Thanks readers for the correction! I previously wrote that Malcolm X had hated white folks but changed after his visit to Mecca. It seems that was too generalized. Ehav said it best:
"when Malcolm X went to Mecca he saw that what he had learned from the Nation of Islam wasn't Islam. He saw the the problem wasn't some mythical background where all white people came from a corrupt source. He saw that institutionalized racism was a problem that was affected all people in America.
So it wasn't him changing from a hate to an understanding. It was understanding of the situation being opened up to the real reality." Ehav
Robb Pearson, who fought against Atzlan, a group of Mexicans who immigrated illegally to Southern part of America, and who were unsatisfied and then wanted to annex it into their own country because they say America stole it from them. He later saw things for what it was and changed and became pro-immigration.
The point I wanted to make was: Can someone going from one thing, one way, one belief and suddenly do an about face?
