The author describes his growing irritation as Elijah Muhammad (who reminds the author increasingly of his tyrannical father) turns the conversation to his apparently favorite theme - the evils perpetrated by the white man. The author describes how he becomes particularly disturbed by how the other (male) guests seem to do nothing but echo Elijah Muhammad's words and thoughts.
