Those who would hunt a man need to remember that a jungle also contains those who hunt the hunters.
Malcolm X
The cornerstones of this country's operation are economic and political strength and power. The black man doesn't have the economic strength - and it will take time for him to build it. But right now the American black man has the political strength and power to change his destiny overnight.

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
[Black nationalism] is not designed to make the black man reevaluate the white man--you know him already--but to make the black man re-evaluate himself. Don't change the white man's mind you can't change his mind. And that whole thing about appealing to the moral conscience of America--America's conscience is bankrupt.
Malcolm X
Only a fool would let his enemy teach his children.
