Compare the civil rights approach by the incredible Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, Rosa Parks, et al.
I often wonder how life for black Americans and also blacks worldwide would have been today had MLK and Medgar Evers had lived to this day.
They gave their lives for civil liberties and it became hi-jacked by those who wanted to take the aggressive approach.
Sadly far too many black people in the USA and UK live a highly aggressive and violent lifestyle.
There are many more reasons than simply that, but Malcolm X was a violent agitator who disliked white people.
My only reason for mentioning him was that even someone like him was calling blacks "coloured" back in the sixties.
