Do your research , brotha. NOI didn't believe in a white god. NOI did more more black conciousness than any other group at the time. They're responsible for creating Malcolm X , the man so many of us love today.

they did more than just that.....now didn't they?

Malc was my dude , but he was a traitor , bro. The radical tough talking Malcolm was a product of the NOI. You cant like that part of Malcolm and not like the NOI.
