How does Malcolm feel about the black families that live on the Hill?

For the most part, he felt that the people on the Hill were delusional... impressed with their own self-impotance, which often amounted to nothing.

In those days on the Hill, any who could claim "professional" status-teachers, preachers, practical nurses-also considered themselves superior.

I'd guess that eight out often of the Hill Negroes of Roxbury, despite the impressive-sounding job titles they affected, actually worked as menials and servants.

It has never ceased to amaze me how so many Negroes, then and now, could stand the indignity of that kind of self-delusion.
