Who had more of an Impact on the Landscape of American Culture: Martin Luther King or Malcolm X?

My personal vote goes to MLK. That being said, i think Malcolm woke up to the real threat, the democrat party. i don't blame Malcolm's dislike for white people due to the murder of his father by a white democrat.

In June 1964 Malcolm founded the Organization of Afro-American Unity, which advocated black identity and held that racism, not the white race, was the greatest foe of the African American. Malcolm’s new movement steadily gained followers, and his more moderate philosophy became increasingly influential in the civil rights movement, especially among the leaders of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee.

Malcolm's assassination by a member of the nation of islam who were democrat party supporters who advocated segregation should be a wake up to what the d party really stands for. The dixiecrats supported the nation of islam's call for separation, because their end game was and always has been segregation. Look at the BLM, petitioning for white free zones at schools now. Elijah Muhammad and the dixiecrats are jumping with joy.

The real problem with the Rs outside of the RINO establishment isn't race, it's message optics. They just cannot articulate the message started by the Rs during the Emancipation; freedom.

For positive impact - King hands down.

I have to say Dr. King. I fear that Malcolm's approach borders on terrorism, however arming those who are victimized is a good approach. Violence is a very dangerous road, that you can't come back from. I wish Dr. King had been around longer.
