I appreciate the fact that you understood that Malcolm was not advocating indiscriminate violence. This is a point of contention that a lot of people could not seem to understand in regards to him, or understood it and pretended not to. It's a big difference between walking up to a man and hitting him for no apparent reason. And defending yourself against that attack.
Thank you @Michael Wilks. Sound this for the whole world especially black people to hear. You said it all. Some of my family members, some of my family friends and I spent years studying both men’s approaches, especially that of Malcom, right from the late 80s in Africa.
Some of my African friends took the name Malcolm X because of his audacity and intelligence. He said it all without fear or fret, and never shied from correcting any of his wrong opinions or beliefs especially, after he toured the world. He understood pan-Africanism to the core which led him to attend OAU meetings in Africa and visiting African countries like Ghana, Morrocco,Lagos, Nigeria where he took the name, the people called him Omo Wale (Yoruba translation: the son has returned home). He was an enigmatic African warrior who had meetings with African leaders on the way forward for African nations’ independence then.

That sounds just like a reply from a racist white boy who don't want to admit how important the Nation of Islam was to the advancement of black people.
Is it all religions and beliefs subjective. How can someone who don't believe in any form of Islam state that the Nation of Islam is not is not Islam. That's like a Hindu same Catholicism it's not real Christianity. What dead again white people defined everything in this world. So who can argue with them?
The Nation Of Islam Has Changed To A New Form. The Form Of Sunni Islam But They Still Are Committed To Helping Black People. Is That Bad, No It Isn't But You See It As So
Your take on Malcolm X is what I been saying for years. Black Americans would be so far right now if we would listen to both of them. However, the sad part is, their voice was silent and there movements was water down.
I'm English and to be honest I know nothing about the civil rights movement. MLK yes I've heard off but more through his assassination. Nothing about their political stand points. And probably been swayed towards MLK really due to the media.
@@_VISION. Martin actually began to come around to understanding that same truth. This is why he was ultimately assassinated. and there are facts you can check on that in his interviews from 1967 up until his assassination and in J. Edgar Hoovers recorded accounts of MLK particularly when he was being marked fir assassination for rejecting his "obedience to white liberal doctrine."
Most people in the comment section prefer Malcolm instead of MLK. That's a big change from the earlier generation where people looked at MLK, and Malcolm X was not known as he is now. Thanks to the internet and RUclips people have listened to Malcolm X speeches now they know how they were manipulated by the media.
Any intelligent person who has an even moderate grasp of history will realize, even if they don't say it, that Malcolm was probably right. The black man needed to stand up for himself, fight for his dignity by any means necessary and build his own community, separate from that of his oppressor
Facts MLK was obsessed with white wmn n wanted to mingle with them freely. Malcom just wanted us to do our own thing n stop being yes men to white ppl.
@@vanbeet5105 Yes, obviously what Malcolm said was true, however, yt folk of that era are looking for any small thing to use against the civil rights movement. So without MLK a revolution is still impossible.
Let's invoke him in the best way we can and do our way within the context of the modern times. I think we can still do what Malcom X proposed, and through business and entrepreneurship.
MLK was a time killer for both white and black. Spoke with no real effect, sorry to those who love him but that'sthe truth. MX was carrying all blacks on his back alone and he was strong enough so they shot him.
King was also for black elevation. I don't know how many of his books you've read, but in his autobiography and also "Where Do We Go From Here--Chaos Or Community?" he advocates black psychological upliftment. His 1965 speech in Philadelphia and his 1967 "Black and beautiful" speech elevates the black community, too.
Malcolm X was far ahead of his time comparison with king is so so low Malcolm was not just ahead of king but was far ahead of is era, white men will always say king because that's the kind of protest they wanted,
When I talk to people about Malcolm X and do my best to explain and articulate his philosophy and teachings, I get the typical negligent response "Violence is never the answer though" and I continue with, "If you're family is threatened, someone barges in YOUR house, you won't defend by any means necessary?"
Yeah but that completely different than wantonly killing white people to send a message. The whole point of "ballots then bullets" is meant as an ultimatum not an appeal to self preservation. Its this philosophy that lead the black panthers to kill whites and intimidate people at the ballots which is no different than what the Klan did.
@Thug Rose I agree with integration as well , but only if the law of the land is on your side. Non violent protest to integrate and getting brutalized by police didn't seem like good critical thinking skills to me. Why to patronize other people businesses whom rather discriminate against you? At the end of the day America need to admit what we had was not a civil rights problem, but a human rights problem. Still do. We still have mass poverty among African Americans, more money put towards a military industrial complex and prison then to social reform. America still owe reparations, and it should still be an ongoing conversation. Mlk wanted a check to put towards stimulate the economy , black business ownership, same for Malcolm but he wanted to take it a step further by requesting land.
