Why doesn't Malcolm X and BPP get respect like MLK?
I felt that Malcolm and the BBP(Black Panther Party)did more for Black people because tey actually talked abotu Black pride and enpowerment. King, was more about unity with all races. Which is fine and cool, but in the 1950s and 60s Black people need to have there own things and community before uniting and intergrated with the whites. My grandfather was a Black Panther(He wasn't a good one) and I show all my respect to them. They weren't afraid of anyone and they helped Black people stand up and be more ertive. It gets on my nerves when a lot of people compare them to the KK because thats absurd. The KKK is a terriost organization established on hatred. The BPP was built on empowerment of Blacks, poor whites, and Latinos. The Opressed. They did a lot for my parents when they were growing up in the 50s and 60s.Without their help my father would have never gotten lunch or breakfast at school.....I wish I could start a neo-BPP.
