Article Abstract:
Blacks are attracted to the many sectarian separatist organizations which flourish in the US because these sects offer immediate solutions to social problems of racial inequality. The sects highlight their religious and cultural ideals, and encourage their followers to ignore social norms. These religious groups almost always end in disaster because their aggressive stance against society brings them into confrontation with law enforcement organizations.
