More quotes by Malcolm X
Much of what I say might sound bitter, but it's the truth. Much of what I say might sound like it's stirring up trouble, but it's the truth. Much of what I say might sound like its hate, but it's the truth
Malcolm X
To me, the thing that is worse than death is betrayal.
Malcolm X
The Negro fought and bled and died in every war the white man waged, and he still won't give you justice. You nursed his baby and cleaned behind his wife, and he still won't give you freedom you turned the other cheek while he lynched you and raped your women, but he still won't give you equality.
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
One day, may we all meet together in the light of understanding.
Malcolm X
I think that Abraham Lincoln probably did more to trick negroes than any other man in history.
Malcolm X
Since integration is so slow, and the white man knows the problem must be solved, the only thing that he can do tomorrow is, is separate, because we're already separated.
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'll say nothing against him. At one time the whites in the United States called him a racialist, and extremist, and a Communist. Then the Black Muslims came along and the whites thanked the Lord for Martin Luther King.
Malcolm X
22 million African-Americans - that's what we are - Africans who are in America.
Malcolm X
If a white man puts his arm around me voluntarily, that's brotherhood.
Malcolm X
As I say, if we bring up religion we'll have differences we'll have arguments and we'll never be able to get together.
Malcolm X
There has to be something wrong when a man or a woman leaves his own people and marries somebody of another kind.
Malcolm X
We cannot think of uniting with others, until after we have first united among ourselves... One can't unite bananas with scattered leaves.
Malcolm X
Wyatt [ Walker] doesn't say that as much as Whitney Young does.
Malcolm X
[ Uncle Sam] is not sending 20 billion dollars to South America because he loves those people down here. He's sending it - sending it to them because he needs their friendship, he needs their allegion - their allegiance.
Malcolm X
I believe in human rights for everyone, and none of us is qualified to judge each other and that none of us should therefore have that authority.
Malcolm X
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
When I said [ I would work with any organization] I would make the, the reservation that I would work with any organization as long as it didn't make us compromise our religious principles.
Malcolm X
I believe in the brotherhood of all men, but I don't believe in wasting brotherhood on anyone who doesn't want to practice it with me. Brotherhood is a two-way street.
Malcolm X
