If Martin and the status quo were the only two option, MLK Day wouldn't be a holiday because he wouldn't have accomplished shit.

The reason Martin made gains in civil rights, was the alternative was Malcolm and the Panthers using all those guns they kept waving around.

The revisionist history that they opposed each other is based off a Play oy interview MLK did where they swapped his answer for a question about The Nation of Islam to a question about Malcolm X and use of violence.

I’m not sure if my comment somehow implied I thought that but I am aware that they weren’t adversaries. I also understand some people like to use the “just be like MLK” line to keep people in line and what not. I can see how my original comment can be easily perceived poorly though
