Jealousy (#4)

The progression between Malcolm's and Elijah relationship has started to break apart. Elijah's reasoning for this hatred would be the result of Malcolm's great ability to communicate with the people. These skills were born, not from books or teaching but through life experiences. Elijiah, the original leader of the Nation of Islam, is enraged at the overwhelming popularity of Malcolm. Elijah's hatred is so overwhelming that it is even to the point where he wants Malcolm dead. I disagree with Elijiah's decision to hate Malcolm. I think if Elijah appreciates and truly loves the Nation of Islam he shouldn't care that Malcolm is the most popular leader of the Nation of Islam. I believe that jealousy is the cause of  a lot of hatred in the world, the newest being our president, Barack Obama. Barack Obama is a well qualified president and he has the capability to take control of the United States and lead us into well being but many will disagree. I discovered from an article that there are many people posting racial and threatening comments on the internet about Barack Obama. I see this as an act of envy. So many people,  mostly caucasians, are jealous of Barack's presidential status considering he is black. Elijah was angered and jealous by Malcolm's popularity to the people of NOI, just like the white people are jealous of Baracks ability to be president. People who believe in white supremacy don't want African Americas to have a seat of power, they want blacks to support the whites not rise above them. This I must disagree with. Blacks should have an equal opportunity that whites have. I believe that Barack should be accepted as our president despite his skin color. As long as you love America, and the president is doing good for the United States why should it matter who is our president?
