MLK’s Socialist and communist element made him much more hated than Malcolm and the fact that MLK could influence certain politics in ways Malcolm could not.
Plus MLK was and integrationist which people hated way more than a separationist.

One has a holiday and the other one doesn't even get spoken about by cacs. Both men were hated by cacs but they've been able to whitewash MLK, whereas there's no way to whitewash Malcolm which is why they've tried to run with the gay narrative.

No, no, no. Both these men were targets on the FBI's COINTELPRO agenda along with others like Muhammad Ali, Fred Hampton and Huey Newton. The feds used the same tactics to target and harass Malcolm as they did MLK. Per their redacted, publicly available memos, the FBI did not see one as more of a threat than the other.
Now we can surmise MLK was a bigger threat from the passage below:
MLK was called called "the most dangerous and effective Negro leader in America", pointing to king's ability to reach across the political and racial aisles. Fred Hampton also had the ability unite ppl by their commonality....which is why he was killed so blatantly and quickly compared to other civil rights leaders. X didn't attempt to do any of this until a few years before his death.
Does that mean one is more dangerous than the other? No. Both were/are threats to American sovereignty.
Stop trying to pit these great men against one another. Sowing divisiveness is one of the tactics agents COINTELPRO practices. Why help them?

Create a negative public image for target groups (for example through surveilling activists and then releasing negative personal information to the public)
Break down internal organization by creating conflicts (for example, by having agents exacerbate racial tensions, or send anonymous letters to try to create conflicts)
Create dissension between groups (for example, by spreading rumors that other groups were stealing money)
Restrict access to public resources (for example, by pressuring non-profit organizations to cut off funding or material support)
Restrict the ability to organize protest (for example, through agents promoting violence against police during planning and at protests)
Restrict the ability of individuals to participate in group activities (for example, by character assassinations, false arrests, surveillance)

Both were more effective because of the other existing at the same time. Having different spectrums of militancy and forcing people to choose one or the orher versus simply being anti was the most effective tactic.
No.
They were hated about equally, both seen as Black troublemakers, focused on upending white supremacist society.
MLK Jr. was much more well-known than Malcolm X, though he had reached some international prominence.
People pretending that Malcolm X's self-defense approach was more fear-worthy than MLK Jr. direct action approach are engaging in historical revisionism. White people saw MLK Jr. as responsible for the race riots, for the mass discontent, as well as for virtually everything that happened between the Black community here in the U.S. and the white community.

I always wondered what would have happened if more black people would have followed the ways of Malcolm X, instead of MLK.

Pretty sure MLK was more feared. Everything I've read seemed to be that black Muslims were a tiny fringe group that never caught on quite as much as MLK did. Even when Malcolm died the scale of uproar wasn't anywhere near as when MLK died. I believe I saw someone post a street interview back in the day asking black citizens if they even know NOI and some of them were against them so I don't see how Cacs could fear a much smaller, less "powerful" man than one like MLK with his level of outreach. Some of their propaganda likely supports this too.

White ppl hated MLK more and actually agreed with early Malcolm's and NOI's stance on segregation.
They also hated MLK more because he lived 3 more years than Malcolm and had more time to make them angry

MLK was because he was on more of a bigger platform for whites to see and hate and add the fact he constantly stayed and moved around the south

MLK was much, much better known than Malcolm in those days.
My relations in Virginia and North Carolina even back in the 70s, did not know who Malcolm was, but they had
a picture of Dr. King on their wall right next to Jesus.
Malcolm was very much a New York City/urban phenomenon, and not nearly as well-known by people in the South, Midwest and West in the early 1960s.
You still had areas in the country where television and radio reception was bad. And if your local newspaper didn't cover an issue (assuming that you were literate), it didn't happen.
And most everyday white people throughout the nation had no idea who Malcolm X was. So much so, that Mike Wallace had to produce a "news expose" in the 1960s about the "unknown" Black Muslim Movement called "The Hate That Hate Produced."
