Yet another title that can mean multiple things. I feel like these blogs should get more specific but then again that wouldn't be the point of this class.
So X is known huh? Lets see i take this as the last name X is known. Especially in the nation of Islam. X is to replace one of the members slave name. It is supposed to represent the separation from the white one. Its supposed to show one's independence from its master.
Then again there is only person that most of us are familiar and of course its none other than the Malcolm X. But the book provides multiple examples that many were not familiar with it. When i first saw that other people changed their last name to x i found to be dumbfounded. I honestly did not know other people did what Malcolm did. Call me naive but its true.
This book showed me multiple facts that i was not aware of. This book opened up a whole another to me. Hmmm maybe Malcolm's theory of history is right. They only show you what “they” want to show you. But nonetheless no one knows who set up the system. Malcolm rejected this system and I agree with him in this aspect.
