Where did this idea that MLK was a c00n come from?

[Cereal_Bowl_Assassin]

Nah, man.

This thread has drawn many insightful comments. I'm all for it if that's what it takes.

Ha yeah I agree. I edited my post because it was in the wrong section

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

bougie so called pro-blacks be on this wave just to appear more "down" back in the day.

 

[David_TheMan]

NoI largely hinted at him being a soft shoer and the fact thar he was taking orders from a self hating c00n like rustin is most likely yhe answer as to why

 

[David_TheMan]

All of this is true and as somebody said was much needed

but Malcolm wasn't down there going to jail or being spit on the way dr king was...

Dr king will always have that over Malcolm

This is absurd.
Malcolm, TRM Howard and other non intergrationist were just as down as MLK. They chose not to put themaelves in the foolish nonviolent response shyt mlj and rustin were doing

 

[Cadillac]

This fake woke Uncle Tom right here went out of his way in this thread to throw MLK under the bus only to expose himself.








So I had to school him. He never came back in the thread after I did.


He later proposed a “Bill of Rights for the Disadvantaged,” calling on government to spend $100 billion over the course of a decade (the equivalent of $650 billion now) on assistance for housing, employment and education.

The Chicago campaign of peaceful protests was met by angry mobs — hurling rocks and shouting slurs. The effort sputtered. <------



MLKs own words:

I am proposing, therefore, that, just as we granted a GI Bill of Rights to war Veterans, America launch a broad-based and gigantic Bill of Rights for the Disadvantaged, our veterans of the long siege of denial. I am specifically proposing that the platform of [this] party include an endorsement and support for the broad plan of such a Bill.

A Bill of Rights for the Disadvantaged would immediately transform the conditions of Negro life. The most profound alteration would not reside so much in the specific grants as in the basic psychological and motivational transformation of the Negro. I would challenge skeptics to give such a bold new approach a test for the next decade. I contend that the decline in school dropouts, family breakups, crime rates, illegitimacy, swollen relief rolls and other social evils would stagger the imagination. Change in human psychology is normally a slow process, but it is safe to predict that, when a people are ready for change as the Negro has shown himself ready today, the response is bound to be rapid and constructive.

Just remembered nonADOS to, interesting.

People put they 21 century thoughts on Jim Crow south. Let’s be honesty, what Malcolm and the nation was facing up north was nothing close to what Martin and the civil right movement was facing down south.
I stress to a lot of people. The south needed a different kinda finesse to win, they wanted black people to attack so they could have a reason to massively kill black people cause the the kkk was ingrained in every part of the government, from the police to the court houses.

Up north they didn’t have those same attacks so they could fight force with force cause they weren’t under the same kinda pressure.

white protesters would come down south to protest him crow and segregation and they would die and never be found again, it needed a different kinda finesse

and for damn sure the nation would not have been able to come down here with the way they moved during that time period without being thrown in jail and being killed after.

both great men that was in different places, that needed different approaches

Best post in this thread

Infact I never even thought or paid mind to the regions they were working in.

Malcolm and NOI we're good for the North. And we're great for the north

But MLK was needed for the South. And his approach was best for that region.

 

[Rollie Forbes]

A mistake that a lot of us make (myself included) is that Dr. King preached nonviolence because he was soft. He wasn't; Dr. King was a rider.
In Min. Malcolm's early speeches, he criticized Dr. King; but in his later years, Malcolm realized that both he and Dr. King had a common love and hope for Black people. They also developed a respect for each other.
There's so much more to MLK than the "I have a dream" speech. If he was some soft, hang-headed negro, then the gov't wouldn't have had him assasinated. Please read some of his books, essays, and speeches. MLK wasn't ducking any smoke with racist cacs or the federal government.
Like an earlier poster said, almost all of the fake woke keyboard warriors of today would've thrown in the towel long before taking the beatings, stabbing, incarceration, public shaming, etc. that Dr. King endured on our behalf.

 

[cheek100]

When did that happen?

at the barber shop

 

[Black Lightning]

That's an opinion. And Malcolms teachings weren't his. They were Elijah Muhammad's. Malcolms TRUE beliefs are what got him kicked out of the nation and killed.

You think Elijah(a dude with a 3rd grade education) was coming up with those speeches?

 

[Lesfilles]

Black nationalists were calling dr king an Uncle tom way back in the 60’s

This is not a new opinion at all, and as I’ve said before - Malcolms teachings and quotes have aged far better than dr kings

A lot of academics back in the day also didn't agree with his stance- this is far from a new opinion. Not that I agree or disagree, but you're entirely right that there were blacks who didn't agree with his same line of thought and didn't think integration would be helpful.

Wouldn't say they called him an Uncle Tom or anything, but they didn't agree with his concepts economically.

 

[jackson35]

She’s not wrong though



Integration killed all of this

integration only created a market where we can service other communities beside the black communities. let's not pretend that black business did not have white customers

 

[Barnett114]

Integration has been a complete disaster. There was a large number of black folks in the 60's saying what the outcome would be so this isnt a hindsight criticism. There has to be a reexamination of his legacy and the civil rights movement.

 

[Flywin Lannister]

Anyone that has that to say about MLK, I'll pretty much disregard anything they have to say on Black history after that.

Black people wouldn’t have been allowed to tweet if it wasn’t for MLK, Malcolm X etc.

So.. who are actually the real c00ns?

If you insult your parent’s heroes you’re a loser typing things just to evoke a reaction.

 

[Flywin Lannister]

Never agreed with this mod before I think but @String Bell what you smoking?

A reexamination of MLK’s legacy? Bro..

 

[jackson35]

Dr. King was the most successful reformer of societal structure in modern history.

He has no equal.
