Professor X = Martin Luther King = A philosophy based on DREAMS & HOPES!!
Magneto = Malcolm X = A philosophy based on REALITY & RATIONALITY!!
Magneto, unlike Professor X, was able to fully embrace the reality that species must act accordingly to their differences in order to survive & reach their full potential. In other words, lambs don't hang out with lions, & lions don't try to be buddies with lambs. They instinctively recognize their differences within the animal family and act accordingly.

@NegusNigist Okay, I have a couple of issues. Are you comparing humans to animals? Humans have much more capabilities than mere animals so the comparison is cheap. Secondly, you say MLK is about Dreams and Hopes while Shabazz is about rationality and reality? But I ask, is it a good thing to confuse rationality with cynicism? Your statement makes it seem as if people are not capable of good when that's not true. Also, we can do more than survive, we can live.

I use to buy x-men comics a while back and i always sided with Magneto and i always new the story was inspired by Martin Luther King and Malcolm X.Its funny that you say that professor X(whose sought of a rip off of MLK) has a little bit of Magneto in him cause MLK had a little bit of Malcolm in him also.MLK in one of his speeches talk about some of the things Malcolm talked about and he was even quoted as saying"i`m afraid i might be integrating my people into a burning house.

@DiScUrNmEnT Yeah, I noticed...right before I noticed 1) the only Black Woman becomes a traitor 2 a cracker she just met, 2) the only Black Man gets killed & 3) the Black Woman that he was trying 2 save didn't give a shit! One of the reasons I'll watch a hollywood movie (If I think I can stand it) is because it shows how these crackers think! Obviously, from this scene alone-they want us 2 B expendable & not care about eachother...& this film is progressive compared 2 their usual garbage!

@kingru77 So as you say there is no shades of grey, you either want to assimilate or you don't. While there are weaknesses in both their ideology, it's clear where both stand.
-
@kingru77 Thought cont- As such Professors X's flaw in ideology is he's built a school for mutants to feel comfortable but to also help assimilate them into the human community. That's why he's so passive in defending mutants. His thought process is " even though we are superior lets defend ourselves but don't hurt the humans". Magneto's thought process is " we are superior and we will show them through brute force that we are superior".

@kingru77 Lions=African/Black people.....Leopards/White people
-
@kingru77 For clarity, what I mean by similar ways of acting and thinking is they're both lions and leopards are big cats just as mutants are a superior version of humans but human in virtually in every way.

@NegusNigist While I can agree with you to an extent, lambs and lions aren't really what we're talking about here. Lions and lambs could be changed to hunter and prey which is a totally different dynamic. To me it's more like lions and leopards, both act and think virtually the same and both know who's superior. The issue in this case is the superior/lion group is out maned in social economic terms under the inferiors/leopard system and thus placed in a inferior/leopards position.
Dam bro' you fired up. What's up with that?

@JamesJ30t I dunno. Did I make you feel uncomfortable?

Either you believe Afrikan people should have a socio-economic & political infrastructure they control in their communities or you do not. There are no shades of grey. So before you engage in a debate with anyone...ask them if this is something they believe in or not.
