oh really
Is that what it was

 

[kickz]

B/c he was a proper Muslim.

 

[Medulla]

Cause it's easier to misconstrue MLK ideas and beliefs , with X you can't do that plus like you probably already know there is noway is hell they will celebrate a muslim.


There are people saying MLK would of voted for trump or would of beeen republican today pure nonsense

 

[Odkac WRLD]

They had equal impact on black movement tbh, could be argued X had a bigger impact because he always stayed authentic to his message
MLK was simply just the lesser of two evils
They both supported nonviolent protesting but Malcolm X was definitely ok with physical violence/ protesting listen to the speech the ballot or the bullet (something MLK would never say)
Near the end of his life MLK started to pick up X traits, but MLK has his day because he appeals to white society more than X does and is more popular globally than X

Malcolm x was more militant and pro black, that’s why he wasn’t as promoted as MLK imo

Duh, mlk was just more famous I mean just look at the march on Washington, I think it had more to do with location though, Mlk had more people Too draw in due to the south vs the east coast, plus Jim Crow south seems to be more focused on

MLK and Malcom X goals werent the same, MLK wanted desegregation while Malcom advocated the complete separation of African Americans from whites.
Pretty stupid to make a Malcom X day when he wanted the opposite.

Malcolm X wasn't controlled by the banking tribe.

Malcolm X believed Jews had a "grip on the news media" and suggested Jews who claimed to be friends of the black man had ulterior motives. Recently, his quotes have been featured on anti-Semitic and white nationalist websites such as Jew Watch and American Renaissance.

Malcolm X was Muslim and believed in separation while MLK believed in assimilation. MLK appeals more to the white audience as he put the burden on black people to ‘do the right thing’ ie “turn thy cheek” whereas Malcolm X advocated for self sufficiency and self defense. Malcolm X threatened the status quo, while MLK maintained it. AA’s, irrespective of their religion, would’ve have been better off as a whole had they listened to Malcolm X.

for sure! African Americans always do better for themselves when they unionise and help themselves but each time that happens white America steps in to kill whoever is leading this idea.

Malcolm X empowered black people and shunned the victim mentality agenda propelled by MLK.

Yes. Black people help too. The NOI allegedly* had something to do with Malcolm X’s death.

I’m reading his book now. Will make a thread reviewing it once I’m done. Will be nice for you to join the discussion if you have read it.

He was an intelligent, charismatic, delusional man. Had he been the main person of the civil rights movement, Blacks would be in a far, far worse position then they were in today.

MLK's tactics may have been far less radical, but they did so much good.

Idk maybe the US government had something to do with him getting

 

[Advokaten]

He became a traitor to his race by becoming muslim, When he went to hajj and Said that all races were Brotherton there he also failed to realize that more than a hundred thousand slaves still existed in Saudi arabia.

I doubt there were many allies to his cause back in the 50s/ early 60s.
