They don't even properly educate themselves about MLK. Many remember the brave marches and inspiring speeches but either don't learn about or ignore the violence and arrests.

People who benefit from the status quo don't like those who rock the boat. That's why you get hollow recitations of MLK's speeches, telling people "how they should protest" aka be not seen or heard.

Really all one needs to do to have a positive view of Malcolm is to read his autobiography. Its a shame more havent done so. He has a lot of interesting ideas and thoughts in there.

I can't speak for everyone, but growing up in public schools in the 90's and early 00's, the curriculum touted MLK as this perfect, Christ-like figure and Malcom X as a well-intentioned, but dangerous and misguided revolutionary. Kind of screwed up my perception of the whole thing throughout my adolescence. >_> Maybe schools in other parts of the country were better.

The egotistical part of me likes Malcolm Xs empowerment message, but I also know not everyone is me. Like others have said, people are sensitive and easily discouraged when they hear things that don't sound good. Like, it sucks, but it's a reality.

Because of a lot of whitewashing. Both Malcolm and Martin were public enemy no.1 to white America at the time. Martin's message was more malleable to be repackaged neatly, ignoring that Martin also spoke truth to power.
Malcolm never minced words and didn't subscribe to the nonviolent approach where if a cop is beating your ass or siccing a dog on you, you just sit there and take it. Malcolm didn't advocate for violence, but also said "if someone puts a dog on you, then you kill that dog". MLK and Malcolm played the good cop/bad cop role, the Civil Rights Movement needed both. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm_g6vuP07U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlfjmZw72bo --- "If you want to move fast, practice slowly...if you want to move like lightning, practice in stillness." ...
