5. It's hate and bigotry that those boys were weaned on.

They were force fed racism at home, school, church and their community. When they saw the members of the Black Hebrew Israelites they saw only the color of their skin and not a fellow religious group that shared similar beliefs.

"Black Hebrew Israelites (also called Black Hebrews, African Hebrew Israelites, and Hebrew Israelites) are groups of Black Americans who believe that they are descendants of the ancient Israelites. Black Hebrews adhere in varying degrees to the religious beliefs and practices of both Christianity and Judaism."

They are lost, and today's generation of young people will be the surly, hateful old bigots of tomarrow.
