Malcolm X is often characterized as a controversial figure due to his advocacy for self-defense and his willingness to confront systemic racism. While he initially supported the idea of armed self-defense for African Americans, he later emphasized the importance of human rights and dialogue. His approach evolved over time, particularly after his pilgrimage to Mecca, where he began to advocate for a more inclusive strategy for achieving racial equality. Overall, while he did endorse self-defense, labeling him solely as "violent" overlooks the complexity of his beliefs and the context of his activism.
