This isn't a battle, so I didn't put it there. Who accomplished the most and who is the biggest hero out of these 3?
All 3 were heroes, Malcolm X was a hero. Who accomplished more and who was the biggest hero?
Martin Luther King Jr vs Malcolm X vs Nelson Mandela
I think we should talk more about the ideas surrounding all three, if it comes to accomplishments, then it inevitably leaves the battle to Mandela VS King since Malcolm X was just a public speaker, what he may have accomplished is not as visible as what his two other colleagues did.
"I've never seen a sincere white man, not when it comes to helping black people. Usually things like this are done by white people to benefit themselves. The white man's primary interest is not to elevate the thinking of black people, or to waken black people, or white people either. The white man is interested in the black man only to the extent that the black man is of use to him. The white man's interest is to make money, to exploit."
"The common enemy is the white man."
Quotations like this make me disrespect Malcom X greatly.
Whilst the others advocated everyone loving everyone. Malcom X slandered "The White Man" practically saying that they only think about themselves.
MLK wins out of these choices.
MLK was a member of the Communist party and had other communist advisors. He used to regularly beat up prostitutes. There's a reason his file has been locked by the FBI. He's not the saint like he's portrayed to be in the media.

he had friends and people who were around him that may have bn communist that doesnt make one and even if he were that has nothing to do for what he advocated nor is it criminal.
i have never heard of him using his entourage to beat up prostitutes that is new to me, do you have any evidence or credible sources to cite such an allegation?
the link hardly seems credible. = /

well i'm not too familiar with Mandela's work..although i should be...however i prefer MLK over Malcolm anyday
Look at when Malcolm X MOVED AWAY from the Nation Of Islam, he became ALOT better, just when he got good, he got killed."I've never seen a sincere white man, not when it comes to helping black people.

IMO, Mandela did the most.
You really need to read the autobiography of Malcolm X. If you are going to speak on something, educate yourself first instead of taking things out of context. There is difference between NOI Malcolm, and Sunni Muslim Malcolm."I've never seen a sincere white man, not when it comes to helping black people. Usually things like this are done by white people to benefit themselves. The white man's primary interest is not to elevate the thinking of black people, or to waken black people, or white people either.

Furthermore, if there were no Martin Luther King Jr., there very well may not have been a Nelson Mandela. The accomplishments as of how far civil rights and equality in America has come, MLK Jr. set a precedent that influenced behavior and legation in the U.S. which send shock waves around the world. The history of chattel slavery, to share cropping, to the Jim Crow laws, the world was watching us change, and becoming more and more like the America we promised to be. With liberty, and justice for ALL.
His success gave others around the world an example, encouragement and strength to effect change, how he fought for freedom and equality in his homeland, now, someone in an Apartheid stricken South Africa who was wrongfully imprisoned, could dream of then one day becoming the president of that land.
MLK Jr. wasn't a perfect man, but he is the greatest American hero imo, the strongest influence out of the three. What MLK Jr. has done for this world still helps us to this day.
People tend to look at Malcolm X as the scary black man. They really need to check him out after his pilgrimage to mecca.
There all equal as far as I'm concerned. MLK helped to break down the Jim Crow system through a message of peace and reconciliation, while Malcolm X focused on the strength and pride of black people, and how even if racist whites refused to give us our equality, we had the power to attain the freedom we deserved as people. Nelson Mandela fought to destroy a horrible Apartheid government in South Africa. They all suffered for their work(MLK and MX were killed, Mandela spent a quarter of a century in prison), and they all are heroes. None of us, no matter what race, would be where we are if it wasn't for the sacrifices of these great men.
Random trivia: Out of the three, guess which one did not own a gun?
Answer: Malcolm X. Though he was photographed with weapons, Malcolm X did not own a gun or allow guns into his household
Bullsh#t. A racist just posted this, he knew communist people, he wasn't one himself.
Typical. One points out that the man MLK wasn't a saint and he's suddenly a racist. If that's your only argument it's absolutely pathetic.
Regarding Nelson Mandela, him removing apartheid made things worse for many South Africans. Today many South Africans would rather go back to the apartheid system because at least they would get work and have a better quality of life, unlike today where they live under an extremely corrupt government. Not to mention there are thousands of white South Africans who are getting slaughtered and their homes taken away by Africans and receiving no help from the government. Where is the world outrage about this? Nowhere to be found. Disgusting.
What? No Steven Biko? Boooooooo! I believe him above Mandela.. Who, by the way, is my choice among the three.
What I want to see is these three versus Mugabe, Idi Amin and Mohamed Farrah Aidid... But the three in the OP can use an invincibility cheat code... :D
Hold up dude, I lived in Europe for 7 years and when I came back I was 11 now 15 years of age. Why would we go back to apartheid where us blacks people are just going to to be mistreated again. I don't want to be mean or anything but what you just said right now is a bunch of bull, yes the government is corrupt I'll give you that one. But white people getting slaughtered and their houses taken by Africans, hell to the no! I may be ignorant but I'm definetly smart, knowing very well what's going on in my country. OK a couple of days ago an old white couple was killed, all us black people felt bad and no one is taking their house plus they already found people who might of done it, thanks to DNA testing. I love white people I lived around them for half of my life.
More bullsh#t. Africans would go back to apartheid? WTF is this? Apartheid = Evil. You have no proof for King being communist. Apartheid was a barrier that was holding Africa back, it needed to be removed. Nelson Mandela knows better than you. I fail to see how Apartheid is good.Bullsh#t.

Wait a minute WTF?! Black people would rather go to Apartheid?! Who the hell is this idiot?! So u're saying black people would rather go back to being 3rd class citizens and having their children massacred when they protest against a racist education system?! So what if the Government is corrupt,name a govt. that isn't! #benitomussolinithebiggestidiot
hate to admit it but i dont know much on malcom x but for me its both mlk and mandela since they really did make a change in the world
MLK. He was basically America's Gandhi
I have a great amount of respect for all three.
This.
I love this rap battle!
In a brawl, Malcolm X.
But seriously, while all three are deserving of our respect I personally hold Malcom X in the highest esteem.

Links to Stormfront are suspect, I suppose ; }
Malcolm X gets my vote.
I read this ^ when I was 16. It changed my life and made everything regarding racism clear.
My gf is white and she read this at like 19. It's her favorite book and she completely agrees.
