Topic	Seems like Malcom X gets swept to the side, why don't we celebrate him more?

Malcom X changing his tune in the last chunk of his life doesn't change what he believed and taught for the vast majority of his life. It seems that you're clinging to his last moments way too much. No, i agreed that he was wrong but im saying that has was a reformed man. The reason that he isnt as revered as MLK is BECAUSE of those teachings that he did. I'm saying that because he was able to reform and admit he was wrong about whites after his life of hardship and oppression from whites during the civil rights movement is a great thing. Richard Spencer both preached hateful messages, i have not disagreed with you on that. However the context in which those ideologies came about are very different. Also if Richard Spencer were to change and help the people he is currently trying to disenfranchise now then i would have a great deal of respect for those actions. However he isn't currently trying to do that. The context is irrelevant because we see that the context did not necessarily create the hateful views or justify them in any way. MLK was the product of the same context yet he was genuinely a great and powerful human being. Did Malcom X try to help white people after he recanted? Did he try to fix the rhetoric he spread around to millions of people in his community? --- Humans are aliens too dumbass - clearaflagrantj <cite>Transcendentia posted [p:884262286] in Seems like...
