Malcolm X
An integrated cup of coffee isn't sufficient pay for four hundred years of slave labor.
Malcolm X
Anytime you tell a man to turn the other cheek or to be nonviolent in the face of a violent enemy, you're making that man defenseless. You're robbing him of his God-given right to defend himself.
Malcolm X

I think that Abraham Lincoln probably did more to trick negroes than any other man in history.
Malcolm X
One of the tricks of the west is to use or create images, they create images of a person who doesn't go along with their views and then they make certain that this image is distasteful, and then anything that that person has to say from thereon, from thereon in, is rejected.
Malcolm X
So early in my life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.
Malcolm X
After you get your freedom, your enemy will respect you.
Malcolm X
The main part of the tree is the root, and the root is always beneath the ground. It never is brought out into the light.

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
