Who thinks that there is some similarity in the differences of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X as there is with Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff?

I might be totally wrong and just too stoned too much of the time- but i'm sure that there is- only really with the aggression (not [underlined] not the passion, just the aggression) in which they believed in the things they believed, and how they thought was best to go about getting those things, and how they wanted others to go about resolving the situation....

now i'm begining to wonder if there is any sense in what i'm saying???.....

someone put me right, please-

is there any similarities in the difference between Martin Luther King and Malcom X as there is between Jimmy Cliff and Bob Marley???

i'd say there's more of an analogy of martin luther king and malcolm x with bob marley and peter tosh than marley and jimmy cliff's character in the film, but that's just my take

mos def. peter tosh (like x) was millitant but had a message while jimmy cliffs character was just a thug

He was just a thug in the film, but I think they were talking about jimmy Cliff the singer instead of the character he played on film. I don't really know anything about Cliff, so I can't answer that.
