Not Really My Inroduction

In the chapter Mecca in the "Autobiography of Malcolm X", Malcolm receives a new outlook on the white man as well as the evil of racism. Many people think he accepts them as human beings instead of what he would consider as the devil as well and another victim of racism. And yet we fail to look back within the book notice the large detail that would disagree with this claim. On page 40 Malcolm states,"...while my primary concern would be to grab a few crumbs from the groaning board of the two-faced whites with whom they're begging to 'integrate,'" which seems odd from a man who has suddenly changed his views on the white man. If Malcolm is a changed man but still refers to whites as two-faced then how has Malcolm changed if he really did? One way to think about Malcolm's change of mind towards whites is to consider that he still has a deep hatred to other whites that happened to not be Muslim.
