Raz the Destroyer was Malcom X or, any other Black Muslim, of today.

That was Ras the Exhorter. What was interesting is that I didn't know they had black nationalists back them. And it wasn't a case of someone taking today's realities and imposing them on the past since Ellison completed Invisible Man in 1952.

The hardest thing for me to remember was that it was written in 1952. Had I not known that before hand (reading the introduction the author wrote), I would have guessed it was late 60's early 70's.

I also saw so many parallels between the Brotherhood (Communists), and the race pimps of today (Extremely left leaning Democrats). The thing that angered me was the lack of conscience shown by the white Brothers in using the Black Brothers to get to there end.

I do admit I am confused at where Sybil comes in? To me she was kind of out of place. I also was a little confused at the end during the riots. I know how the Brotherhood engineered them, but I am still confused as to why?
