X is known

Malcolm X is known throughout the entire world and I think that everybody knows his story and his teachings.  Even though X is known throughout the world, people still favor Martin Luther King.  The reason why I believe that Martins teachings are implemented more that Malcolm simply because Martin was more peaceful than Malcolm.  Martin believe more of a “let’s wait and see if the white man will change their ways” type of attitude, hence his famous “Letters from Birmingham Jail.”  Martin thought that whites knew that they were doing wrong but eventually they’ll realize that they were in the wrong and they’ll finally come to peace with blacks.  This indeed wasn’t the case but Martin was at a standstill.  Malcolm, on the other hand had a view that if the white man wasn’t going to give it to him, he would take it.  He didn’t wait for anybody to give him stuff and he didn’t act for favoritism.  He wanted everything allocated fair and square.  In the speech, “Ballot or the Bullet, “Malcolm describes how if the white man can’t treat the black man equally, he wants to disassociate the black race with the white race and start their own community.  Idk, I just think that the media would rather respect a black man who doesn’t fight back in opposed to a black man who fights.
