Compre John F. Kennedy to Malcolm X.

This is a very difficult comparison because the men had
such different backgrounds and held such different places in society as adults.  One way
to compare them is to say that Kennedy was the ultimate insider while Malcolm X was the
ultimate outsider.

Kennedy was a member of the elite his
whole life.  His father was a wealthy businessman who was, for a time, the US Ambassador
to Britain.  By contrast, Malcolm X was born to an obscure black family that had nothing
like elite status in society.

As adults, the men were just
as different.  Kennedy went into politics soon after serving in WWII.  He rose quickly,
helped by family connections.  His was a very "establishment" career.  By contrast,
Malcolm X was convict who went on to be a Black Muslim and a black nationalist.  This is
the epitome of "outsiderness."

In short, then, the best way
to compare the two is to say that Kennedy lived his whole life in the elite levels of
mainstream America while Malcolm X's life was the polar
opposite.
