Malcolm X
We're all in the same boat and we all are going to catch the same hell from the same man.
Malcolm X
Anytime you tell a man to turn the other cheek or to be nonviolent in the face of a violent enemy, you're making that man defenseless. You're robbing him of his God-given right to defend himself.
Malcolm X
The Negro's so-called 'revolt' is merely an asking to be accepted into the existing system!
Malcolm X
If I go home and someone, and my child has blood running down her leg and someone tells me that a snake bit her, I'm going out and kill the snake. And when I find the snake, I'm not going to look and see if he has blood on his jaws.
Malcolm X
The only way the two can have equal job opportunities is if black people have factories as, as well as white people have factories.

Malcolm X
Power never takes a back step only in the face of more power.
Malcolm X

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
Wyatt Walker can walk through Harlem. No one would know him.
Malcolm X
My contention is that if you trace it back, it was the people of the East who brought them out of the Dark Ages, who brought about the period, or ushered in or initiated the atmosphere that brought into Europe the period known as the Renaissance.
Malcolm X
I'm for truth, no matter who tells it.
Malcolm X
We are fighting for the right to live as free humans in this society. In fact, we are actually fighting for rights that are even greater than civil rights and that is human rights.
Malcolm X
As long as the factories are in the hands of the whites, the housing is in the hands of the whites, the school system is in the hands of the whites, you have a situation where the blacks are constantly begging the whites can they use this or can they use that. That's not any kind of equality of opportunity, nor does it lend toward one's dignity.
Malcolm X
Growing is the result of learning.
Malcolm X
Among Negroes we have Negroes who are as white as some white people. Still there's a difference.
Malcolm X
I for one believe that if you give people a thorough understanding of what confronts them and the basic causes that produce it, they'll create their own program, and when the people create a program, you get action.
Malcolm X
Respect me, or put me to death.
Malcolm X
