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.
Malcolm X
You have, you can only answer it this way: by turning it around. Can the negro - who is the victim of the system - escape the collective stigma that is placed upon all Negroes in this country?
Malcolm X

Malcolm X
[Islam] is not measured by the color of his skin.
Malcolm X
When the thing is finally sparked, the white man is not there - he's gone. The merchant is not there, the landlord is not there, the one they consider to be the enemy isn't there. So, they knock at his property. This is what makes them knock down the store windows and set fire to things, and things of that sort.
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
... Any county's moral strength, or its moral weakness, is quickly measurable by the street attire and attitude of its women - especially its young women. Wherever ... spiritual values have been submerged, if not destroyed, by an emphasis upon ... material things, invariably the women reflect it.
Malcolm X
Much of what I say might sound like it's stirring up trouble, but it's the truth!
Malcolm X
I just don't believe that when people are being unjustly oppressed that they should let someone else set rules for them by which they can come out from under that oppression.
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
What is a Dixiecrat? A Democrat. A Dixiecrat is nothing but a Democrat in disguise.
Malcolm X
History is a people's memory, and without a memory, man is demoted to the lower animals.
Malcolm X
The problem [ of the twenty-two million Afro-Americans] is so broad that it's going to take the inner working of all organizations.
Malcolm X
The day that the black man takes an uncompromising step and realizes that he's within his rights, when his own freedom is being jeopardized, to use any means necessary to bring about his freedom or put a halt to that injustice, I don't think he'll be by himself.
Malcolm X
So over you is the greatest enemy a man can have — and that is fear. I know some of you are afraid to listen to the truth — you have been raised on fear and lies. But I am going to preach to you the truth until you are free of that fear...
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
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.
Malcolm X
