At best, they were comparable to Malcolm X (making other groups look relatively acceptable).
Malcolm filled a necessary role. If white middle America hadn't been so terrified of Malcolm, Dr. King wouldn't have been nearly as accepted.
Malcolm's pre-Hajj vision of separation would have been like Dr. King's bus boycott but on a national scale and across all sectors of the economy.
Never discount the ability of uncompromising extremists to bring other parties to the negotiating table. Everyone's money is green.
