Malcolm vs Martin
“The white man pays...subsidizes Reverend Martin Luther King so that [he] can teach the negroes to be defenseless. That's what you mean by ‘non-violent,’ to be defenseless, to be defenseless against one of the most cruel beasts that have ever taken people into captivity. That's the American white man.” -Malcolm X
Phillip and Taelor discuss Malcolm’s harsh criticism of Dr. King’s philosophy of nonviolence. Where was Malcolm right (or fair) in his criticisms? What role did region and context play in these comments? We also discuss how Malcolm and Martin's perspectives about each other's philosophy would evolve overtime.
