More quotes by Malcolm X

Image
The thing that has made the so-called Negro in America fail, more than any other thing, is your, my, lack of knowledge concerning history. We know less about history than anything else.
Malcolm X
Image
Racism is a human problem and a crime that is absolutely so ghastly that a person who is fighting racism is well within his rights to fight against it by any means necessary until it is eliminated.
Malcolm X
Image
Armed with the knowledge of our past, we can with confidence charter a course for our future. Culture is an indispensable weapon in the freedom struggle. We must take hold of it and forge the future with the past.
Malcolm X
Image
Like Samson, I am ready to pull down the white man's temple, knowing full well that I will be destroyed by the falling rubble.
Malcolm X
Image
White individuals that have been going to jail. Segregation still exists discrimination still exists. A few isolated white people whose individual acts are designed to eliminate this, that or, or the next thing but, yet, it is never eliminated is in no way impressive to me.
Malcolm X
Image
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
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
As bad as I was, as much trouble and worry as I caused my mother, I loved her.
Malcolm X
Image
If you have no critics you'll likely have no success.
Malcolm X
Image
You have, you can only answer it this way: by turning it around. Can the negro - who is the victim of the system - escape the collective stigma that is placed upon all Negroes in this country?
Malcolm X
Image
Give us some separate territory in this country where our people can go and do something for ourselves. And provide us with everything that we need to keep that new territory going, until we are self-sufficient.
Malcolm X
Image
[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
Image
In stating that the idea of a separate state is not practical, I'm also stating that the idea of integration, forced integration, as they've been making an effort to do in this country for the past years, is also just as impractical.
Malcolm X
Image
I don't even call it violence when it's in self defense I call it intelligence.
Malcolm X
Image
I know that I will not die until my time comes.
Malcolm X
Image
The white man is too intelligent to let someone else come and gain control of the economy of his community. But you will let anyone come in and take control of the economy of your community, control the housing, control the education, control the jobs, control the businesses, under the pre-text that you want to integrate. No, you outta your mind.
Malcolm X
Image
Power never takes a back step only in the face of more power.
Malcolm X
Image
A new world order is in the making, and it is up to us to prepare ourselves that we may take our rightful place in it.
Malcolm X
Image
Do something for yourself, and then you will be recognized by the entire world as a man who has done for himself what others have done for themselves.
Malcolm X
Image
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.
