I understand what he means by "negative peace". A status quo where both sides are thrown into chaos is annoying.

What MLK got wrong was believing the solution was to go with forced equality. There was no excuse for this, when Malcolm X lived and breathed in the same era as him, but he was pushing Blacks to go live in their own separate country instead.

It's actually kind of sad. Now everyone is doomed to die in a society with far worse racial tensions than before...
