Most definitely. People really need to stop with the "Killmonger (or Magneto) is Malcolm" nonsense. Magneto and Killmonger are murderers and terrorists. That was not Malcolm's message.
Comparing Xavier to Martin Luther King Jr needs to stop too.
There's this gross misconception that Dr King's message was about appealing to the better nature of white people through non violence, when in reality Dr King was mostly about shaming people into taking the moral path. The marches and sit ins didn't work simply because they were non violent, they worked because of the violence inflicted on those who participated in those protest being seen by others. Charles Xavier was typically portrayed as someone obsessed with humanitys acceptance and felt mutants needed to conform to prove they were deserving of equal rights.
