Malcolm X had both a positive and a negative effect on society. Positively, he inspired many African-Americans to fight racism proactively. He offered an alternative to Martin Luther King's message of non-violence and pacifism. Many people think that Malcolm X promoted violence and this was not the case. More than anything, he was a proponent of self-defense. Negatively he has been portrayed as violent and racist. Since he did not preach non-violence, he was often seen as Martin Luther King's opposition; he was seen as a pro-violent person instead of a teacher of self-defense. To this day, he is portrayed as a hate-monger and has not enjoyed the popularity of many of his civil-rights contemporaries.
