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?

More quotes by Malcolm X
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad says number one, [Negro] must know - have a knowledge of himself. And this gives him confidence in himself. He - he has been brainwashed by the educational system that exists here in America to the point where he feels he was a savage in the jungle when he was - before he was brought here. And this destroys his morale.
Malcolm X
No one should advocate any peaceful suffering to black people, unless the black - white man is going to practice the same kind of peaceful suffering.
Malcolm X
Only the whites in the South aren't hypocritical about it. You don't find any more inter - there is just as much social intermixing in the South as there - between the races as there is in the North. Only they - in the South they let you know - where they stand, and in the North they take a hypocritical approach or attitude or reaction.
Malcolm X
It's liberty or it's death. It's freedom for everybody or freedom for nobody.
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
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
The only way the two can have equal job opportunities is if black people have factories as, as well as white people have factories.
Malcolm X
In stating that the idea of a separate state is not practical, I'm also stating that the idea of integration, forced integration, as they've been making an effort to do in this country for the past years, is also just as impractical.
Malcolm X
Only in this form of separation the black man is exploited. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad says that we should be separate, all right, but in this separate state or separate existence, the black man should be given the opportunity and the incentive to do for himself what the white man has done for himself.
Malcolm X
As I say, if we bring up religion we'll have differences we'll have arguments and we'll never be able to get together.
Malcolm X
To me, political action involves making the politician who represents us know that he either produces or he is out, and he's out one way or another.
Malcolm X
You don't integrate with a sinking ship.
Malcolm X
They don't stand for anything different in South Africa than America stands for. The only difference is over there they preach as well as practice apartheid. America preaches freedom and practices slavery.
Malcolm X
You have a race problem that must be solved, or else you will alienate every non-white person on this earth within the next few years, or within the next few months.
Malcolm X
Everybody shall be accepted no matter what they stand for, you are not always going to agree on their faith.
Malcolm X
I asked inmate in New York, Warden Fay at that time if, if it didn't make a better inmate out of the Negroes who accepted it and he said, Yes. So I asked him then what was it about it that he considered to be so danger, and he, dangerous, and he pointed out that it was the cohesiveness that it produced among the inmates. They stuck together.
Malcolm X
Sometimes you have to pick the gun up to put the Gun down.
Malcolm X
Whenever any group can vote in a bloc, and decide the outcome of elections, and it fails to do this, then that group is politically sick.
Malcolm X
I'm not going to sit at your table and watch you eat, with nothing on my plate, and call myself a diner. Sitting at the table doesn't make you a diner.
Malcolm X
All over this world people are standing up for freedom.
