Cop out

Is it plausible that the white man really is the devil, or is this just a copout? I've found that it's easier to blame one thing or person for my grief than work through the drudgery of the often complicated issues surrounding my problem. I don't discredit the fact that white dominance has been splattered all over history. The white's need to rule the world has been one of the main reason so many in the world hate them. White people are known to have raped and pillaged in the name of love, in the name of Christ. What has been done is atrocious.
In the book, as the idea of the white devil was presented to Malcolm X, he perused his memory and remembered absolutely nothing good from any white person he had ever come in contact with. Had this really been true? Was he buying into this because it was easy? It's easy to say, "I hate the white man, he is the root of all my problems, he must be the devil."
I will say that the white man is not the only one to exploit. Blacks exploit. In the Color Purple, they exploit and rape their own. As do many many other races and peoples. Are they the devil?
I think Mr. Muhammad's religion is a cop out. He's crazy.