Facts peaceful protests change absolutely nothing never have and never will mlk was intelligent but at the end of the day he was someone white people could use and did use malcom ove mlk any day
Malcom was a Human Rights activist by way of education and evolution. He was my hero the only black man I ever looked up to and hoped to learn from, and I did. He taught me man means mind. If you don't mature as you age you will continue to be misled, run a muck, and robbed. And in some cases murdered. Never forget your enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy. Look around.
To be honest? When it's all said and done both are amazing upstanding black icons but I have no idea how anybody went with what Martin was spewing. Give me Malcolm any day
StrawHat Luffy what I think is that you need both. peaceful protests because if you only have riots then you’ll cause more damage than healing. If you only have peaceful protests, there’s no urgency and the peaceful protesters can be ignored and pushed over.
StrawHat Luffy btw just as a habit, try not to call everyone that disagrees with your opinions a fool. You can debate things without going at someone’s character.
To be honest...Malcom didn't do shit for blacks. Because of King, we won Civil Rights. Because of King, we have black millionaires and billionaires. Because of King, we had a black President. MLK succeeded in the long run. Malcom's ideology failed
Integration depends on too many precarious variables (expanding economy, cooperation and acceptance from the dominant group, adjustments in power relations, etc.) Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X's approach is much more sensible, reasonable, and intelligent. Give me Black Nationalism/Pan-Africanism all day.
@Island Roena no doubt. Garvey influenced many others and is still continuing to influencing many people to this day. He wasn't the father of Pan-Africanism but he definitely took it to another level.
Pan afrcianism has failed or atleast still didn't find success in Africa. Why would it be successful in the usa. What can black nationalists even do in the USA. Form their own country? That would never happen
@@oussematrabelsi9429 I think we need to have a mutual understanding of what Pan-Africanism is first in order to make a judgment call about whether it is a success or failure. My understanding may be different from your's.
@@oussematrabelsi9429 with the right leadership this is possible. The problems we face as Black people around the world are two fold: lack of leadership and lack of education. If we can develop these two areas Pan-Africanism can be a reality.
this is very relevant right now. everyone is saying mlk would be disappointed in the riots in minneapolis but malcolm x had a point too and he would be proud.
Mlk, like ghandi believed that there were situations where non violence was not an option and violent resistance was necessary. Peaceful resistance works only if it is backed up with the possibility of violence(if demands arent met).
Malcolm X would have been incensed with the looting. Seeing young black people steal is not something he ever advocated. The rioting and fighting for freedom however is something that would have made him proud.
Malcolm X became El Hajj Malik Shebazz and left Nation of Islam and tbe Multi-Culturalism he witness while performing Hajj. Martin Luther King hadca Dream! Malcolm El Hajj lived it!
I love Dr. King and Brother Malcolm. Why must our people pick sides when it comes to our leaders, our heroes, our champions? A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. We will be more powerful and more effective when we bring our ideas to the table, discuss our differences and come together on a common ground. How powerful would it have been for Malcolm X and Dr. King to lay aside their differences and join forces?! What we fail to realize is that both of these great men were EVOLVING. They were both growing and their ideas were changing. They were not the same men in their 20's as they were in their 30's. Prior to Dr. King's death he realized that if real change were to take place that it would have to be done economically. He founded the Poor Peoples Campaign. With the idea to fight against economic injustice, fight for fair housing and equal employment opportunities. Malcolm after his exile from the Nation of Islam went on his journey to Mecca. It was a life changing experience for him. He realized that people of all colors were Muslim and that it would take unity to bring about real change all over the world. He founded the Organization of Afro-American Unity. We do ourselves a great disservice of we don't honor and learn from both of these great leaders. While we look at numerous videos keep in mind that they were speaking in a moment in time and they were still growing. We must grow with their ideas and evolve just as they were evolving.
I believe that when it comes to defending freedom and justice, we can learn from both MLK and Malcolm X. Though there are certain aspects in which I prefer King’s philosophy over Malcolm’s, such as civil disobedience over reciprocity, as well as my disagreements with the Nation of Islam, I respect Malcolm’s desire to not back down and was willing to promote the taking up of arms for self defense purposes, and not with the aggressive intentions. Professor is correct in saying Malcolm was very similar to the founding fathers in that very sense. I’ve read more about him recently and I’ve grown to have newfound respect for what he brought to the table for civil rights
Not everything can be settled with peace. There was no protesting for peace to stop WW1, WW2, Vietnam etc. All of those wars had less of a valid reason than black people fighting to live. WW1 was started because one King was murdered. But people think Malcolm X was wrong for no longer turning the other cheek, after 400 years of injustice.
@@SuperMuneera well those conflicts are far less complex than the civil right movement and focused more on territorial supremacy and control of resources but also no one is justifying the blood shed in those conflicts either. The problem with Malcom X is he wasn't looking for peaceful solution he was looking to get even so to speak and had he not be assassinated by the church of Islam and his vision realized it would have lead to more racial strife and possibly apartheid depending how much of his vision cane to fruition. People forget that Malcom was a black supremist meaning he wanted to effectively flip the roles where whites and other minorities are treated as second class citizens and blacks become the ruling class.
