Malcolm x journey to Mecca
As Malcolm x went through his journey to Mecca, he had a strong belief that the black and the white race could never come together and live peacefully. Loving in America where racism was very high made Malcolm believe that white people are evil, and they have the privilege to enjoy good things in life while black people suffer under the expense of the whites. Through his journey in Mecca, he was able to change his mind about white people, after realizing that not all white people are evil. The journey changed his mind and transformed all his initial believes after seeing different people from different races coming together and working without barriers. “Never have i seen such a beautiful sight nor witnessed such a scene nor felt such an atmosphere” (378) are the words he used to describe the appearance of different races interacting without minding their racial differences. He later set goals to work for the principles he now believed. He explained that it was his first time experiencing color blindness in the Muslims, and he also talked about how there was no difference between the blacks and whites in America, and there was still hope of the two races coming together.
