More quotes by Malcolm X
The man was a deceiver. He was deceitful and I will never bite my tongue in saying that. I don't think he was anything but a politician, and he used Negroes to get elected and to get votes.
Malcolm X
Nonviolence is his, is his method. Well, my objective is the same as [Martin Luther] King's.
Malcolm X
Until the white man in America sits down and talks with The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, he won't even know what the race problem - what makes the race problem what it is.
Malcolm X
Children have a lesson adults should learn, to not be ashamed of failing, but to get up and try again. Most of us adults are so afraid, so cautious, so 'safe,' and therefore so shrinking and rigid and afraid that it is why so many humans fail. Most middle-aged adults have resigned themselves to failure.
Malcolm X
He [liberal white person] may stand with you through thin, but not thick when the chips are down, you'll find that as fixed in him as his bone structure is his sometimes subconscious conviction that he's better than anybody black.
Malcolm X
The white race is doomed not because it's white but because of its misdeeds.
Malcolm X
[People] earn extra money [in prison] selling contraband, dope, and things of that sort to the inmates, and so that really it's an exploiter.
Malcolm X
The American Negro has been entirely brainwashed from ever seeing or thinking of himself, as he should, as a part of the non-white peoples of the world.
Malcolm X
Wyatt Walker can walk through Harlem. No one would know him.
Malcolm X
Actually we are Muslims because we believe in the religion of Islam.
Malcolm X
After you get your freedom, your enemy will respect you.
Malcolm X
I have read where Abraham Lincoln said he wasn't interested in freeing the slaves.
Malcolm X
As bad as I was, as much trouble and worry as I caused my mother, I loved her.
Malcolm X
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.
Malcolm X
America's most dangerous and threatening black man is the one who has been kept sealed up by the Northerner in the black ghettos - the Northern white power structure's system to keep talking democracy while keeping the black man out of sight somewhere, around the corner.
Malcolm X
We cannot think of being acceptable to others until we have first proven acceptable to ourselves.
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
What does a black man look like begging for a cup of coffee in a white restaurant, and doesn't have a job to back up his - to pay for it when, when - when he does get the coffee? It's putting the cart before the horse.
Malcolm X
Everybody shall be accepted no matter what they stand for, you are not always going to agree on their faith.
Malcolm X
The only difference between [America] and South Africa, South Africa preaches separation and practices separation, America preaches integration and practices segregation. This is the only difference, they don't practice what they preach, whereas South Africa practices and preaches the same thing.
