I think you should read a little bit more than what the "others" have written on both Civil Rights leaders... Even if you've read both of their books:
The Autobiography of Malcolm X and
Why We Can't Wait, I think that the scope of both leaders pursuance of "equal access and opportunity" fortifying the 14th Constitutional Amendment, "equal protection" suggests that their ideals are less divergent than one would read or see in the popular media.
Malcolm X still did a Hajj, a peaceful march for spiritual renewal to Mecca and it was an unheard of practice done by a popular United States icon...
MLK boldly stood on the doorsteps before racist Montgomery police to be arrested for trumped up Alabama segregation violations...
Your assumptions about who was the better Civil Rights motivational leader for changes in the African American community is rather incomplete. It took numerous individuals in both camps to attain the simple "blessing" you and I have been bequeathed.
Your statement of Malcolm's unacceptance of "integration" was similar to that as Martin's belief. MLK was for "desegregation"--NOT integration--fundamental difference...
And when I saw Betty Shabazz speak, she requested that we, as students, KNOW OUR HISTORY by reading documents that have enabled us to have rights that are Federally enforced--especially the 1964 and 1965 Civil Right's acts. She demanded for ALL of us there to KNOW WHAT THESE ACTS MEAN... Malcolm X obviously supported that concept--I think Betty Shabazz would have KNOWN...
Yes, we have more rights than available to us just 35 years ago (and I am 34 years old
). In no way do I think that racism and bigotry do not exist. But I do think that people of color, especially those of African descent, should KNOW how to battle and defeat the concept of white supremacy and europee-on concept of domination--cultural asili. I think think the erasure of these concepts should have more focus than plights of oppression...
Violence and war does not defeat these humankind ailments--just ask the Israelis and the Palestines that question... Two wrongs don't make a right--but it sho duz make it even...
No, IMHO, I think that the extinction of white supremacy and europee-on concept of domination will require a Divine rapture...
