Question

Was Malcolm X more politcally moderate than Obama?

Answer 1

Read Malcolm X's autobiography. He was not politically moderate. He wanted change of course, but not change in the way it is a campaign slogan. Malcolm X wanted extreme civil rights changes for black people in America. Malcolm X was politically radical for his time. You cannot compare Obama and Malcolm X because they exist(ed) in completely different periods with very different political, economic, social, religious, and cultural settings and pressures. I am sure there are those that will disagree with me. But the ideas that Malcolm X spoke for, which became part of the immeasurably important civil rights movement, can hardly be compared to the "change" that a variably middle of the road democrat Obama promises.  

Answer 2

I would have to say yes for the simple fact that Malcolm X has had more of an impact on the world. He also was around when there was more racism. In other words, that means he has experienced more then Obama. Again, what he went through was more important  then a political race.
