Answer 1

This question is asking about stereotypes of famous people who were significant in American culture and history around racial inequality. Expectedly, by realizing the key word is "violence", the quotation is used typically to illustrate the divide in strategy and thinking among black leaders in regards of racism in the US. Specifically, Malcolm X had previously advocated for utilizing any means at disposal to rectify oppression (the American black man's problem in the question). His approach contrasted famously with that of Martin Luther King Jr., who consistently advocated for a non-violence striving towards racial justice and Fair-play. And given the options offered, Malcolm X aligns with the named approach.
