I understand why he was attracted to a cult, sure. But does that change that he and Richard Spencer are literally teaching and spreading the same kind of racial supremacy rhetoric? You wouldn't say Richard Spencer is justified or a hero if Richard Spencer's siblings were killed by black people when he was a kid, would you?

MLK was raised in the same circumstances as Malcom X, or at least extremely similar circumstances. Yet he never spread literal black supremacy rhetoric or anti-white rhetoric.

The only way Richard Spencer would be equivalent to Malcolm X would not just be having family killed by black people, but having said black people escape justice because they had the backing of an anti-white government that actively put white people under black people, constantly favored black people, and segregated white people from black people by giving white people inferior services and infrastructure.

I'm not saying Malcolm X was a good man who never made mistakes, but just boiling him down to a caricature of "racist" is very dishonest when learning about his legacy. How do you feel when liberals paint the Founding Fathers as racists and ignore everything else about them?
