Answer 1

Oh goodness, it's been a while since I read the book.  

"Chickens coming home to roost."  is an understatement that Malcolm X made in reference to Kennedy's death.  When you hear it and if you ever heard him say it, you think chicken running around celebrating.  However, it not what he meant.

I want to say "White America" is an opinion oxymoron. Because it's just America.

Since I don't have the book in front of me, working solely from memory, I can't offer much.  Review some of his speeches to find some of his understatements.  You may find some oxymoron in early communications with Elija Muhammed.
