More quotes by Malcolm X
The people listening very closely to what the Muslims have always declared. They'll find that in every declaration there's the fact that, the same as, as Moses told Pharaoh, You're doomed if you don't do so and so, or as Daniel told, I think it was Balthazar or Nebuchadnezzar, You are doomed if you don't do so and so.
Malcolm X
Ralph Bunche, who is an internationally recognized and respected diplomat, can't stay in a hotel in Georgia, which means that no matter what the accomplishment, the intellectual, the academic, or professional level of a negro is, collectively he stands condemned.
Malcolm X
They don't stand for anything different in South Africa than America stands for. The only difference is over there they preach as well as practice apartheid. America preaches freedom and practices slavery.
Malcolm X
The thing that has made the so-called Negro in America fail, more than any other thing, is your, my, lack of knowledge concerning history. We know less about history than anything else.
Malcolm X
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad says number one, [Negro] must know - have a knowledge of himself. And this gives him confidence in himself. He - he has been brainwashed by the educational system that exists here in America to the point where he feels he was a savage in the jungle when he was - before he was brought here. And this destroys his morale.
Malcolm X
After four hundred years of slave labor, we have some back pay coming, a bill owed to us that must be collected.
Malcolm X
We don't think that we're begging for anything. We think we're demanding what is ours by right.
Malcolm X
I don't think that the objective of the American negro is white middle-class values because what are white middle-class values?
Malcolm X
All over this world people are standing up for freedom.
Malcolm X
I look at the problem of the twenty-two million Afro-Americans as being a problem that's so broad in scope that it's almost impossible for any organization to see it in its entirety.
Malcolm X
I might say this, that the problem of the, the solution for the Afro-American is two-fold - long-range and short-range.
Malcolm X
I think that the problem of the American negro goes beyond the principle of any organization whether it's a religious, political, or otherwise.
Malcolm X
An integrated cup of coffee isn't sufficient pay for four hundred years of slave labor.
Malcolm X
I don't think that anyone has been really created more by the white press than the civil right leaders.
Malcolm X
No, we are not anti-white. But we don't have time for the white man. The white man is on top already, the white man is the boss already ... He has first-class citizenship already. So you are wasting your time talking to the white man. We are working on our own people.
Malcolm X
You can't have capitalism without racism.
Malcolm X
When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the United States struck back. She didn't go and bomb - she bombed any part of Japan. She dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. Those people in Hiroshima probably hadn't even, some of them most of them hadn't even killed anybody.
Malcolm X
The only difference between [America] and South Africa, South Africa preaches separation and practices separation, America preaches integration and practices segregation. This is the only difference, they don't practice what they preach, whereas South Africa practices and preaches the same thing.
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
Any time you see someone more successful than you are, they are doing something you aren't.
Malcolm X
