I think Whites had to feel the threat of violence at the time. I think Malcolm was right on the money with the threat of violence if civil rights weren't attained but I think Martin was on the right side of history with his non-violence stance because in the end that is what worked because it allowed Whites to have empathy for our plight.

Had Blacks waged war in the streets we would be like the Native Americans are today, If you see 2 full blooded Native Americans in the same month you'd be surprised. Them cacs would've eradicated us.

Haitians beg to differ breh :jawalrus:

MLK was a man who cheated on his wife, cheated on his fukkin college thesis :stopitslime: and was Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton before there was a Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, He laid the blueprint for them.
Malcom X was revolutionary with morals who WOULD have changed the world and actually got shyt done.

who do you side with? and why?

WTF is Martin even saying in this video? He just rambles about nonsense and seems a little on the slow side honestly. Malcom X hitting him with TRUE FACTS about TRUE SITUATIONS.
Reporter-Do you consider yourself militant?
Malcom X- I consider myself Malcom :ohlawd:

Malcolm should have gone down south and confront white racism directly, where it was most blatant. His message of self determination would go so much farther.

MLK was not a "nicer guy" in the context of completely bowing down to whites. That is a myth and a terrible one. He had guns and understood that it might be necessary to use lethal force for self defense, including employing armed defenders. He understood that, as other posters pointed out, his message and terms needed to be presented along side a very counter-revolution and violent alternative.

Malcolm would end up walking back a lot of what he said about MLK later on in his life.

fukk what you heard, MLK was the greatest American that ever lived. Not only did he contribute to the Black Civil Rights movement, but was the most prominent advocate of social justice, socialism, anti-capitalism, love, integration, and legal political morality that has ever existed in this country. And to be honest, that's why I think they killed him. Once you start advocating and showing people the atrocities of the Military Industrial Complex and Capitalist greed, that's the end of the line, especially back in those days during the Cold War and the US Government's systematic blow back to Socialist and Marxist policies.

All in my opinion of course.

Exactly..Most nikkas responding in this thread are going by the "whitewashed" perception of MLK they have from the few minutes they spent awake in middle school....MLK wasnt loved back then...he was considered a "radical" "Enemy of the state"

If he wasn't a preacher and public figure with connections world wide they would have Gitmo'ed him a long time ago...He was hated in his time ...MLK day wasnt celebrated nationwide till 2000...AFTER all the Cacs who were born in the 1930s and before were all gone.

Malcolm had better rhetoric but MLK had the higher ground intellectually and morally

And once you get white folks to follow your lead as a black man that is when the white supremacist get shook. Same with the black panthers. White folks were joining that movement once they find out "free lunch" and "health care" they had to take them out.
