>>19 Dumbasses, Malcolm X stopped being a member of the NOI to join a proper libertarian civil rights movement and MLK did the same. Both were killed for not being fascists.
MLK was a memeber of the nation of Islam?
No, Malcom X was a fucking crazy asshole. He was the one who wanted to foment revolution, as stupid as that sounds. Yet he was such a hero to so many black people, they have to find some way to put him in the same league as MLK. So what they said was that while MLK showed the peaceful solution, X showed white people the threat of revolution if "their rights kept being denied". Sort of the carrot and the stick thing. A way to reconcile how they felt like bashing whitey upside the head when they wanted to be able to respect their greatest orator.
So that's why there's this huge "black unity" BS thing going on right now. The crazy assholes who want revolution ALSO want to claim the peaceful civil rights movement of MLK as their own; they want to hijack MLK's vision AND continue to chimp out without being thought of as contradictory.
