The government is responsible for the violence, as long as they don't stop it. And if we have to get violent to protect ourselves, then it's the government that should be charged with the crime, because we're only upholding a law that they've been unable to uphold.
Malcolm X
Image
The Negro fought and bled and died in every war the white man waged, and he still won't give you justice. You nursed his baby and cleaned behind his wife, and he still won't give you freedom you turned the other cheek while he lynched you and raped your women, but he still won't give you equality.

Much of what I say might sound bitter, but it's the truth. Much of what I say might sound like it's stirring up trouble, but it's the truth. Much of what I say might sound like its hate, but it's the truth
Malcolm X

It's liberty or it's death. It's freedom for everybody or freedom for nobody.
Malcolm X
Image
One of my brothers read a lot. His head was forever in some book.

An integrated cup of coffee isn't sufficient pay for four hundred years of slave labor.
Malcolm X
Image
Not long ago, an English writer telephoned me from London, asking questions. One was What's your alma mater? I told him, Books. You will never catch me with a free fifteen minutes in which I'm not studying something I feel might be able to help the black man.

One day, may we all meet together in the light of understanding.
Malcolm X

I don't think that anyone has been really created more by the white press than the civil right leaders.
Malcolm X
Image
What I want to know is how the white man, with the blood of black people dripping off his fingers, can have the audacity to be asking black people [why] they hate him?
Malcolm X
Image
You don't have a peaceful revolution. You don't have a turn-the-cheek revolution. There's no such thing as a nonviolent revolution.
Malcolm X
Image
People involved in a revolution don't become part of the system they destroy the system... The Negro revolution is no revolution because it condemns the system and then asks the system it has condemned to accept them.
