Why do you think Malcolm X believed in Violent protest?
Violent v Non- Violent Protest
In this essay, I will talk about comparing Violent and non- violent protests and which is better to start a protest and how it affects people and if it's worth starting one.
People usually protest because they think it's not fair on them or anyone else or they could just simply protest because they don't like the change or the new thing. For example the 2011 London riots which broke out because the death of Mark Duggan who was shot dead by police, this started out as a peaceful protest then suddenly everyone joined in and it became a very violent protest on the London streets.
Other protesters like Gandhi or Martin Luther King protested about that they would like to make everybody equal and stop racism in a nonviolent way
The main characteristics of non- violent protests are like Gandhi and Martin Luther King who believed that the whole world should be equal and there was no racism to black or white or just because there religions or where they came from. They both didn't protest with any violence they just wanted everyone to be treated fairly and they wouldn't stop until they get it right.
The main different between the 2 forms of protests are that violent protests always lead to fights/battles with injury's or maybe even deaths, and non- violent protests are really just like a group of people with posters or just trying to get people to listen to them with no violence For example Gandhi and Martin Luther King who made a peaceful protest about how they wanted everyone to be equal and be treated the same.
The main advantages of violent protests are that you could make someone change their minds by threatening to do something to them like hurt them or something but on the other hand the disadvantages of violent protest are that there is mostly someone or something gets hurt, damaged or even killed. This could lead to war or a massive battle that could hurt a lot of people because of 1 little thing that could have been sorted out in a peaceful way.
The main advantages of non- violent protest are that no one gets hurt or killed and that no one is going to be really affected by the protest which means peace to everyone involved. On the other hand the disadvantages of non- violent protests are that sometimes they might not listen to you as all what you are doing is just waiting outside or putting up posters and banners or just getting followers to try to get people's attention.
A person may resort to violent methods because they might have tried a peaceful protest but it didn't make no changes s they might think to get their attention they would create a violent protest to get their attention or to make them think what they could do.
A person may believe in staying in a peaceful protest because they might not want to create war or get anyone hurt or killed so they keep to a peaceful protest. Also they might believe it's not worth it having a violent protest as it could make the situation worse.
Overall I believe that you should start a peaceful protest so that no one else is hurt or killed.
What affects did Malcolm X have on society?
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.

Out of the three types of government there is; Dictatorship, Monarchy, and Democracy. Democracy is where the citizens of the country vote for their leader. Monarchy's, means there is a King or Queen, and rules the land (its hereditary). Then, Dictatorship is when I person gains so much power, usually out of respect from the people, or through conquering the territory.

What was the purpose of Malcolm X's activities?
He was killed by members of another African American group
Why should Malcolm x be remembered?
The fame of Malcolm X stems arguably from his outspoken and extremely critical stance regarding the treatment of blacks, primarily in the U.S. His indictment of America was fierce, and he was accused of inciting violence. He was a brilliant man, but plagued by inconsistency and irrationality.
Though he was a member of the Nation of Islam, he "butted heads" with leadership there and left that organization. After conversion to become a Sunni Muslim, a hajj and bit of travel, principally to sites in the Middle East and Africa, he returned to the U.S. and continued to lambaste America for the problems faced by blacks. He was assassinated by blacks who were alleged to have ties to the Nation of Islam about a year after his departure from that organization. More than one prominent black leader suggested "he got what he preached" after he was killed. A link can be found below.
[Do not confuse the film, which was an excellent movie, with the man and his reality.]
Other answers:
- Malcom X was for the blacks and was against racism and was trying to get black people the right to have rights
- proberly cause he stopped racism and all of the other things as well. Given the variables of racism then and its existence presently.One would think Malcolm X failed in stopping the advocation of racism. He simply pulled the cover off the instituions that were responisible for the conditions plaguing people of color.It's ironic how in school we are taught to accept the American revolution as a great act,while in the same breath Malcolm's cry for a revolution against racist institutions was wrong.What Malcolm did stop,was black people from believing that they had no voice,or power to challenge the power structure.More importantly he taught that 0who you are is defined in your ability to become educated and come together as a people first.
