Have you ever thought about what the future of the U.S. would be without Malcolm X in the Civil Rights Movement? Malcolm X was one of the main activists in the Civil Rights Movement. He helped shape the U.S. into what it is today. Who had the best philosophy, Malcolm X or Martin Luther King Jr.? Malcolm X was a humongous factor in the Civil Rights Movement who believed in separatism and perceived reality as it actually was. MLK was also a giant factor in the Civil Rights Movement, but he believed in blacks and whites joining together and had dreams about how the future might be. In my opinion, Malcolm X had the better philosophy for the south in the 1900’s. My three reasons are since he was a realist, a separatist, and an activist.
There are some important postcolonial terms shows Lawrence Hill’s “Black + White… equals black”. They are race, identity and third space. To begin with, in society that back to 1950s-1960s people are discrimination black people’s race. To illustrate, author tell us in people’s mind being black is not a good thing in the society: “If you’re white/ You’re all right/ If you’re brown/ Stick around/ If you’re black/ Stay back” (Hill 16). Race is people who has different or similar characteristics. The quotation is imply racial discrimination. It represent the issue of racism in 1950s-1960s society.

If you stop and sit on the curb, a police officer will pass and probably ask you what you’re doing. I have heard none of the Negroes speak of police harassment, but have warned me that any time the police see a Negro idling, especially one they do not recognize, they will surely question him.(pg.43)
However, towards the end of the book we are shown the real reason why Will kept the big secret behind closed doors. This was that Will’s father was caught sleeping with his current girlfriend at the time. Furthermore, another secret was that Will was kicked out of school for getting in a fight with someone who showed video of the two together. He just couldn’t handle the negative impacts from the people around him so he’d been living elsewhere since it occurred. From this, it made me feel sorry for Will as he had a horrible experience and that if I had experienced myself I feel would come to the same conclusion, in which gave me a further connection with him.
Will sees himself as a “southie”, a loser. To maintain congruence between his self-view and his experiences his acts out. He starts fights and stays in trouble. He doesn't seek anything better for himself.

Fredrick Douglas wrote and presented his What the Black Man Wants speech during the post civil war time period to demonstrate his straightforward views on the fact that even though the black race had just acquired freedom, they remained without equality and civil rights which gave their current freedom no meaning. Throughout his entire speech, Douglas rules over his audience with his parallel and emotional diction choice along with his assertive tone shifting towards anger and the answering of his own questions multiple times to emphasize his seriousness.
Will is arrested, and during his arrest hits a cop, which seems to guarantee that he will be facing jail time.
Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X had a common purpose for African Americans; justice and equality. Illustrated through their speeches, Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have a Dream” and Malcolm X’s “Talk to Young African Americans”, the two did not share techniques or ideas. Yet both men had the support of millions and millions of people.
All through America history there have been racial pressures. Malcolm X 's "The Black Revolution" emphasizes a greater amount of the Civil Rights Movement where blacks requested admiration and flexibility from the whites. It was a going stone for the American encounters today; a general public that is made out of flexibility and equivalent rights for everybody. Malcolm X was persuading in light of the fact that he made a decent utilization of talk procedures. Malcolm X used more direct and aggressive tone in his speech. His primary center in the discourse was to focus on his gathering of people 's feelings on the grounds that he realized that once he could get to their feelings, they would be more open to his thoughts Malcolm X effectively used pathos, agitation and a method of propaganda to spread his message across his audiences.

Will is probably his biggest weakness - the moment he laid eyes on the other man he was lost. He doesn't understand what he feels and it bothers him, but he can't seem to get enough of the other man. The last time he felt any sort of connection with anyone was his sister, so he's reluctant to open himself up, but at the same time craves the contact and understanding. It's entirely frustrating to
