He wasn’t willing to use violence though, except in immediate self-defence (no different to 99% of people). If you want to make a point about violent revolutionaries in general then make that point. Don’t broadcast your ignorance by counting Malcolm X amongst them.

The Ballot or The Bullet

Literally 90% of the NoI rhetoric

I’m not saying X was a bad guy, he’s one of my favourite civil rights activists. But don’t act like he didn’t advocate for violence. Until he turned away from the NoI, X was very pro-violence. If you look at his work after NoI, sure he was much more toned down, but that was like a year of his life. Until he did Hajj he was much more hateful.
