Revolution is based on land. Land is the basis of all independence. Land is the basis of freedom, justice, and equality.
Malcolm X
Image
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.

Just as a tree without roots is dead, a people without history or cultural roots also becomes a dead people.
Malcolm X

We cannot think of being acceptable to others until we have first proven acceptable to ourselves.
Malcolm X
Image
Our objective is complete freedom, justice and equality by any means necessary.
Malcolm X
Image
The man was a deceiver. He was deceitful and I will never bite my tongue in saying that. I don't think he was anything but a politician, and he used Negroes to get elected and to get votes.
Malcolm X
Image
The only thing power respects, is power.
Malcolm X
Image
Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.
Malcolm X
Image
If I can't run my neighborhood you won't want me in your neighborhood.
Malcolm X
Image
It is incorrect to classify the revolt of the Negro as simply a radical conflict of black against white or as a purely American problem. Rather, we are today seeing a global rebellion of the oppressed against the oppressor, the exploited against the exploiter.

If the ballot doesn't work, we'll try something else. But let us try the ballot.

Why should [Uncle Sam] send 20 billion dollars down there [South America], which is going to go down the drain every time you have a racial in - incident in this country?
