Malcolm X
22 million African-Americans - that's what we are - Africans who are in America.
Malcolm X
What is a Dixiecrat? A Democrat. A Dixiecrat is nothing but a Democrat in disguise.
Malcolm X
Why can't the black man have a God? What's so wrong when a black man says his God will protect him form his white foe? If Jehovah can slay Philistines for the Jews, why can't Allah slay crackers for the so-called Negro?

So early in my life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.
Malcolm X
We won't organize any black man to be a Democrat or a Republican because both of them have sold us out. Both of them have sold us out both parties have sold us out. Both parties are racist, and the Democratic Party is more racist than the Republican Party.
Malcolm X
That's not a chip on my shoulder, that's your foot on my neck.
Malcolm X
As long as the factories are in the hands of the whites, the housing is in the hands of the whites, the school system is in the hands of the whites, you have a situation where the blacks are constantly begging the whites can they use this or can they use that. That's not any kind of equality of opportunity, nor does it lend toward one's dignity.
Malcolm X
If [politician] is not fulfilling his function, they then can set up the machinery to remove him from that position by whatever means necessary.
Malcolm X
I'm with an old family was the euphemism used to dignify the professions of white folks' cooks and maids who talked so affectedly among their own kind in Roxbury [Massachusetts] that you couldn't even understand them.
Malcolm X
Negroes just can't judge each other according to color, because we are all colors, all complexions.
Malcolm X
Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.
Malcolm X
Even after the child, the life of the black child was saved, but that same white man will have to toss him right back into the discriminate, into discrimination, segregation, and these other things.
Malcolm X
Stumbling is not falling.
Malcolm X
Jews who have been guilty of exploiting the black people in America, economically, civically, and otherwise, hide behind - hide their guilt by accusing The Honorable Elijah Muhammad of being anti-Semitic, simply because he teaches our people to go into business for ourselves and take over the economic leadership in our own community.
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
