The Nation of Islam is what blacks need? Wrong my friend. What blacks need is to stop playing victim. It is time to stop talking and act. Many do but far to many don't. It is sad that a people who are given so many opportunities do not take advantage of it. The only reason so many black people convert to Islam is because they believe it defies white Christian America. For people who want to fit in they sure do love to go against the grain. Go against the grain, you get splinters.
