I think, in this regard, the key difference between MLK and Malcolm X was that, unlike MLK, Malcolm was okay with violence if it was in self-defense.
Pretty much my point.
I think it is has always been a myth that Malcolm wanted violence. I simply think he simply didn't want the abuse.
I think human nature in general is simple, and even for other life too. Most life will do what it does, react to a swarm.
Malcolm didn't like violence, but he also saw that no matter what he did, it didn't matter. Even MLK saw this.
"Riots are the voices of the unheard" MLK.
Malcolm WAS NOT ok with violence. I am tired of that canard. He was simply in disagreement with MLK as to how to stand up to oppression.
Both MLK and Malcolm simply hated getting kicked in the nuts. Malcolm simply had a shorter fuse.
Dude - you JUST SAID that Malcolm X advocated violence. Now, you’re saying that’s a myth.
Dafuq is wrong with you?
