Malcolm X

In the pieces by Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. they both discussed their views on whites. Their views on whites were very different from each other because Malcolm X was more violent, while Martin Luther King Jr. was calm. Malcolm X didn't agree with whites at all he believed that they were all evil and had absolutely no good in them. He thought that the whites were all out to get the Blacks. Martin Luther King Jr. was pretty much the exact opposite from Malcolm X because all Martin Luther King wanted was to have equal and fair rights for everyone. He didn't believe that whites were horrible people and that Blacks should have more rights that whites. All Martin Luther King wanted was for everyone to work together and become a big society that can get along. He believed in this way because he found it to be the right thing to do and if blacks and whites constantly fought then it wouldn't solve anything. This is where Malcolm X becomes very different because Malcolm X didn’t believe in equal rights or working together. He focused more on describing both parties and saying what he thought about them. All this did was cause conflict between the two races and didn't really accomplish much. This is why I believe Martin Luther King Jr. approach is a lot more affective. If I had to choose one thing that stood out the most to me it would just be the major difference between the two. Both are really intelligent and know a lot about their race, but their ideas and motives are completely different
