More quotes by Malcolm X
Most of those Negroes have been given those jobs by the white political machine, and they serve no other function other than to, as window dressing.
Malcolm X
If you stick a knife nine inches into my back and pull it out three inches, that is not progress.
Malcolm X
I have often reflected upon the new vistas that reading has opened to me. I knew right there in prison that reading had changed forever the course of my life. As I see it today, the ability to read awoke inside me some long dormant craving to be mentally alive.
Malcolm X
Those who would hunt a man need to remember that a jungle also contains those who hunt the hunters.
Malcolm X
Negroes don't even like snails! What they're doing is proving they're integrated.
Malcolm X
I'm not going to sit at your table and watch you eat, with nothing on my plate, and call myself a diner. Sitting at the table doesn't make you a diner.
Malcolm X
The Negro's so-called 'revolt' is merely an asking to be accepted into the existing system!
Malcolm X
Daring to reach, to climb, to crawl, to scratch, to get back up when you've been knocked down, to push forward - ever forward - to forgive. It means sacrificing everything if necessary, to carve out a place for your own existence. It means living.
Malcolm X
The same thing that Uncle Tom did on the plantation before [Abe] Lincoln issued the so-called Emancipation Proclamation.I have no thinking on the matter. But he's teaching the black people to suffer peacefully, patiently, until the white man makes up his mind that you're a human being the same as he.
Malcolm X
When the whites themselves are attacked, they believe in defending themselves and things of that sort.
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
I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land--every color, and class, and rank high officials and the beggar alike--all snored in the same language.
Malcolm X
When you aren't affiliated with anything, and then you look at something, you look at it with your eye to the best of your ability.
Malcolm X
The white man is going to keep you integration-minded Negroes cooped up here in America, and when you discover that the white man is a trickster, a devil, that he has no intentions of integrating, then you Negroes will run wild.
Malcolm X
The only minority in America that's asking for integration is the so-called Negro, primarily because he is inferior, not inherently inferior, but he's economically, socially, politically inferior.
Malcolm X
...the collective white man had acted like a devil in virtually every contact he had with the world's collective non-white man.
Malcolm X
A man who believes in freedom will do anything under the sun to acquire, or preserve his freedom.
Malcolm X
The problem [ of the twenty-two million Afro-Americans] is so broad that it's going to take the inner working of all organizations.
Malcolm X
To say it is not practical, one has to also admit that integration is not practical.
Malcolm X
Even as a Muslim minister in the Muslim movement, I have always said that I would work with any organization.
Malcolm X
