Martin Luther King or Malcolm X

[gchaneyjr]

From what i have seen recently reading up on all of this mess I gotta say Im a Malcolm X guy. He stood for what he believed even though he thought violence was necessary to get change. Malcolm had the white liberal pegged too as the most dangerous to the black community. I think Martin Luther King was too much of a puppet for Democrats.

Sorry, but Malcom X advocated for violence and was a staunch racist against different groups. He was not about Bringing different races together to help unify the country on principles of equality. He was a militant black man and was all about militant black power. The fact that he correctly pegged certain white liberals for that they are can’t override all that.

In The African Americans: Many Rivers To Cross, Gates, Jr. does a great job juxtaposing/contrasting MLK and Malcolm X during the Civil Rights Movement. MLK was ten times the man Malcolm X was, and 10 times the civil rights leader. Booker T and Medgar Evers were far better too.

X started figuring it out at the end.. then they whacked him

Just read up on Booker T. I never heard of him. Seemed like a great leader and gentlemen.

MLK didn’t meet a communist donor or white prostitute that he didn’t like. Truly one of the biggest hypocrites in American history.

BOTH....and by the time of his death Malcolm was not the same person philosophically.
