For me, driving. Its not that driving is difficult or i’m just not able to drive. Its that there are just too many awful drivers and pedestrians you have to care about on the road.

    and you’re taught the illegitimacy of Malcolm X’ ideology and the Nation of Islam on purpose.

    I’ll say mostly yes, but there was one thing in my school textbooks that contradicted that narrative. It was this picture of Malcolm X and Dr. King:

    I felt I got a semi-decent education in public schools about the Civil Rights era hitting the highlights of:

    • Rosa Parks/Bus boycott
    • Lunch counter sit ins
    • Dr King’s speeches and approaches of non-violent protest
    • March on Selma + Edmund Pettus Bridge
    • Brown V Board of Education
    • Little Rock Nine

    With all of that picture of Malcolm X and Dr. King said something to me that words in the textbook never did. Dr. King, the man who preached non-violence and moved the USA forward to a better future chose to meet with Malcolm X. Malcolm X could not have been “all bad” or illegitimate if Dr. King wanted to interact with him. Further, after seeing pictures and film from Bloody Sunday (Edmund Pettus Bridge crossing), Malcolm X’s actions made much more sense.
