- ... as a retardant to progressive Black development in North America, at best, and more often, by the intellectual community as a racist, a bigot, and a danger to society. Ron Nixon, who is a staff writer at the Roanoke (Virginia) Times, believes that "Some of Farrakhan's appeal can be attributed to youthful experimentation by these young adults, and to their somewhat narrow embrace of 1960s-style black nationalism as expressed by Malcolm X, the Black Panther Party, and the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)."
