More quotes by Malcolm X
I look at the problem of the twenty-two million Afro-Americans as being a problem that's so broad in scope that it's almost impossible for any organization to see it in its entirety.
Malcolm X
When you are equal with another person, the problem of integration doesn't even arise.
Malcolm X
You know, if ever there was a people who should know how to practice brotherhood, it is the American Negro and it is the people of Egypt.
Malcolm X
If you're black, you were born in jail, in the North as well as the South. Stop talking about the South. Long as you south of the Canadian border, you're south.
Malcolm X
You can't hate your origin and not end up hating yourself. You can't hate Africa and not hate yourself.
Malcolm X
Just as a tree without roots is dead, a people without history or cultural roots also becomes a dead people.
Malcolm X
Segregation is that which is forced upon an inferior by a superior. Separation is done voluntarily by two equals.
Malcolm X
My alma mater was books, a good library.
Malcolm X
I don't care how nice one is to you, the thing you must always remember is that almost never does he really see you as he sees himself, as he sees his own kind.
Malcolm X
You spend so much time barking up the civil-rights tree, you don't even know there's a human-rights tree on the same floor.
Malcolm X
The thing that has made the so-called Negro in America fail, more than any other thing, is your, my, lack of knowledge concerning history. We know less about history than anything else.
Malcolm X
The same rebellion, the same impatience, the same anger that exists in the hearts of the dark people in Africa and Asia is existing in the hearts and minds of 20 million black people in this country who have been just as thoroughly colonized as the people in Africa and Asia.
Malcolm X
The only way the two can have equal job opportunities is if black people have factories as, as well as white people have factories.
Malcolm X
Racism is a human problem and a crime that is absolutely so ghastly that a person who is fighting racism is well within his rights to fight against it by any means necessary until it is eliminated.
Malcolm X
I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land--every color, and class, and rank high officials and the beggar alike--all snored in the same language.
Malcolm X
Don't condemn if you see a person has a dirty glass of water, just show them the clean glass of water that you have. When they inspect it, you won't have to say that yours is better. -said by Elijah Muhammad to Malcolm X
Malcolm X
I have more respect for a man who lets me know where he stands, even if he's wrong, than the one who comes up like an angel and is nothing but a devil.
Malcolm X
Of all our studies, it is history that is best qualified to reward our research.
Malcolm X
It's easy. [Black man] is - he's separate already. The fact that you have Harlem, the fact that you have the Negro ghetto and the so-called Negro slum, he's already separate.
Malcolm X
Forget the methods or the differences in methods. As long as we agree that the thing that the Afro-American wants and needs is recognition and respect as a human being.
