They Thought They Were Followers Of Elijah Muhammad But Then It Was Too Late
This is an excellent writing that chronicles the slow, shrewed and calculating events the turned the Nation of Islam from a new force for a new world to a smorgazborg of religious and political correctness. cloaked in the garb of yesterday and baptized in the rhetoric of arguably the nation's finest orator, this may have been one of the greatest cooptations of all time.
It is widely stated euphemistically that the Nation of Islam had changed directions on several occasions. I used the adjective "euphemistically," because it brushes over the severity of the action and consequences.
Innovation, improvement, etc... is part of change and advancement; however, it must maintain a consistent grounding in its foundation and fundamental principles of definition. If its base is violated and made to appear negotiable or susceptible to change, then ambiguity, vagueness, uncertainty, haziness, and doubt become the order of the day.
Under this cloud of indistinctness what some thought was not possible, became the norm. The book, They Thought They Were Followers of Elijah Muhammad...But Then It Was Too Late, tells the story.
