More quotes by Malcolm X

Image
[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.

Anytime you live in a society supposedly based upon law and it doesn't enforce its own laws because the color of a man's skin happens to be wrong, then I say those people are justified to resort to any means necessary to bring about justice when the government can't give them justice.

Negroes don't even like snails! What they're doing is proving they're integrated.
Malcolm X
Image
The white man has created a devil, to bring chaos upon this earth.
Malcolm X
Image
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.

Even as a Muslim minister in the Muslim movement, I have always said that I would work with any organization.

The white man is going to keep you integration-minded Negroes cooped up here in America, and when you discover that the white man is a trickster, a devil, that he has no intentions of integrating, then you Negroes will run wild.

A hundred years ago the American white men used to put on a white sheet and use a bloodhound against Negroes. Today they have taken off the white sheet and put on police uniforms and traded in the bloodhounds for police dogs, and they're still doing the same thing.

One of the tricks of the west is to use or create images, they create images of a person who doesn't go along with their views and then they make certain that this image is distasteful, and then anything that that person has to say from thereon, from thereon in, is rejected.

When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the United States struck back. She didn't go and bomb - she bombed any part of Japan. She dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. Those people in Hiroshima probably hadn't even, some of them most of them hadn't even killed anybody.
Malcolm X
Image
I believe in the brotherhood of all men, but I don't believe in wasting brotherhood on anyone who doesn't want to practice it with me. Brotherhood is a two-way street.

You can always chase a dream but it will not count if you never catch it.
Malcolm X
Image
What I want to know is how the white man, with the blood of black people dripping off his fingers, can have the audacity to be asking black people [why] they hate him?
Malcolm X
Image
Once I was, yes. But now I have turned my direction away from anything that's racist.
Malcolm X

If a white man puts his arm around me voluntarily, that's brotherhood.
Malcolm X

I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against.

Armed with the knowledge of our past, we can with confidence charter a course for our future. Culture is an indispensable weapon in the freedom struggle. We must take hold of it and forge the future with the past.
Malcolm X
Image
No religion will ever make me forget the condition of our people in this country...No God, no religion, no nothing will make me forget it until it stops, until it's elimitnated. I want to make that point clear.
Malcolm X
Image
The mental flexibility of the wise man permits him to keep an open mind and enables him to readjust himself whenever it becomes necessary for a change.

I'll say nothing against him. At one time the whites in the United States called him a racialist, and extremist, and a Communist. Then the Black Muslims came along and the whites thanked the Lord for Martin Luther King.
