P.P. //but in those days there was only one way out of the ghetto//
Just for the record, he wasn't born in a ghetto, there aren't any in Kentucky, a state I know. (But I understand what you mean)
I've no wish to speak ill of the dead, but some the accolades being put out by people who probably aren't old enough to have witnessed his time.
I found him a very confused person, he didn't want racial integration, looked down on white folk, and yet he was opposed to segregation. But anyone who followed the crackpot teachings of the fraudulent Elijah Muhammad was bound to be confused.
