Malcolm X
The Constitution of the United States of America clearly affirms the right of every American citizen to bear arms. And as Americans, we will not give up a single right guaranteed under the Constitution.

Ralph Bunche, who is an internationally recognized and respected diplomat, can't stay in a hotel in Georgia, which means that no matter what the accomplishment, the intellectual, the academic, or professional level of a negro is, collectively he stands condemned.
Malcolm X
You can't have capitalism without racism.
Malcolm X
The white race is doomed not because it's white but because of its misdeeds.

Why can't the black man have a God? What's so wrong when a black man says his God will protect him form his white foe? If Jehovah can slay Philistines for the Jews, why can't Allah slay crackers for the so-called Negro?
Malcolm X
If you're not ready to die for it, put the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.
Malcolm X
I don't mean go out and get violent but at the same time you should never be nonviolent unless you run into some nonviolence. I'm nonviolent with those who are nonviolent with me. But when you drop that violence on me, then you've made me go insane, and I'm not responsible for what I do.
Malcolm X
Nonviolence is fine as long as it works.
Malcolm X
Only a fool would let his enemy teach his children.
Malcolm X
You'd have civil war. You'd have a race war in this country.
Malcolm X
When I was in prison, I read an article - don't be shocked when I say I was in prison. You're still in prison. That's what America means: prison.
Malcolm X
Much of what I say might sound like it's stirring up trouble, but it's the truth!
Malcolm X
Once I was, yes. But now I have turned my direction away from anything that's racist.
Malcolm X
Forget the methods or the differences in methods. As long as we agree that the thing that the Afro-American wants and needs is recognition and respect as a human being.
Malcolm X
If you stick a knife nine inches into my back and pull it out three inches, that is not progress.
Malcolm X
When the Muslims deliver the indictment of the American system, it is not the white man per se that is being doomed.
Malcolm X
If you're born in America with a black skin, you're born in prison, and the masses of black people in America today are beginning to regard our plight or predicament in this society as one of a prison inmate.
Malcolm X
