During our class discussion last Thursday, August 30, Professor Garcia commented, ” He was talking about some pretty incendiary stuff…” She was referring to when Malcolm X was writing letters to others and they wouldn’t reply to something “saying something as wild as “the white man is the devil””. In this case, what he wrote in his letters imply how it was a bit outrageous to be receiving something that contains this information, let alone writing these things to people with a lot of power. Overall, this word can be understood as a cause of or causing trouble.
