More quotes by Malcolm X
They came up with a civil rights bill in 1964, supposedly to solve our problem, and after the bill was signed, three civil rights workers were murdered in cold blood. And the FBI head, Hoover, admits that they know who did it, they've known ever since it happened, and they've done nothing about it. Civil rights bill down the drain.
Malcolm X
I think that Nehru probably was a good man, although I didn't go for it. I don't go for anybody who is passive. I don't go for anybody who advocates passivism or peaceful suffering in any form whatsoever. I don't go for it.
Malcolm X
My faith in God is such that I am not afraid.
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
The death of over 120 white people is a very beautiful thing.
Malcolm X
Many of them who belong to these countries that were former colonial powers have racist attitudes, but their racist attitude is never displayed to the degree that the America's attitude of racism is displayed. Never.
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
I am for violence if non-violence means we continue postponing a solution to the American black man's problem just to avoid violence.
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
You have a race problem that must be solved, or else you will alienate every non-white person on this earth within the next few years, or within the next few months.
Malcolm X
When the whites themselves are attacked, they believe in defending themselves and things of that sort.
Malcolm X
You know, if ever there was a people who should know how to practice brotherhood, it is the American Negro and it is the people of Egypt.
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
Among Negroes we have Negroes who are as white as some white people. Still there's a difference.
Malcolm X
You have the upper class Negroes who are the modern day Uncle Toms or the 20th century Uncle Toms. They don't wear a handkerchief anymore. They wear top hats. They're called Doctor, they're called - Reverend, but they're still - they play the same role today that Uncle Tom played on the plantation.
Malcolm X
To say it is not practical, one has to also admit that integration is not practical.
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
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
It's almost impossible to separate the actions, or it's also, it's almost impossible to separate the oppression and exploitation, criminal oppression and criminal exploitation of the American negro from the color of the skin of the person who is the oppressor or the exploiter.
Malcolm X
I'm for truth, no matter who tells it.
Malcolm X
