Referring to the "Martin Luther King vs. Malcolm X Debate," what 3 things does Malcolm X charge Martin Luther King with in terms of harming/hurting the movement? Do you agree with him? Why or why not?

Answer/Explanation:

Malcolm X and Martin Luther King are two great and respected American Civil Rights Movement leaders who fought for racial equality and freedom of the Black Americans, though with different strategies.

Malcolm X whose name is El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz was an American Muslim and Human Right Activist in the 1960s who lead the civil rights movement for racial equality, black supremacy, and desegregation of the Black Muslim community, otherwise known as the Nation of Islam. He emphasized the use of force, violence, and self-defense in achieving these goals.

On the other hand, Martin Luther King was also an American human rights activist who fought for black freedom and desegregation. However, he adopted a non-violent approach is pursuing his goals. He believed that racial equality could be achieved through racial integration, passive resistance, and other non-violent means.

Malcolm X publicly criticized Martin Luther King's approach to black supremacy which emphasized the use of non-violent means like protest and marched in achieving racial equality and black empowerment. Thus, Malcolm X charged Martin Luther King in terms of harming/hurting the Black Civil Right Movement as follows:

1. Malcolm X charged Martin Luther King for being too calm in the face of abuse and maltreatment from the Whites, by him teaching his followers to be nonviolent in their demand for freedom from their white oppressors. He challenged Martin Luther's non-violent approach. Malcolm X believed in force, and the need for self-defense against the Whites, but Martin Luther preached against the use of force.

2. Malcolm X also accused Martin Luther King of bowing to the Whites and subjugating the black community to the culture of their oppressor. He also alleged that Martin Luther King was being paid by the oppressive whites to teach his followers to be defenseless in the face of the "world most brutal beasts" - America's White man.

3. In line with the foregoing, Malcolm X also accused Martin Luther King of teaching the Black community to love their killers, that is, the Whites.