@@nemisous83 I totally disagree, he was not a supremacist. It's an false equivalency many people use either by mistake or to rewrite history. Malcolm X didn't beg for freedom, he didn't send little children to march and get attacked by policemen and dogs like MLK did. Malcolm X had a vision where every man had the right to protect himself. Not beg for inclusion, respect or love. Like I said, the two major wars were fought for far less. If anything Malcolm X exemplifies being an American far more than MLK. Who had a more socialist approach than one of self defence.
@@SuperMuneera Malcom X absolutely was a supremist and frequently used terms like "white devil" and various other slurs for white people. saying Malcom X wasnt racist is almost as ridiculous as saying Andrew Jackson didn't hate the Native Americans. both where incredibly prejudice due to their harsh upbringing Malcom X had alot of forward thinking ideas for the black community however Malcom was always about retribution and getting even with the white man not breaking bread and putting aside the past for peace. Well everyone in the MLK rallies wanted to be there no one was forced, however the difference between MLK and Malcom X was MLK action acted on his vision where as Malcom X simply spouted rhetoric and criticized MLK for not being harsh enough on the white man. Malcom X was concerned about purging the black community of white influence which is why he encouraged his followers to accept Islam instead of the white man's religion (Christianity) this even extended to political and economic structure as well embracing Socialism/Communism. MLk was the exact opposite and embraced American traditions because he felt that the African American community was as much American as the white folk.
@@nemisous83 How do you break bread with people who enslaved you for 500 years, barred you from public places, murdered you without punishment? Why didn’t Britain and the US break bread with Nazi Germany? Fighting a war and dragging 90 percent of every nation on earth, by your logic makes them just as bad as the Nazi’s. As for MLK, the reason he was murdered was because he changed his philosophy. He realised integration meant black people would start from the very bottom. “I fear I am integrating my people into a hiring house” we’re his words not long before his death. And that’s exactly what integration meant. Black people had to give away their schools, businesses and start again. Black people per capita are poorer now than before integration. In Malcolm X’s vision it was complete separation by race. Because why force yourself to be with people who despise you. Black people would have had their own nation, own politics and would have generated wealth. And due to their standing globally would have outperformed their white counterparts. That’s why white people didn’t want to separate.
Dr. King & Minister Shabazz were the greatest civil rights leaders we, the Black Community has ever had...although they didn’t always see eye to eye to solve the racial barriers between blacks and whites they still had a deep friendship. These two men will forever live in my heart. All their teachings & philosophies will I practice each day. 💯 I have a dream and I will achieve it by any means necessary ✊🏾

Whilst MLK was fighting for civil rights, MX was fighting for human rights. Remember his speech when he said the whole African-American question would be taken into the UN?
Malcolm was intiligent , he addressed and gave the confidence to black people, and he changed his views from segregation to lets account all oppresserers in UN and self defend for your right

People love to disagree wit Malcolm mainly because of "violence" but forget to acknowledge that the country they live in has bombed more countries in the past 50 years n still has not been touched
Not the last fifty years but throughout American history, if you were to describe America in one word, it would undoubtedly be war. But the Americans do not realize that because except for those indiscriminate armed attacks here and there, they have not yet experienced what it means to bomb or occupy your country. They don't know the real violence their army is doing with their taxes.
@@user-vb4lb8lf5y you are right anerican history is war n for the ones uninformed bout it its either indoctrination ignorance or jus don't care bout it. Either way america will have its time to
Both men were great and right in their respective methods. Ghandi of Indian secured independence from British without violence. US used extreme method to do same. Either method only needed to be acted upon with conviction and I think MLK did that. Non violence is not synonymous to being passive , the bus boycott, the match were active non violent methods.
Gandhi didn't do anything. The British only left because the Nazis had devastated their country during the war and you can't exactly rebuild your country while playing empire. Gandhi was a tool used by the British oppressors to convince the populace of South Asia to embrace the flawed philosophy of non-violence while the British openly continued to use violence. At best he was a useful idiot who was to caught in in bs spirituality and the notion of good vs evil, rather than seeing the world through a lense of reality. Or perhaps the truth was darker and he deliberately did the things he did to make it easier for the British to rule by side lining more direct and at times violent freedom philosophies. Gandhi did say that he believed that the White man was superior to the Indian. Maybe he suffered from stock holm syndrome and decided to aid his oppressors.
Some of you people in these comments are truly disgusting people 🤢. These two men devoted their life and even died for a cause greater than them. Something most of you cannot do. I see people bringing down these two black brothers and putting them against each other even in death. CAUSING MORE DIVISIONS. Instead of being grateful for their sacrifice and trying to maybe follow in their footsteps and do better. No matter who’s perspective you agree with we can all agree that they both had the right idea. And because you don’t agree with some of their opinions doesn’t give you the right to judge them. Check yourself before checking others.
Only part he’s wrong on is the self help about Malcolm. He was okay with aid of other races but didn’t believe in integration until black ppl united as one first.
