LIGHT BULB!!!

It just hit me. Considering the original post and what we all know is being done to black men in the inner city and in prisons, is it any wonder black men are flocking to Nation of Islam in droves, considering it’s precepts?

It seems that it could supply a strong male need that is simply not being met otherwise (I'm talking about a family and future in which he plays the role of father figure and provider, with authority over his dominion/family), especially for boys/men who grow up in the poor black cultural centers of the US.

I've read some things where black male converts to Islam are saying just about the same thing that you are.
