Under scrutiny I'm sure your comment falls apart, but it is accurate from orbit.

Its also appropriate to remember that MLK was friends with Malcolm X, and both chose their own means to support the same end goal.

MLK chose nonviolent shows of force, whereas Malcolm X chose more direct forms of violence.

Governments could save face by negotiating with MLK, as he used nonviolent means. They couldn't negotiate with Malcolm X because thats the whole "we cannot negotiate with criminals and terrorists".