Malcolm X had an international impact. And put international pressure on the USA. MLK did not have the dame kind of impact, yet we celebrate his efforts more.
I don’t see why A lot of people in this comment section are trying to belittle mlk in favor of Malcolm x or vice versa. I don’t see what we have to decide between the 2, can’t we accept that mlk and Malcolm both took huge strides in civil rights? I understand there’s still progress to be made, but don’t pretend like either of these 2 haven’t changed anything
The Difference ....Molcolm X had the Balls to say I dnt have to beg for Freedom and Respect I will Get it by any means necessary...MLK Come on Lets Get along Now
currently studying for my civil rights gsce exam, and im so grateful for this video and the comments too as both have opened up new vocaulary, new opinions and new sentences that i will defintly use in my exam!! appreciate the educated response from everyone!
Can you do a video on Napoleon?? I’m doing AP Euro and I love your videos so it would be helpful (also, AP Euro 10 week review 6-10, when will they be out???)
Malcom X left "left the Nation of Islam" that had nothing to do with Islam, and learn the true religion of Islam, and preached his solution that the majority is trying to ignore... he said I encourage Americans to study Islam, and he thought that the solution lied there, he saw a practical example in Saudi Arabia, where Muslims with different races and colors are united. Saying he "left the Nation of Islam" without clarify is quite disingenuous in my opinion.
Malcolm never supported integration. What he came to appreciate after the Hajj was that, all White men were not evil after his pilgrimage. He admitted his earlier assertion of 'all White men were evil' as being wrong. In that same interview, he reaffirmed his continuous belief in non-integration.

Most people focus on the pre Hajj, pre suspension from the NOI Malcolm. That Malcolm would preference almost every interview he gave with a “The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches...” So, it was actually another man’s message that made Malcolm look like an angry, incorrigible, reverse racist. Malcolm was way more intelligent, refined, and eloquent than to be put in a box as just some hot-headed firebrand. Not saying this video is communicating that directly, but that is, i’m sure, the takeaway for many. Because that’s just all some can or want to hear. At any rate, I concur with your astute assessment/comparison. I can only imagine if these minds (Malcolm X & MLK), ideas, and philosophies, had merged. I imagine the powers that be of the time realized this...

Malcolm is the wake , the voice ,the revolution , the defender
Your take on Malcolm X is what I been saying for years. Black Americans would be so far right now if we would listen to both of them. However, the sad part is, their voice was silent and there movements was water down.
Agree and look what happened now
I'm English and to be honest I know nothing about the civil rights movement.
MLK yes I've heard off but more through his assassination.
Nothing about their political stand points.
And probably been swayed towards MLK really due to the media.
Both? Just Marcus Garvey, Booker T. Washington, and Malcom X
@@_VISION.
Martin actually began to come around to understanding that same truth. This is why he was ultimately assassinated. and there are facts you can check on that in his interviews from 1967 up until his assassination and in J. Edgar Hoovers recorded accounts of MLK particularly when he was being marked fir assassination for rejecting his "obedience to white liberal doctrine."
Malcolm X wanted oppressed to become independent and have strong mentality ... That's called courage .. bravery whate Malcolm X propagated ..
Most people in the comment section prefer Malcolm instead of MLK. That's a big change from the earlier generation where people looked at MLK, and Malcolm X was not known as he is now. Thanks to the internet and RUclips people have listened to Malcolm X speeches now they know how they were manipulated by the media.
Any intelligent person who has an even moderate grasp of history will realize, even if they don't say it, that Malcolm was probably right. The black man needed to stand up for himself, fight for his dignity by any means necessary and build his own community, separate from that of his oppressor
Facts MLK was obsessed with white wmn n wanted to mingle with them freely. Malcom just wanted us to do our own thing n stop being yes men to white ppl.
@@vanbeet5105 Yes because thatll go down well
@@vanbeet5105 Yes, obviously what Malcolm said was true, however, yt folk of that era are looking for any small thing to use against the civil rights movement. So without MLK a revolution is still impossible.
Malcolm was above his league. Nobody can match him still..
Bull shit. MLK made him look dumb AF
Yes
His teaching was not understood then nor are they understood now . A True Revolutionist.
Let's invoke him in the best way we can and do our way within the context of the modern times. I think we can still do what Malcom X proposed, and through business and entrepreneurship.
Not true today in that nobody can match him. But time will tell.
finally one person who wouldn't misconstrue Malcolm's words and call them violence to belittle his good intent
MLK was appealing to whites and MX was necessary for blacks. MLK fought for inclusivity, while MX fought for black elevation.
MLK was a time killer for both white and black. Spoke with no real effect, sorry to those who love him but that'sthe truth. MX was carrying all blacks on his back alone and he was strong enough so they shot him.
They both played their parts that was needed.
@@AbS-jo9nr Ain't nobody who is smart enough doesn't love malco x
King was also for black elevation. I don't know how many of his books you've read, but in his autobiography and also "Where Do We Go From Here--Chaos Or Community?" he advocates black psychological upliftment. His 1965 speech in Philadelphia and his 1967 "Black and beautiful" speech elevates the black community, too.
