Malcolm X's biography (not the first biography) is one of the best books I've ever read. Great human being that did a complete 180 on the Nation of Islam

One hated the white devil man and the other one was a womanizer so Malcolm X sucks about the same as MLK.


Neither makes me think that either sucks totally. Why is MLK being a womanizer a problem for you?

That's fine. He still advocated it at some point and MLK never did. That's why MLK is the GOAT symbol for racial equality and X isn't.

Malcolm X was a violent radical who advocated change through violence which led to a violent end at the hands of his own. MLK Jr. advocated change through peaceful protest although he was an extremely flawed human being and that tends to be overlooked.

At the end of the day its about the message and not the person who delivered it. Peace over violence any day.

Mecca? Well we're in Murica now. Screw both of them. History isn't allowed here anymore.

Malcom X was 10 times the man that MLK was. King was a pussy and borderline Uncle Tom. X stuck it to the man. No contest.

MLK hated all the gays and cheated on his wife. There's a model of morality for you.

Malcolm x was duped, twice.

Mlk was duped once into the dominant paradigm.

Mlk's work was more effective in practice; having to do with his personality and charisma in communicating the dominant paradigm.

I got mlk by two tds.
