The only minority in America that's asking for integration is the so-called Negro, primarily because he is inferior, not inherently inferior, but he's economically, socially, politically inferior.

More quotes by Malcolm X
Now, you integration-minded Negroes are trying to force yourselves on your former slave master, trying to make him accept you in his drawing room you want to hang out with his women rather than the women of your own kind.
Malcolm X
Until the image of the black man in the mind of the black man has been changed, there will always be delinquency, parental and juvenile. The idea is not to change the attitude of the white man to the black man but to change the attitude of the black man to himself.
Malcolm X
Soon now, as the Negro awakens a little more and sees the vise that he's in, sees the bag that he's in, sees the real game that he's in, then the Negro's going to develop a new tactic.
Malcolm X
If you read the story of slavery and see the part that the Uncle Tom played in the plantation, and then you see how the white man today has changed his tactics, but he still occupies the same position, in that same context you find Uncle Tom. He has changed his tactics but he still occupies the same position.
Malcolm X
There has to be something wrong when a man or a woman leaves his own people and marries somebody of another kind.
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
Stumbling is not falling.
Malcolm X
We were truly all the same (brothers) - because their belief in one God had removed the white from their minds, the white from their behavior, and the white from their attitude.
Malcolm X
All over this world people are standing up for freedom.
Malcolm X
[My half-sister] Ella and I always were much closer as basic types we're dominant people, and [my other half-sister] Mary has always been mild and quiet, almost shy.
Malcolm X
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.
Malcolm X
You have to be very careful introducing the truth to the black man, who has never previously heard the truth about himself. The black brother is so brainwashed that he may reject the truth when he first hears it. You have to drop a little bit on him at a time, and wait a while to let that sink in before advancing to the next step
Malcolm X
How can anyone be against love?
Malcolm X
Among Negroes we have Negroes who are as white as some white people. Still there's a difference.
Malcolm X
A man who believes in freedom will do anything under the sun to acquire, or preserve his freedom.
Malcolm X
All of the civil rights problems during the past years have created a situation where America right now is moving toward a police state. You can't have anything otherwise. So that's your supposition.
Malcolm X
If I can't run my neighborhood you won't want me in your neighborhood.
Malcolm X
Wyatt [ Walker] doesn't say that as much as Whitney Young does.
Malcolm X
Anytime there's a fire in a negro community and it's burning out of control, you send any one of them, send Whitney Young in to put it out.
Malcolm X
I go for Mao Tse-tung much more than, than Nehru because I think that Nehru brought his country up in a beggar's role.
