President Obama’s outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder made an eyebrow-raising book recommendation in his exit interview with Politico on Friday.
Asked by Politico’s Mike Allen to name the one book Holder would recommend for a young man coming to Washington to read, Holder recommended the work of controversial civil rights figure Malcolm X.
“I would hope that I say this not to every African-American of his age but for every American, that you read The Autobiography of Malcolm X to see the transition that that man went through, from petty criminal to a person who was severely and negatively afflicted by race, to somebody who ultimately saw the humanity in all of us, and that would be a book I would recommend to everybody,” said Holder.

Holder is America’s fourth-longest-serving most corrupt ever attorney general.I'm sure Loretta Lynch will be much better. </sarc>

Actually I suspect Malcolm X would not think very highly of Holder.

Read the Bible...
More fulfilling than the rants of a Bizarro World Apartheid proponent.
Besides, his ideas were shot full of holes, so I’m not sure how relevant he is anymore...

I read Malcolm X's autobiography many years ago, and I actually have a lot of respect for the guy, although I don't agree with his viewpoints on most things. But he wasn't afraid to stand up for what he believed in.

The Obama Admin has a high opinion of Black Muslims.
Not hard to connect the dots.
