Malcolm X
God is going to punish the white man for his misdeeds toward black people.
Malcolm X
This is why integration will not work. It assumes that the two races, black and white, are equal and can be made to live as one. This is not true.
Malcolm X
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
You can't hate your origin and not end up hating yourself. You can't hate Africa and not hate yourself.
Malcolm X
I think that Nehru probably was a good man, although I didn't go for it. I don't go for anybody who is passive. I don't go for anybody who advocates passivism or peaceful suffering in any form whatsoever. I don't go for it.
Malcolm X
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
You have to be very careful introducing the truth to the black man, who has never previously heard the truth about himself. The black brother is so brainwashed that he may reject the truth when he first hears it. You have to drop a little bit on him at a time, and wait a while to let that sink in before advancing to the next step
Malcolm X
Of all our studies, history is best qualified to reward our research. And when you see that you've got problems, all you have to do is examine the historic method used all over the world by others who have problems similar to yours. And once you see how they got theirs straight, then you know how you can get yours straight.
Malcolm X
Whenever I walk the street and see people ready to get with it, that's my reward.
Malcolm X
I looked on the television the other night and saw them beating a Negro unmercifully in Mississippi. And this is the result of a brainwashing technique, a certain power structure in the American government has paid these Negro integrationist leaders to perpetuate among our people. But it's not a good thing, and it will never solve our problem.
Malcolm X
I am a Muslim and . . . my religion makes me be against all forms of racism. It keeps me from judging any man by the color of his skin. It teaches me to judge him by his deeds .
Malcolm X
Even as a Muslim minister in the Muslim movement, I have always said that I would work with any organization.
Malcolm X
I do not pretend to be a divine man, but I do believe in divine guidance, divine power, and in the fulfillment of divine prophecy. I am not educated, nor am I an expert in any particular field but I am sincere, and my sincerity is my credentials.
Malcolm X
Wyatt [ Walker] doesn't say that as much as Whitney Young does.
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
I have more respect for a man who lets me know where he stands, even if he's wrong, than the one who comes up like an angel and is nothing but a devil.
Malcolm X
The only persons who really changed history are those who changed men's thinking about themselves.
Malcolm X
I Used the Word 'Negro' and I was Firmly Corrected
Malcolm X
Only a man who is ashamed of what he is will marry out of his race.