@@AbS-jo9nr mlk actually got legislation passed dumbfuck
Malcolm X was far ahead of his time comparison with king is so so low Malcolm was not just ahead of king but was far ahead of is era, white men will always say king because that's the kind of protest they wanted,
👏👏the Las line
The moment when MLK has done more to improve black lives in America than X has done:
Is that a bad thing though?
Martin Luther King had a Dream! Malcolm lived it! He witnesswd it when he went performing Hajj!
Exactly, Mashallah 🤲🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Malcolm X was violent and divisive while MLK was inclusive and will forever be loved.
@@diane5140 without Malcom x I don't think mlk would have gotten as far.
Mlk had a dream, and now he is with god.
@@diane5140really Malcolm x was realistic while Dr King goals was very lofty.
When I talk to people about Malcolm X and do my best to explain and articulate his philosophy and teachings, I get the typical negligent response "Violence is never the answer though" and I continue with, "If you're family is threatened, someone barges in YOUR house, you won't defend by any means necessary?"
Yeah but that completely different than wantonly killing white people to send a message. The whole point of "ballots then bullets" is meant as an ultimatum not an appeal to self preservation. Its this philosophy that lead the black panthers to kill whites and intimidate people at the ballots which is no different than what the Klan did.
So starting a race war would solve it?
They don't like truth. They want to associate him with anger and militancy and violence when he was the exact opposite
@@GODISGREAT_12 You clearly haven't read the “ballot or the bullet” speech.
@@Vince_theStormChaser yea I have
Give me Malcolm X
I'll take Martin Luther King anyday
Malcom x anyday of the week, self defense.
@Thug Rose I agree with integration as well , but only if the law of the land is on your side. Non violent protest to integrate and getting brutalized by police didn't seem like good critical thinking skills to me. Why to patronize other people businesses whom rather discriminate against you? At the end of the day America need to admit what we had was not a civil rights problem, but a human rights problem. Still do. We still have mass poverty among African Americans, more money put towards a military industrial complex and prison then to social reform. America still owe reparations, and it should still be an ongoing conversation. Mlk wanted a check to put towards stimulate the economy , black business ownership, same for Malcolm but he wanted to take it a step further by requesting land.
Paul Lunsford 🤨
Facts peaceful protests change absolutely nothing never have and never will mlk was intelligent but at the end of the day he was someone white people could use and did use malcom ove mlk any day
Malcom was a Human Rights activist by way of education and evolution. He was my hero the only black man I ever looked up to and hoped to learn from, and I did. He taught me man means mind. If you don't mature as you age you will continue to be misled, run a muck, and robbed. And in some cases murdered. Never forget your enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy. Look around.
To be honest? When it's all said and done both are amazing upstanding black icons but I have no idea how anybody went with what Martin was spewing. Give me Malcolm any day
StrawHat Luffy lol but look at what all the peaceful protests around the us did. Got the charges and changes are being worked on as we speak
StrawHat Luffy what I think is that you need both. peaceful protests because if you only have riots then you’ll cause more damage than healing. If you only have peaceful protests, there’s no urgency and the peaceful protesters can be ignored and pushed over.
StrawHat Luffy btw just as a habit, try not to call everyone that disagrees with your opinions a fool. You can debate things without going at someone’s character.
But without Martin we all could not live and work together...
To be honest...Malcom didn't do shit for blacks. Because of King, we won Civil Rights. Because of King, we have black millionaires and billionaires. Because of King, we had a black President. MLK succeeded in the long run. Malcom's ideology failed
Neither one was accepted by the people they both fought against.
That reality is very heavy.
You're right comparing X to our forefathers
goated
Malcolm X is gift from God
100% agree
💯
Facts
more like a gift from allah
If God doesn't exist, then what is Malcolm X?
Integration depends on too many precarious variables (expanding economy, cooperation and acceptance from the dominant group, adjustments in power relations, etc.) Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X's approach is much more sensible, reasonable, and intelligent. Give me Black Nationalism/Pan-Africanism all day.
@Island Roena no doubt. Garvey influenced many others and is still continuing to influencing many people to this day. He wasn't the father of Pan-Africanism but he definitely took it to another level.
Pan afrcianism has failed or atleast still didn't find success in Africa. Why would it be successful in the usa. What can black nationalists even do in the USA. Form their own country? That would never happen
@@oussematrabelsi9429 I think we need to have a mutual understanding of what Pan-Africanism is first in order to make a judgment call about whether it is a success or failure. My understanding may be different from your's.
@@lioneljoseph7360 I believe that pan afrcianism is the union through solidarity of native african people politically, economically and culturally.
@@oussematrabelsi9429 with the right leadership this is possible. The problems we face as Black people around the world are two fold: lack of leadership and lack of education. If we can develop these two areas Pan-Africanism can be a reality.
this is very relevant right now. everyone is saying mlk would be disappointed in the riots in minneapolis but malcolm x had a point too and he would be proud.
