ML: Do you understand, though, where someone might be influenced through a “by any means necessary” as Malcolm X has said.
GA: Well Malcolm X, as far as my understanding, he wasn’t about violence.
ML: Malcolm X, him and Martin Luther King had very different views.
So Malcolm X was more on the, if they were to attack us, which you see a lot of protesters doing now, if they are to attack us, we attack back, especially in a time where churches were being burned and little girls were dying and Black people had no protection for themselves.
Malcolm X believes, like the Black Panthers did, that you can use force because, you know, because they’re using it against you.
