I thought you might find this interesting, I did and funny too. He came to this conclusion after reading their theories while in Malcolm X was in jail.

"Schopenhauer, Kant, Nietzsche, naturally, I read all of those. I don't respect them; I am just trying

to remember some of those whose theories I soaked up in those years. These three, it's said, laid

the groundwork on which the Fascist and Nazi philosophy was built. I don't respect them because

it seems to me that most of their time was spent arguing about things that are not really

important."
