More quotes by Malcolm X
I could see from this, that perhaps if white Americans could accept the Oneness of God, then perhaps, too, they could accept in reality the Oneness of Man - and cease to measure, and hinder, and harm others in terms of their differences in color.

Malcolm X
Reverend Galamison is fighting a hard battle against great opposition, and I admire a man who fights a hard battle against great opposition.
Malcolm X
When you have to pass a law to make a man let me have a house, or you have to pass a law to make a man let me go to school, or you have to pass a law to make a man let me walk down the street, you have to enforce that law and you'd have to be living actually in a police state. It would take a police state in this country.
Malcolm X
Only the mistakes were mine.
Malcolm X
The people listening very closely to what the Muslims have always declared. They'll find that in every declaration there's the fact that, the same as, as Moses told Pharaoh, You're doomed if you don't do so and so, or as Daniel told, I think it was Balthazar or Nebuchadnezzar, You are doomed if you don't do so and so.
Malcolm X
Right now, in every big city ghetto, tens of thousands of yesterday's and today's school dropouts are keeping body and soul together by some form of hustling in the same way I did.
Malcolm X

Malcolm X
There were tens of thousands of pilgrims, from all over the world. They were of all colors, from blue-eyed blonds to black-skinned Africans. But we were all participating in the same ritual, displaying a spirit of unity and brotherhood that my experiences in America had led me to believe never could exist between the white and non-white.
Malcolm X
We won't organize any black man to be a Democrat or a Republican because both of them have sold us out. Both of them have sold us out both parties have sold us out. Both parties are racist, and the Democratic Party is more racist than the Republican Party.
Malcolm X
I asked inmate in New York, Warden Fay at that time if, if it didn't make a better inmate out of the Negroes who accepted it and he said, Yes. So I asked him then what was it about it that he considered to be so danger, and he, dangerous, and he pointed out that it was the cohesiveness that it produced among the inmates. They stuck together.
Malcolm X
The white man is a devil. If he is not a devil, let him prove it!
