It’s amazing how well this Malcolm X clip ages

I say this as gently as possible.

I wonder if Dr King wasn't the first person used to push DESIGNED societal change?  Let me be clear.  If you look at the civil rights movement, you'll see that change was coming.  Dr King was able to personalize it, put a face on it and move it forward more quickly.

I believe his cause was just.  I believe it was true and necessary.

But I wonder if he wasn't being pushed into the leadership role by individuals behind the scenes.

There were many individuals with as storied a past, as eloquent and suffered greater oppression/physical violence that would have made fine leaders of the movement.

But back on task.

Malcolm X was a deep thinker.  His thinking evolved and I think his views need to be more closely examined in light of current events.
