More quotes by Malcolm X

The cornerstones of this country's operation are economic and political strength and power. The black man doesn't have the economic strength - and it will take time for him to build it. But right now the American black man has the political strength and power to change his destiny overnight.

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.

Muhammad teaches us the knowledge of our own selves, and of our own people. He cleans us up-morally, mentally and spiritually
Malcolm X

Among Negroes we have Negroes who are as white as some white people. Still there's a difference.
Malcolm X
Image
You don't disarm any white community by confining yourself to any particular method. If you want freedom, then you should get freedom like Patrick Henry said, by whatever method is necessary.
Malcolm X
Image
Right now, in every big city ghetto, tens of thousands of yesterday's and today's school dropouts are keeping body and soul together by some form of hustling in the same way I did.
Malcolm X

An integrated cup of coffee isn't sufficient pay for four hundred years of slave labor.
Malcolm X

When the Muslims deliver the indictment of the American system, it is not the white man per se that is being doomed.
Malcolm X
Image
At this point I hadn't yet gotten deep into the historic condition that negroes in this country are confronted with, but at that point in my prison studies I, I read, I studied Islam as a religion more so than as I later come to know it in its connection with the plight or problem of Negroes in this country.
Malcolm X

It's liberty or it's death. It's freedom for everybody or freedom for nobody.
Malcolm X

Like Samson, I am ready to pull down the white man's temple, knowing full well that I will be destroyed by the falling rubble.
Malcolm X

You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.
