It’s hard for me to learn about him cause racism and lynching were horrible. You understand where he was coming from and maybe it was right for that day and age. These days not so much, MLK takes the cake.
American Patriot.

He was gunned down by the Nation of Islam because he became disillusioned with the movement and mainly beefed with the leader Elijah Muhammad I believe his name was.
He didn’t change much, he just wanted to do his own thing, from what I understand.

I’ll never join in the dog pile on MLK. He was an important man in American history.
There will always be a bit of bitterness towards the civil rights movement because of the religious aspects and their treatment of gays.
But oh well, it got done eventually.

Sorry, but I don’t care anymore.
He was a threat to the Nation of Islam and white America. An intelligent, articulate black man, is a threat to power. Like Clarence Thomas.
they didnt like gays?
usually when you speak truth to power like malcolm did something bad happens to you whether your misunderstood all the way to crucifixion.

I believe we would be better off if he had lived, especially black people.

It was just damaging to their movement to be seen with gays during the day. He probably was a bit homophobic but everyone was back then, especially Christians.

White southern racists hated that guy, they slandered him all the time. That paragon of southern virtue Sen. Strom Thurmond said he was a commie and gay.Believe he was good friends with this man and had no hatred of gays.Bayard Rustin - Wikipedia

I see him more as a pragmatist than anything else. Garnering support from everyone and supporting everyone to further human rights for everyone.
Don’t know about him being a commie, but wouldn’t be surprised. It was a very compelling ideology behind the iron curtain until you see the realities of what it brought.

He wasn’t a commie. And you’re right, that ideology is appealing to downtrodden people.

MLK was shot by a white supremacist with a rifle.
Malcom X was gunned down by the Nation of Islam members, probably a hit by the leadership.
They are two sides of the same coin when it comes to civil rights movement in America, but my school completely ignored malcom for the most part. All you knew was he was an angry black man that supported violence and was killed by blacks. You never really learned exactly why he was so pissed, rightfully so to.

That’s what I thought about Malcolm until I became interested in him after the movie with Denzel, arguably one of the best actors ever, I started reading and watching documentaries on him.
