[Epona]

johnny has it spot on - he was turning away from the Nation of Islam, because having met muslims of all colours and races, he came to the conclusion that their seperatist agenda was wrong. He started to preach inclusivity, and working together with all oppressed peoples, regardless of their colour, to change society. This made him more dangerous to the state (united we stand etc is very true) and earned him a lot of enemies within the NoI. Hence he ended up dead!
