More quotes by Malcolm X
When the Muslims deliver the indictment of the American system, it is not the white man per se that is being doomed.
Malcolm X
22 million African-Americans - that's what we are - Africans who are in America.
Malcolm X
When you have to pass a law to make a man let me have a house, or you have to pass a law to make a man let me go to school, or you have to pass a law to make a man let me walk down the street, you have to enforce that law and you'd have to be living actually in a police state. It would take a police state in this country.
Malcolm X
If [politician] is not fulfilling his function, they then can set up the machinery to remove him from that position by whatever means necessary.

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
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
Muhammad teaches us the knowledge of our own selves, and of our own people. He cleans us up-morally, mentally and spiritually
Malcolm X
If you stick a knife nine inches into my back and pull it out three inches, that is not progress.
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
As bad as I was, as much trouble and worry as I caused my mother, I loved her.
Malcolm X
Allah always gives you signs, when you are with Him, that He is with you.
Malcolm X
The black people of America have been victims of violence at the hands of the white men for four hundred years, and following the ignorant Negro preachers, we have thought that it was godlike to turn the other cheek to the brute that was brutalizing us.
Malcolm X
Integration will not bring a man back from the grave.
Malcolm X
Many of them who belong to these countries that were former colonial powers have racist attitudes, but their racist attitude is never displayed to the degree that the America's attitude of racism is displayed. Never.
Malcolm X
God is going to punish the white man for his misdeeds toward black people.
Malcolm X
Among Negroes we have Negroes who are as white as some white people. Still there's a difference.
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
