The young whites, and blacks, too, are the only hope that America has, the rest of us have always been living in a lie.
Malcolm X
Western interests: imperialism, colonialism, exploitation, racism, and other negative -isms.
Malcolm X
We're not Americans, we're Africans who happen to be in America. We were kidnapped and brought here against our will from Africa. We didn't land on Plymouth Rock - that rock landed on us.
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.

There were tens of thousands of pilgrims, from all over the world. They were of all colors, from blue-eyed blonds to black-skinned Africans.

Malcolm X
When a man understands who he is, who God is, who the devil is... then he can pick himself up out of the gutter he can clean himself up and stand up like a man should before his God.
Malcolm X
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
A wise man can play the part of a clown, but a clown can't play the part of a wise man.

Only a man who is ashamed of what he is will marry out of his race.
Malcolm X
The white man is a devil. If he is not a devil, let him prove it!
Malcolm X
The Chinese in this country aren't asking for integration.
Malcolm X
One day, may we all meet together in the light of understanding.
Malcolm X
It's hard for anyone intelligent to be nonviolent. Everything in the universe does something when you start playing with his life, except the American Negro. He lays down and says, 'Beat me, daddy.'
Malcolm X
It's almost impossible to separate the actions, or it's also, it's almost impossible to separate the oppression and exploitation, criminal oppression and criminal exploitation of the American negro from the color of the skin of the person who is the oppressor or the exploiter.
Malcolm X
I have read where Abraham Lincoln said he wasn't interested in freeing the slaves.
Malcolm X
Always that if was there, which meant that the one who was doomed could avoid the doom if he would change his way of behaving.
Malcolm X
I was with Essien Udom in Nigeria.
Malcolm X
Why must I run against a Negro? We have had enough of Negroes running against and fighting with each other. The better bet is that we would put a Muslim candidate in the field against a devil, somebody who is against all we stand for.
Malcolm X
