You've got an idealistic reverend who preached nothing but peace and love his entire life juxtaposed over the music of a faker who one moment would talk about rising above poverty and the next minute would do anything from rape somebody to shoot at someone to sell drugs or talk about murdering his best friend. To even insinuate that Tupac and Dr. King had anything other than their race in common is laughable.

I respected Pac more than King actually... It was white people who put King on the pedestal like that, blacks loved him, but I think we get more riled up by people such as Malcolm X and the Panthers. King didn't have a plan, he just wanted equality with white people and take it from there, but there will never be full equality so revolutionary warfare and a shift of power is the only solution.

I think that's the argument that most people who wanted more use. But on the real, you can't do that as a minority. Blacks are still only 15% of the country, it will be impossible to ask for what Malcolm and 'Pac represented. MLK is the best you can hope for in that his asking.

Why is that? After all, what Malcolm represented isn't to the interest of blacks only. It's not like the blacks alone have to change. And besides that, a huge part of what Malcolm propagated actually is about making a change from within the lives of the blacks. Remember his view on enterpreneurship and community support?
And to put 2Pac next to Malcolm X is rediculous if you ask me. I can't think of a single thing Pac really propagated, except for violence and the patheticness of some of the black society. Pac seriously contradicted Malcolm in a bad way.
M Dogg™:
What 'Pac was is a reflection of reality. He was a product more that he was anything else, and he was well aware of it. He would have been very dangerous had me matured. Remember, at 25, when 'Pac died, MALCOLM WAS A PIMP. He was a criminal, and 'Pac was headed down the same path.
