Elijah Muhammad, the leader of the Nation of Islam, considered Black people to be the original and divine people of the Earth, often referring to them as the "Chosen People." He taught that they had been oppressed and marginalized throughout history but possessed inherent greatness and potential. His teachings emphasized the need for Black self-identity, pride, and economic independence, advocating for a separation from white society to achieve this.

Do white people really consider black people as less of a person human being?

I don't think it's fair to make the assumption that all (or even most) white people consider black people to be less human than they are. There are, of course, groups of radical white supremacists, but they are the exception, I believe.


How was Malcolm X life after prison?

Malcolm began to preach his newly found religious views. He went to churches preaching to his fellow black people that this whit God that the white people have taught you to pray to and worship is the wrong God and that you should leave this church and come praise Elijah Muhammad. Also Malcolm began giving more speeches around America but mostly in Harlem, New York, talking about how Black people are not Americans because they were not truly free here in America and just because you were born here does not make you an American. Also Malcolm encouraged his fellow black people telling them there is nothing wrong with being called a Black person because before we were forced over here as slaves we were Black people, before we discriminated against we were Black People, and ect. So Embrace your Blackness because Black is beautiful.
