I think they would be over all proud at the rate of African Americans going to college and competing in the workforce with professional jobs. They would look at the issues and say what we have to work on. I do believe they would probably think this was the most volatile racial environment since the 60's. Because now racism which was very covert in the 80's and 90's is on its way to a massive eruption. The Racist white people are getting tired of silence and PC.

Malcolm X would love the outright hatred and self-obsession of the current community. Remember he advocated the violent overthrow of the government. Martin Luther King would be less positive since he wanted equality and opportunity NOT reverse discrimination and an attitude of entitlement. I think they would both be apalled by rappers and would speak out strongly against them.

i think of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X have been the two super men. they have been the two scuffling with to greater helpful the lives of black human beings. they only took distinctive techniques. Martin Luther King jr. is greater respected by society by fact his ideals weren't as radical as Malcolm X and he looked as though it may desire to repair kin with whites mutually as Malcolm X looked as though it may carry the view that all and sundry whites have been devils and continuously could be. i could say on the instant Martin Luther King jr's dream has no longer yet been found out yet i'm hoping it will be sooner or later. We nonetheless have the form of long thank you to circulate.

Sadly, I would have to agree with Noah. I also wonder if the public at large would have still liked them if they were alive today.

i honestly believe that they would be upset with all of the things and problems going on in the rap game. Not trying to be racist or anything, but i think that based on their past, that they would be ashamed of black culture.
I'm not innocent, i listen to rap and hip-hop 24/7
