More quotes by Malcolm X
Learn to see, listen, and think for yourself.
Malcolm X
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.
Malcolm X
[ Negro leaders] never let the white man know exactly what black people are thinking.
Malcolm X
We don't think that we're begging for anything. We think we're demanding what is ours by right.
Malcolm X
This religion (Islam) recognizes all men as brothers. It accepts all human beings as equals before God, and as equal members in the Human Family of Mankind.
Malcolm X
Instead of working for white man and helping him hold up a government that continues to suppress us socially and, and exploit us economically and oppress us politically, let us go and enter our own territory and use our own talents to uplift ourselves by our own bootstraps. And then he will recognize us for what we are.
Malcolm X
A Negro just can't be whipped by somebody white and return with his head up in the neighborhood, especially in those days, when sports and, to a lesser extent show business, were the only fields open to Negroes, and when the ring was the only place a Negro could whip a white man and not be lynched.
Malcolm X
Most people who work in prison earn money through contraband.
Malcolm X
The black man in Africa had mastered the arts and sciences. He knew the course of the stars in the universe before the man up in Europe knew that the earth wasn't flat.
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
Just as a tree without roots is dead, a people without history or cultural roots also becomes a dead people.
Malcolm X
Most of those Negroes have been given those jobs by the white political machine, and they serve no other function other than to, as window dressing.
Malcolm X
I'm not a Republican, nor a Democrat, nor an American, and got sense enough to know it.
Malcolm X
The white man is going to keep you integration-minded Negroes cooped up here in America, and when you discover that the white man is a trickster, a devil, that he has no intentions of integrating, then you Negroes will run wild.
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
I think that the best thing that a person can be is sincere.
Malcolm X
It is only the Negro leadership, the bourgeois, hand-picked, handful of Negroes who think that they're going to get some kind of respect, recognition, or protection from the Government.
Malcolm X
No religion will ever make me forget the condition of our people in this country...No God, no religion, no nothing will make me forget it until it stops, until it's elimitnated. I want to make that point clear.
Malcolm X
When you aren't affiliated with anything, and then you look at something, you look at it with your eye to the best of your ability.
Malcolm X
If I go home and someone, and my child has blood running down her leg and someone tells me that a snake bit her, I'm going out and kill the snake. And when I find the snake, I'm not going to look and see if he has blood on his jaws.
Malcolm X
