More quotes by Malcolm X
Martin Luther King has made the Negro in America unnatural.
Malcolm X
[ Uncle Sam] is not sending 20 billion dollars to South America because he loves those people down here. He's sending it - sending it to them because he needs their friendship, he needs their allegion - their allegiance.
Malcolm X
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. But we were all participating in the same ritual, displaying a spirit of unity and brotherhood that my experiences in America had led me to believe never could exist between the white and non-white.
Malcolm X
We are about to have a racial explosion.
Malcolm X
We need more light about each other. Light creates understanding, understanding creates love, love creates patience, and patience creates unity.
Malcolm X

Malcolm X
The main part of the tree is the root, and the root is always beneath the ground. It never is brought out into the light.

If you're not ready to die for it, put the word 'freedom' out of your vocabulary.
Malcolm X
It is only the Negro leadership, the bourgeois, hand-picked, handful of Negroes who think that they're going to get some kind of respect, recognition, or protection from the Government.
Malcolm X
White individuals that have been going to jail. Segregation still exists discrimination still exists. A few isolated white people whose individual acts are designed to eliminate this, that or, or the next thing but, yet, it is never eliminated is in no way impressive to me.
Malcolm X
They asked if I knew what 'conscientious objector' meant. I told them that when the white man asked me to go off somewhere and fight and maybe die to preserve the way the white man treated the black man in America, then my conscience made me object.
Malcolm X
I'm with an old family was the euphemism used to dignify the professions of white folks' cooks and maids who talked so affectedly among their own kind in Roxbury [Massachusetts] that you couldn't even understand them.
Malcolm X
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad is teaching the black man, you're a human man.All you have to do is dignify yourself. You don't have to wait for any white man to recognize you. Recognize yourself. Love each other. Practice harmony and brotherhood among your own kind.
Malcolm X
America has allowed white people to kill and brutalize those they don't like.
Malcolm X
It has been nine years since the Supreme Court decision outlawing segregated schools, yet less than ten per cent of the Negro students in the South are in integrated schools. That isn't integration, that's tokenism!
Malcolm X
Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.
Malcolm X
Even as a Muslim minister in the Muslim movement, I have always said that I would work with any organization.
Malcolm X
Most of the negro leaders who get the support of the power structure end up being against [Reverend] Galamison.
Malcolm X
At this point I hadn't yet gotten deep into the historic condition that negroes in this country are confronted with, but at that point in my prison studies I, I read, I studied Islam as a religion more so than as I later come to know it in its connection with the plight or problem of Negroes in this country.
Malcolm X
Right now, in every big city ghetto, tens of thousands of yesterday's and today's school dropouts are keeping body and soul together by some form of hustling in the same way I did.
