X Marks the spot. As in, that’s the goal. As in, that’s where all the ends justify the means. We are reading Malcolm X’s autobiography. It includes everything from his life. Not just all his accomplishments. It includes his messed up childhood, his hustle, his drugs, his running around with women, everything. However, I feel like he wouldn’t change a thing. He analyzes everything and sees the significance. X is aware of where he has messed up and takes full ownership. He is even thankful for some of it. Without prison, X would have never found the nation of Islam.
X marks the spot. His goals and ideology were a result of his past. What the overall “spot” is, I'm not sure. My previous knowledge tells me he aimed for a proud black race that is fully aware of themselves in the past, present, and future. That they achieve economic independence and won't allow anyone to step all over them anymore. I actually am looking forward to the rest of the book. I will probably have a better interpretation of him then.
Soo I'm not sure if how I read this blog was totally off base. I would actually like some people's thoughts if anyone bothers to read other people's blogs AND comment them :)
