More quotes by Malcolm X
I believe that a psychological, cultural, and philosophical migration back to Africa will solve our problem.
Malcolm X
Those who would hunt a man need to remember that a jungle also contains those who hunt the hunters.
Malcolm X
America has allowed white people to kill and brutalize those they don't like.
Malcolm X
I was going through the hardest thing, also the greatest thing, for any human being to do to accept that which is already within you, and around you.
Malcolm X
The white man is by nature a devil and must be destroyed.
Malcolm X
The most disrespected person in America is the black woman. The most unprotected person in America is the black woman. The most neglected person in America is the black woman.
Malcolm X
Anytime anyone is enslaved or in any way deprived of his liberty, that person, as a human being, as far as I'm concerned he is justified to resort to whatever methods necessary to bring about his liberty again.
Malcolm X
I'm a field Negro. The masses are the field Negroes. When they see this man's house on fire, you don't hear these little Negroes talking about 'our government is in trouble'. They say, 'The government is in trouble.'
Malcolm X
Until the image of the black man in the mind of the black man has been changed, there will always be delinquency, parental and juvenile. The idea is not to change the attitude of the white man to the black man but to change the attitude of the black man to himself.
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
You'd have civil war. You'd have a race war in this country.
Malcolm X
My alma mater was books, a good library.
Malcolm X
If you read the story of slavery and see the part that the Uncle Tom played in the plantation, and then you see how the white man today has changed his tactics, but he still occupies the same position, in that same context you find Uncle Tom. He has changed his tactics but he still occupies the same position.
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
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
We are fighting for the right to live as free humans in this society. In fact, we are actually fighting for rights that are even greater than civil rights and that is human rights.
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
Growing is the result of learning.
Malcolm X
Why can't the black man have a God? What's so wrong when a black man says his God will protect him form his white foe? If Jehovah can slay Philistines for the Jews, why can't Allah slay crackers for the so-called Negro?
Malcolm X
You have, you can only answer it this way: by turning it around. Can the negro - who is the victim of the system - escape the collective stigma that is placed upon all Negroes in this country?
Malcolm X
