I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against.

Most people who work in prison earn money through contraband.

We do not condemn the preachers as an individual but we condemn what they teach. We urge that the preachers teach the truth, to teach our people the one important guiding rule of conduct - unity of purpose.
Malcolm X

...the collective white man had acted like a devil in virtually every contact he had with the world's collective non-white man.

I looked on the television the other night and saw them beating a Negro unmercifully in Mississippi. And this is the result of a brainwashing technique, a certain power structure in the American government has paid these Negro integrationist leaders to perpetuate among our people. But it's not a good thing, and it will never solve our problem.