X had a point? X had THE point.
Mlk, like ghandi believed that there were situations where non violence was not an option and violent resistance was necessary.
Peaceful resistance works only if it is backed up with the possibility of violence(if demands arent met).
Malcolm X would have been incensed with the looting. Seeing young black people steal is not something he ever advocated.
The rioting and fighting for freedom however is something that would have made him proud.
X would be disappointed as well as he never preached violence or harming someone who didn't harmed u. He preached self defence
Malcolm X became El Hajj Malik Shebazz and left Nation of Islam and tbe Multi-Culturalism he witness while performing Hajj. Martin Luther King hadca Dream! Malcolm El Hajj lived it!
King was not only in favor with sympathetic white folk, but in cooperation with Hispanics, Asians, and First Nations according to his autobiography.
I’m a conservative and I can appreciate Malcolm X
Then you have issues.

Malcom X wasnt bought..he was truth
I love Dr. King and Brother Malcolm. Why must our people pick sides when it comes to our leaders, our heroes, our champions? A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. We will be more powerful and more effective when we bring our ideas to the table, discuss our differences and come together on a common ground.
How powerful would it have been for Malcolm X and Dr. King to lay aside their differences and join forces?! What we fail to realize is that both of these great men were EVOLVING. They were both growing and their ideas were changing. They were not the same men in their 20's as they were in their 30's.
Prior to Dr. King's death he realized that if real change were to take place that it would have to be done economically. He founded the Poor Peoples Campaign. With the idea to fight against economic injustice, fight for fair housing and equal employment opportunities. Malcolm after his exile from the Nation of Islam went on his journey to Mecca. It was a life changing experience for him. He realized that people of all colors were Muslim and that it would take unity to bring about real change all over the world. He founded the Organization of Afro-American Unity.
We do ourselves a great disservice of we don't honor and learn from both of these great leaders. While we look at numerous videos keep in mind that they were speaking in a moment in time and they were still growing. We must grow with their ideas and evolve just as they were evolving.
probably the best comment on this video, god bless
Best comment here.
This is the best comment on this post ever! Thank You so much!
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 my people
You know why the whites don't like Malcolm X because he doesn't speak to them with respect we love you Malcom X forever❤️❤️🔥
Mr. Luther King was Professor X and Malcolm X was Magneto. Both stood for there own community, just in different ways.
This is one of my favorite analogy’s x men rlly is a clever way of talking about civil rights god bless Stan lee and dr king
Malcom x wasn’t a supervillain he was advocating we take over the world he was asking for defense
I believe that when it comes to defending freedom and justice, we can learn from both MLK and Malcolm X. Though there are certain aspects in which I prefer King’s philosophy over Malcolm’s, such as civil disobedience over reciprocity, as well as my disagreements with the Nation of Islam, I respect Malcolm’s desire to not back down and was willing to promote the taking up of arms for self defense purposes, and not with the aggressive intentions. Professor is correct in saying Malcolm was very similar to the founding fathers in that very sense. I’ve read more about him recently and I’ve grown to have newfound respect for what he brought to the table for civil rights
Not everything can be settled with peace. There was no protesting for peace to stop WW1, WW2, Vietnam etc.
All of those wars had less of a valid reason than black people fighting to live. WW1 was started because one King was murdered. But people think Malcolm X was wrong for no longer turning the other cheek, after 400 years of injustice.
@@SuperMuneera well those conflicts are far less complex than the civil right movement and focused more on territorial supremacy and control of resources but also no one is justifying the blood shed in those conflicts either. The problem with Malcom X is he wasn't looking for peaceful solution he was looking to get even so to speak and had he not be assassinated by the church of Islam and his vision realized it would have lead to more racial strife and possibly apartheid depending how much of his vision cane to fruition. People forget that Malcom was a black supremist meaning he wanted to effectively flip the roles where whites and other minorities are treated as second class citizens and blacks become the ruling class.
@@nemisous83 I totally disagree, he was not a supremacist. It's an false equivalency many people use either by mistake or to rewrite history.
Malcolm X didn't beg for freedom, he didn't send little children to march and get attacked by policemen and dogs like MLK did.
Malcolm X had a vision where every man had the right to protect himself. Not beg for inclusion, respect or love.
Like I said, the two major wars were fought for far less. If anything Malcolm X exemplifies being an American far more than MLK. Who had a more socialist approach than one of self defence.
@@SuperMuneera Malcom X absolutely was a supremist and frequently used terms like "white devil" and various other slurs for white people. saying Malcom X wasnt racist is almost as ridiculous as saying Andrew Jackson didn't hate the Native Americans. both where incredibly prejudice due to their harsh upbringing
Malcom X had alot of forward thinking ideas for the black community however Malcom was always about retribution and getting even with the white man not breaking bread and putting aside the past for peace.
