More quotes by Malcolm X

Malcolm X
That is a lie. I'm not for wanton violence, I'm for justice.
Malcolm X
I just don't believe that when people are being unjustly oppressed that they should let someone else set rules for them by which they can come out from under that oppression.
Malcolm X
The problem of the negro is so criminal that many individuals and organizations are going to have to sacrifice what they call their organizational principles if someone comes up with a solution that will really solve the problem.
Malcolm X
The young whites, and blacks, too, are the only hope that America has, the rest of us have always been living in a lie.
Malcolm X
I had blind faith in him. My faith in Elijah Muhammad was more blind and more uncompromising than any faith that any man has ever had for another man. And so I didn't try and see him as he actually was.
Malcolm X
The political philosophy of black nationalism means that the black man should control the politics and the politicians in his own community no more.
Malcolm X
My faith in God is such that I am not afraid.
Malcolm X
Since the main problem that American, the Afro- Americans have is a lack of cultural identity. It is necessary to teach [people] that they had some type of identity, culture, civilization before they were brought here.
Malcolm X
