More quotes by Malcolm X

Image
I could see from this, that perhaps if white Americans could accept the Oneness of God, then perhaps, too, they could accept in reality the Oneness of Man - and cease to measure, and hinder, and harm others in terms of their differences in color.
Malcolm X
Image
The white man is by nature a devil and must be destroyed.
Malcolm X
Image
To me, the thing that is worse than death is betrayal.
Malcolm X
Image
The man was a deceiver. He was deceitful and I will never bite my tongue in saying that. I don't think he was anything but a politician, and he used Negroes to get elected and to get votes.
Malcolm X

When you hear me say by any means necessary, I mean exactly that. I believe in anything that is necessary to correct unjust conditions-political, economic, social, physical, anything that is necessary.
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.
Malcolm X
Image
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.

Stumbling is not falling.
Malcolm X

I'm for truth, no matter who tells it.
Malcolm X
Image
Anytime you tell a man to turn the other cheek or to be nonviolent in the face of a violent enemy, you're making that man defenseless. You're robbing him of his God-given right to defend himself.

Stumbling isn't falling.

Don't condemn if you see a person has a dirty glass of water, just show them the clean glass of water that you have. When they inspect it, you won't have to say that yours is better. -said by Elijah Muhammad to Malcolm X
