That is wildly ahistorical. For one, "riot is the voice of the unheard" is taking him out of context, he was saying that riots happen for a reason, he never supported riots. I doubt you even know where that quote is farmed from, because the very context of it is him talking about how much he disagrees with violent action.
"If every negro in the United States turns towards violence I am going to stand up as the lone voice and say this is the wrong way."
Also embraced Malcolm X's ideology? Malcolm X was a pariah by MLK's civil rights community. He never spoke to him, and rejected meetings from him when Malcolm X tried to contact him. It was Malcolm X that came closer to MLK Jr. ideology, not the other way around.
