Answer 2

B. having total separation of Black people and white people

Step-by-step explanation:

Malcolm X thought the racial problems in the US can only be changed by the complete separation from the white people.

This was different from the existing segregation laws, as they were dictated by the white people who had the power. Instead, blacks should get their own means in their hands – their economy, politics, culture, civil rights – and control them completely isolated of the white people, and with no dependency. Only after complete sovereignty, they can gain all the rights, and in the mean time reconnect with the rules of the relationship dictated by them.

This was very unlike the civil rights movement, which fought against segregation and acceptance of the rights inside of the joint community.
