X is Known

Compared to other civil rights activists i feel like X isnt completely studied and given full credit for his philosophies. I think he is viewed more negatively than he actually was. He is usually associated with violence and affirmative action more than any other activist who is usually deemed as peaceful or passive aggressive. X even though his philosophy did include more affirmative acts only did so in self defense, compared to the philosophy of other activist that felt time would mend the damage already done. Both ways were good ways to look at the situation and ultimately could result in the same things, one just had a slightly more negative tag with it.