Well everyone in the MLK rallies wanted to be there no one was forced, however the difference between MLK and Malcom X was MLK action acted on his vision where as Malcom X simply spouted rhetoric and criticized MLK for not being harsh enough on the white man.
Malcom X was concerned about purging the black community of white influence which is why he encouraged his followers to accept Islam instead of the white man's religion (Christianity) this even extended to political and economic structure as well embracing Socialism/Communism. MLk was the exact opposite and embraced American traditions because he felt that the African American community was as much American as the white folk.
@@nemisous83 How do you break bread with people who enslaved you for 500 years, barred you from public places, murdered you without punishment?
Why didn’t Britain and the US break bread with Nazi Germany? Fighting a war and dragging 90 percent of every nation on earth, by your logic makes them just as bad as the Nazi’s.
As for MLK, the reason he was murdered was because he changed his philosophy. He realised integration meant black people would start from the very bottom. “I fear I am integrating my people into a hiring house” we’re his words not long before his death.
And that’s exactly what integration meant. Black people had to give away their schools, businesses and start again. Black people per capita are poorer now than before integration.
In Malcolm X’s vision it was complete separation by race. Because why force yourself to be with people who despise you. Black people would have had their own nation, own politics and would have generated wealth. And due to their standing globally would have outperformed their white counterparts. That’s why white people didn’t want to separate.
Malcolm x name is hot and rare.
X all the way.
Malcolm x knew to deal with the devils
Malcolm X, true champion
you really compared them fairly. thank you
Dr. King & Minister Shabazz were the greatest civil rights leaders we, the Black Community has ever had...although they didn’t always see eye to eye to solve the racial barriers between blacks and whites they still had a deep friendship. These two men will forever live in my heart. All their teachings & philosophies will I practice each day. 💯 I have a dream and I will achieve it by any means necessary ✊🏾
Marcus Garvey
God bless you. This is exactly what my next American Civ paper is on. You’re my hero 🤯🤯
Malcom x was more intelligent way beyond than Luther king
Ok, you're wrong. But ok.
Also, when combining non-violence and reciprocity, you get a diversity of tactics and strategy!
haha i love this "black coffee" analogy
MLK = what the oppressors want to hear
MALCOLM =What the oppressed want to hear
Almost all the comments I have read are in favor of MALCOLM X.
As always you did a great job Mr. Richey..... I'm not a student of history in college but I am 1 in the since I study history on my own time.

I don't do conspiracy theories but both of these civil rights activists being assassinated at 39 really made me wonder.
Whilst MLK was fighting for civil rights, MX was fighting for human rights. Remember his speech when he said the whole African-American question would be taken into the UN?
Malcolm was intiligent , he addressed and gave the confidence to black people, and he changed his views from segregation to lets account all oppresserers in UN and self defend for your right
WOW! Concise, comprehensive, to the point and as unbiased as it gets. Love the content. Definitely following for more. Thanks!
This helped a lot, thank you so much📚
Malcolm X didn't teach violence he taught self defense
I love Baba MX so much for twenty six years because he made me the man that am and that’s with self.
Baba MX principles
1. Self consciously
2. Self dependency
3. Self defiantly
4. Self righteously
Black ppl would be so much further if we looked at Malcolm more than MLK. Separate but equal
I'm always a X fan
man actually knows everything he's talking about and bias is not motivating what he's saying so props to him, good job on this, you have my respect :)
Malcolm X fighting for Human Rights that was the difference
I prefer Malcom X way
Fair and objective comparison and excellent short analysis. Very helpful for general understanding and academic purpose
I think they should teach about Malcolm X
Thank you for helping me with this knowledge.
People love to disagree wit Malcolm mainly because of "violence" but forget to acknowledge that the country they live in has bombed more countries in the past 50 years n still has not been touched
Not the last fifty years but throughout American history, if you were to describe America in one word, it would undoubtedly be war. But the Americans do not realize that because except for those indiscriminate armed attacks here and there, they have not yet experienced what it means to bomb or occupy your country. They don't know the real violence their army is doing with their taxes.
@@user-vb4lb8lf5y you are right anerican history is war n for the ones uninformed bout it its either indoctrination ignorance or jus don't care bout it. Either way america will have its time to
Thank you! This helped so much for my Malcolm X project!
I'm french and I understand everything, for my homerworks we have to listen to your video and take notes thank you !
Both men were great and right in their respective methods. Ghandi of Indian secured independence from British without violence. US used extreme method to do same. Either method only needed to be acted upon with conviction and I think MLK did that. Non violence is not synonymous to being passive , the bus boycott, the match were active non violent methods.
Gandhi didn't do anything. The British only left because the Nazis had devastated their country during the war and you can't exactly rebuild your country while playing empire.
