The Philosophies Of Malcolm X And Malcom X

Martin Luther King and Malcom X, both prominent figures in the Civil Rights movement, had vastly different views on segregation and violence. The first time these two met was at the U.S. Capitol in 1964 to watch the Senate debate on a Civil Rights bill. Of the two, Martin Luther king had the better philosophy for America in the 1960’s because of his views on Integration, economics, and anti-violence.

Malcolm X, was a civil rights activist, who convinced people that it was inalienable that they control their own destiny. In order to control my own destiny, I fight for success by any means necessary. Success will stimulate me to fight the challenges throughout life and push me to become successful. However, throughout life I often get caught trying to escape failure by avoiding it. During Malcolm’s time, many people were eager, desirous, and ambitious when it came to their rights. This describes one's longing for a goal and in order to be successful you have to achieve your goals. Therefore, I use success to help me achieve those goals by any means necessary.

Martin Luther King Jr and Malcolm X were very huge leading figures during the Civil Rights movement. Though they had many differences, they had some similarities. Both men’s fathers were preachers and both men were religious preachers themselves. Dr. King and Malcolm X were around the same age and they were both assassinated. Coincidentally, both men had the same number of children and eventually they had the same ideologies for the Civil Rights Movement. However, Dr. King and Malcolm X were different in ways such as Malcolm X wanted black supremacy and Dr. King wanted equality, Malcolm X saw violence as an option to achieve his goals if peace did not work and Dr. King believed in complete nonviolence, and Malcolm X

When Malcolm X refers to freedom in the final sentence, he is referring to being at liberty. He is saying that he is no longer constrained by his lack of education and his inability to read. Malcolm X carefully studied the dictionary to solve the problem of his own illiteracy. Having risen from a world of thieving, pimping, and drug pushing to become one of the most articulate African Americans. What an enormous frustration he must have felt writing numerous letters that fell on deaf ears. Knowing that he had something to say but not being able to convey it in letters. According to a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Education and the National Institute of Literacy, thirty-two million adults in the U.S. cannot read. That is fourteen percent of the Population. These numbers are astonishing! Furthermore, nineteen percent of high school graduates cannot read. There are many benefits that come with being able to read and write. Some of these include economic security, access to health care, and the ability to actively participate in public life. Malcolm X went behind bars partially because of negative educational opportunities. He ends up finding freedom when he learns of the connections between culture and education that society has denied him. He did this by copying and studying the pages of the dictionary, page by page. He would also stay up at night reading, and was careful to make sure that the guards at the prison did

His views on black rights often clashed with other Black rights activist such as Martin Luther King Jr. Martin Luther King was focused on equality and finding the goodness of man and the hope that we could live equally. Malcom’s views sometimes took on an aggressive tone. Understandably so, giving his background. All Malcom knew of race, was the anger and hatred that it brought with it. Which made him at first, have the notion of not wanting anything to do with White America. Even going as far as doing anything necessary to complete the separation from them. In order to have a separate but equal Black

They had different views but they had a few similarities. One of those being the fact that they both were assassinated because they wanted equal rights. Proving that no matter what happens they will not let go of what's correct. Another similarity is how they both had the same objective, everyone to be treated equally no matter what they look like. They both worked hard and stayed strong even after being punished for speaking their truth. In "Malcom X: By Any Means Necessary" ,a biography about Malcom X, the author says,"And he was a worker. He organized and preached." And in "Encounter with Martin Luther King

Malcolm states, I can feel him combing, straight back, first the big big comb, then the fine-tooth one. Malcolm can feel the barber combing his head, and his sense of touch tells him how big the comb is, depending on how it feels.It’s evident that the sense of touch does let you know what kind of object is touching you because Malcolm knew what two objects touched him

Throughout history, different people in society have viewed Malcolm X in different lights. To some, Malcolm X is the shining light that spoke to a population that was in need of wisdom and help. However, other people saw Malcolm X as an threat to society and the pillars that were built to keep everybody safe. In the end, a person would have to be blind if they didn’t recognize the impact of Malcolm X character in the Civil Rights Era. Whether you saw him as a positive of the negative aspect, Malcolm X was a powerful figure of the era. Therefore, we most praise the power and strength of a Malcolm X figure in society. Malcolm X displayed the moral authority so great that it continues to attract people to his ideology in recent times. Malcolm displayed a charismatic quality: he fixed his mind and sight of the racial goals to be obtained and pursued them with an unvarying, uncompromising attitude. In the light of all of these realities and difficulties of the cinema representing a mans life that has been plagued with myths and romance, Spike Lee’s Malcolm X serves as a inspirational achievement. Lee’s Malcolm X serve as a richly textured and relevant nuance of the life and legacy of Malcolm X and the times of American paradox: a racist whose fame has been shaped to display his belated universal appeal.

During the civil rights movement, the people (African American) and theirs leaders use different methods or approaches to achieve their goal, but I will focus on DR Martin Luther King JR and Malcolm X philosophies towards the “role of violence”. DR King and Malcolm X are two black men living in America when black people are treated and considered inferior human race. They are actually second class citizens in their own country. Although Dr King and Malcolm X goals are the same, but their method or approach towards achieving it are drastically different. Dr King believed that to work against injustice, one must develop a nonviolent frame of mind to achieve that because differences cannot be settled through violence. I think that

Malcolm X first in incident with racism happened at an early age, his house was broken into by Ku Klux Klan members. Who were looking for his father Earl Little because he works for the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), that supports black Americans returning to Africa. Malcolm would occasionally attending the UNIA meetings with his father learning that life is stacked against blacks. Throughout his life Malcolm goes through four transformations from the streets, jail, muslim and trip to mecca.

“The future belongs to those who prepare for it today”, Malcolm X once said. Malcolm X was an American civil rights activist, who was born on May 19th, 1925. In 1946, Malcom X was convicted of burglary and sentenced to prison. In Prison he began to read books, and the dictionary to educate himself. From there he had gained his famous name

The MLK one was basically saying violence is never the answer, and there is always a way around using violence. While the Malcom X one summarized was saying violence used as self-defense was intelligent. So, both men fought for the same cause, against racism, but both men had different views on violence. In an article about Michael Brown, or better known as the Ferguson case here is what was said, “The incident sparked protests and acts of vandalism in Ferguson as well as widespread calls for an investigation into the incident” In Ferguson they seemed to be on the same page as Malcom X, by using self-defense as a way to protest.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s method of tackling the civil rights pandemic of racism, consisted of sit-ins, boycotts, and marches all forms of peaceful resistance. Although Malcom X agreed with King’s beliefs regarding racism the way Malcom X attempted to get his point across was violent inciting African- Americans to fight back with their first rather than their words. History today remembers kindly the impact of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr’s approach to achieve justice that brought about true change in the free

Malcolm X, over the years, was an interesting man, in the terms of his beliefs during the civil rights movements. He believed that black Americans should take matters into their own hands. He changed his views within the first few months of 1964 when he went to Mecca for a pilgrimage. But unlike Malcolm X, Martin Luther was a Baptist -like his father- and believed that desegregation can occur by a non-violent protest and marches during the civil rights movements. Not only did he believed that he also believed that with the combined efforts of blacks and whites desegregation is possible. Within their speeches or written ones, they are similar in context and techniques as well. The contexts of "Letter to Mecca," by Malcolm X and a speech by Martin Luther, "I have a Dream," are similar and different to what they talk about of the solutions and the overall issue. As for techniques, they used the same and even different one from one another.
