This book is about a group reported to be within the Nation of Islam, that carried out the systematic murders of white people in California. Characterizing whites as "blue-eyed devils," these attacks were random and often very brutal. (One white man having been kidnapped off of the street and slowly cut to pieces). Although this book has been out of print for a number of years, it is a good read and an accurate account of the beliefs and behaviors of a shadow group that engaged in race-motivated attacks against whites in San Francisco in the early 1970's -- and who were reportedly members of Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam. The crimes were chilling, but what is even more chilling is that people don't realize the extent to which "cults" can become warped with hatred and turn to horrific actions -- even when under the guise of what should be a legitimate religion. When hatred is preached from the pulpit, the result can be individuals who act on the desire to punish those that he hatred is directed towards. If we think this type of thing only happens in the Middle East (and we are inundated with the atrocities being perpetrated against other sects by "rebels" or whatever terminology is popular), the same things have happened here and it is likely that history will repeat itself and they will happen again. Hatred and violence is hatred and violence and it makes no difference whether it's being preached in a church, a mosque, or a temple -- it's not holy hatred when preached where the words of God are supposedly spoken. This book is timely and shines a bright light on how teaching black people to blame white people for all of the difficulties they encounter in life (whitey is evil) has contributed greatly to activities such as the "Knockout Game," the rioting, looting, and other behaviors that have been going on throughout the country, with the flames of black unrest being fanned by people like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Nancy Grace, and other media personalities (including celebrities). It should be a must read on college campuses where "check your privilege" is routinely said to white students. Creating a culture of blame and hatred is counter-productive to a successful society and does nothing to advance the people being encouraged to believe that they cannot excel and succeed because of prejudice by other members of society.
