A man who came from nothing became a criminal who cared nothing for human life, even his own. While in prison he receives a vision from Elijah Muhammad, the leader of the Black Muslims. After his release from prison, he became a preacher for the Muslims. With the skills and intelligence that made him a "good" criminal, he soon became the #2 man in the organization. He preached separatism and racism, perhaps to the violent extreme. Then he traveled to Mecca. There he saw Muslims of every race: prayed with them, ate with them, lived with them. He realized that not ALL pale-skinned people were devils. Upon his return to the U.S. the other leadership of the Black Muslim organization didn't like the new message Malcom had. He was exiled from the church. He continued preaching his new message, and was assassinated for it.

Malcolm X became no longer about combating hearth with hearth in an attempt to chat. He became about self protection at the same time as confronted with violence contained in the most effective way. Martin became no longer about provide up your delight yet utilising a approach that appealed to the humanity of his attacker. If that failed then use economic sanctions inclusive of boycotts. Martin became properly versed with regulation and understood ALL human beings had the right to guard. Malcolm became properly versed with the regulation to boot and understood at the same time as the authorities no longer served the individuals the individuals have the right to regulate the authorities by in spite of means required. both adult males were reacting to racism that besieged their human beings albeit in numerous approaches... Edit: i will't stand those solutions anymore..base line King became an integrationist in a lengthy line of integrationists. the position has integration gotten us now? we do no longer have self conserving communities. meaning the position Black human beings stay we do not have any grocery shops of our own to feed ourselves, we do not have any significant banks or economic establishments of our own to personal loan us funds to initiate organizations or purchase homes, we do not have any significant production flora of our own no making our own products, we do not administration aspects, we do not farm, fish or herd for food, we are thoroughly depending on somebody else to grant us with the needs of our trouble-free survival. Being depending on somebody else for you survival makes you a slave. hence besides the undeniable fact that integration we at the same time as from one sort a slavery to a distinct. Malcolm became a disciple of Marcus Garvey like his make certain. Malcolm became about self sufficiency. He believed that the Black community might want to create for ourselves. That way lets feed ours, dress ourselves, employ ourselves, homestead ourselves and administration our destiny..Ourselves! The alongside with Chinatown, Greek city, Jew city, Spanish this and that you'll have a Black city. A Black city means we may be secure by the finest of our custom. we may administration our economic destiny. So in understanding that i'm already for Marcus Garvey hence will be for Malcolm X by default...