Gandhi was a tool used by the British oppressors to convince the populace of South Asia to embrace the flawed philosophy of non-violence while the British openly continued to use violence. At best he was a useful idiot who was to caught in in bs spirituality and the notion of good vs evil, rather than seeing the world through a lense of reality. Or perhaps the truth was darker and he deliberately did the things he did to make it easier for the British to rule by side lining more direct and at times violent freedom philosophies. Gandhi did say that he believed that the White man was superior to the Indian. Maybe he suffered from stock holm syndrome and decided to aid his oppressors.
India got independence due to actual nationalists like Subhash Chandra Bose.
Some of you people in these comments are truly disgusting people 🤢. These two men devoted their life and even died for a cause greater than them. Something most of you cannot do. I see people bringing down these two black brothers and putting them against each other even in death. CAUSING MORE DIVISIONS. Instead of being grateful for their sacrifice and trying to maybe follow in their footsteps and do better. No matter who’s perspective you agree with we can all agree that they both had the right idea. And because you don’t agree with some of their opinions doesn’t give you the right to judge them. Check yourself before checking others.
Trying to find someone who asked.
Malcolm X and the MLK towards the end of his life. Compare those two.
I didn't realize Theo Von taught history in his spare time.
Gang gang.
Only part he’s wrong on is the self help about Malcolm. He was okay with aid of other races but didn’t believe in integration until black ppl united as one first.
Can I please get a blessing from the god of AP Euro for the test in May so I can get a 5? Please?
I’am not Tom but I wish you luck.
Yo I been watching all these vid and Malcom getting more love I respect everybody
Malcolm X had an international impact. And put international pressure on the USA. MLK did not have the dame kind of impact, yet we celebrate his efforts more.
Is that so…….. Think again
I don’t see why A lot of people in this comment section are trying to belittle mlk in favor of Malcolm x or vice versa. I don’t see what we have to decide between the 2, can’t we accept that mlk and Malcolm both took huge strides in civil rights? I understand there’s still progress to be made, but don’t pretend like either of these 2 haven’t changed anything
People are very stupid, they think that they can rank these two giants of the History.
I love MX..he's tactful and his diplomacy.
If we use X-Men as an analogy. MLK = Professor X and Malcom X = Magneto
I like both
I love both
I respect both
I didn't see anything on the civil Rights movement on last year's exam.
This would not surprise Malcolm X
Should see mlk last speeches and interviews. He wanted us to spend billions to fix poverty and wanted to stop the military industrial complex.
Thanks for the very accessible and helpful comparison.
However, that these two are complimentary is far from clear.
Let's us not compare both stand for their people
The Difference ....Molcolm X had the Balls to say I dnt have to beg for Freedom and Respect I will Get it by any means necessary...MLK Come on Lets Get along Now
Right
And meanwhile he did nothing....
currently studying for my civil rights gsce exam, and im so grateful for this video and the comments too as both have opened up new vocaulary, new opinions and new sentences that i will defintly use in my exam!!
appreciate the educated response from everyone!
If Martin and malcombe were alive today, the life for black people would be completely different in the most postive!
I choose the quality of Malcom X on a matter of addressing
The question is who took the picture of malcolm x by the window?
Great question😂
Malcolm X message is far more beter than dr Marin Luther King Jr. Malcolm x is the Champ.
Ok, you're wrong.
I like looking up to these fellas. Someday I'm gonna be the first Cree prime minister and show the world real change
Can you do a video on Napoleon?? I’m doing AP Euro and I love your videos so it would be helpful (also, AP Euro 10 week review 6-10, when will they be out???)
i think they both had a great deal of addressing inequality on race at a domestic level
Malcom X left "left the Nation of Islam" that had nothing to do with Islam, and learn the true religion of Islam, and preached his solution that the majority is trying to ignore... he said I encourage Americans to study Islam, and he thought that the solution lied there, he saw a practical example in Saudi Arabia, where Muslims with different races and colors are united.
Saying he "left the Nation of Islam" without clarify is quite disingenuous in my opinion.
An honest explanation to the contrasting approached by the two most iconic civil rights leaders in American history.
malcom x later would support integtation after allah open his eyes during the hajj
Malcolm never supported integration. What he came to appreciate after the Hajj was that, all White men were not evil after his pilgrimage. He admitted his earlier assertion of 'all White men were evil' as being wrong. In that same interview, he reaffirmed his continuous belief in non-integration.
Loved this video. Your analysis of these two men was objective, rational and purely academic (no personal feelings added). Subbed :)

Mx is the best
Dude my respects for a white guy to know more history than those who think they know
Most people focus on the pre Hajj, pre suspension from the NOI Malcolm. That Malcolm would preference almost every interview he gave with a “The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches...” So, it was actually another man’s message that made Malcolm look like an angry, incorrigible, reverse racist. Malcolm was way more intelligent, refined, and eloquent than to be put in a box as just some hot-headed firebrand.
Not saying this video is communicating that directly, but that is, i’m sure, the takeaway for many. Because that’s just all some can or want to hear.
At any rate, I concur with your astute assessment/comparison.
I can only imagine if these minds (Malcolm X & MLK), ideas, and philosophies, had merged. I imagine the powers that be of the time realized this...
