One of the first things I think young people, especially nowadays, should learn is how to see for yourself and listen for yourself and think for yourself.
Malcolm X

Instead of working for white man and helping him hold up a government that continues to suppress us socially and, and exploit us economically and oppress us politically, let us go and enter our own territory and use our own talents to uplift ourselves by our own bootstraps. And then he will recognize us for what we are.

The political philosophy of black nationalism means that the black man should control the politics and the politicians in his own community no more.
Malcolm X

[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.

I am and always will be a Muslim. My religion is Islam.
Malcolm X

No, we are not anti-white. But we don't have time for the white man. The white man is on top already, the white man is the boss already ... He has first-class citizenship already. So you are wasting your time talking to the white man. We are working on our own people.

Martin Luther King has made the Negro in America unnatural.
Malcolm X
Image
Those who stay here can help those who go back, and those who go back can help those who stay here in the same way that when Jews go to Israel, the Jews in America help those in Israel and the Jews in Israel help those in America.
