Acomplishing Civil rights

Who's methodology was more effective during the civil rights, Malcolm X or Martian Luther King Jr? A very standard question considering their methods were both different. Martian Luther King, Jr. was more on to the themes of passiveness, while Malcolm X was more passive aggressive with his quote "by any means necessary" meaning he will accomplish the goal no matter what it took, even if it takes violence. As for who's was more "effective" i would probably say MLK because if say you were hit and then you bush it off like nothing and try and show just love, you will win every time, even if you are beaten and broken physically what is captured in the news, and trust me they will catch it, it will show the attackers as the "bad guys" and thus causing more support for your movement. According to Malcolm X if someone was to lay a hand on you "put him in the cemetery" which is pretty obvious in meaning. Of course Malcolm X still says obey the law, however if you are challenged fight it to death. MLK's version of doing things just seems more of a big picture sort of deal then a instant, then fall on it self, sort of way.
