More quotes by Malcolm X
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.
Malcolm X
I looked on the television the other night and saw them beating a Negro unmercifully in Mississippi. And this is the result of a brainwashing technique, a certain power structure in the American government has paid these Negro integrationist leaders to perpetuate among our people. But it's not a good thing, and it will never solve our problem.
Malcolm X
My suspicious nature is that there's something that [ Reverend ] Galamison, about Galamison that must have some good in it or some right in it.
Malcolm X
Nonviolence is his, is his method. Well, my objective is the same as [Martin Luther] King's.
Malcolm X
A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything.
Malcolm X
After four hundred years of slave labor, we have some back pay coming, a bill owed to us that must be collected.
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
Martin Luther King has made the Negro in America unnatural.
Malcolm X
I'm sorry to say that the subject I most disliked was mathematics. I have thought about it. I think the reason was that mathematics leaves no room for argument. If you made a mistake, that was all there was to it.
Malcolm X
If integration will get [black man] that [respect as the human being], all right. If segregation will get him that, all right. If separation will get him that, all right.But after he gets integration and he still doesn't have this dignity and this recognition as a human being, then his problem is still not solved.
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 common enemy is the white man.
Malcolm X
If you read the story of slavery and see the part that the Uncle Tom played in the plantation, and then you see how the white man today has changed his tactics, but he still occupies the same position, in that same context you find Uncle Tom. He has changed his tactics but he still occupies the same position.
Malcolm X
It is the attitude of the American white man that is making him stand condemned today before the eyes of the entire dark world and even before the eyes of the Europeans. It is his attitude, his haughty, holier-than-thou attitude.
Malcolm X
I had blind faith in him. My faith in Elijah Muhammad was more blind and more uncompromising than any faith that any man has ever had for another man. And so I didn't try and see him as he actually was.
Malcolm X
A segregated school system produces children who, when they graduate, they do with crippled minds.
Malcolm X
I refer to a negro politician as a negro who is selected by Negroes and who is backed by Negroes.
Malcolm X
Do something for yourself, and then you will be recognized by the entire world as a man who has done for himself what others have done for themselves.
Malcolm X
A Negro just can't be whipped by somebody white and return with his head up in the neighborhood, especially in those days, when sports and, to a lesser extent show business, were the only fields open to Negroes, and when the ring was the only place a Negro could whip a white man and not be lynched.
Malcolm X
Respect me, or put me to death.
Malcolm X
