More quotes by Malcolm X

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
You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom.
Malcolm X
If the government can't get the black man justice, then it's time for the black man to get some justice for himself.
Malcolm X
If it's necessary to form a Black Nationalist army, we'll form a Black Nationalist army. It'll be ballot or the bullet. It'll be liberty or it'll be death.
Malcolm X
Reverend Galamison is fighting a hard battle against great opposition, and I admire a man who fights a hard battle against great opposition.
Malcolm X
I for one believe that if you give people a thorough understanding of what confronts them and the basic causes that produce it, they'll create their own program, and when the people create a program, you get action.
Malcolm X
I have more respect for a man who lets me know where he stands, even if he's wrong, than the one who comes up like an angel and is nothing but a devil.
Malcolm X
I was going through the hardest thing, also the greatest thing, for any human being to do to accept that which is already within you, and around you.
Malcolm X
Jews who have been guilty of exploiting the black people in America, economically, civically, and otherwise, hide behind - hide their guilt by accusing The Honorable Elijah Muhammad of being anti-Semitic, simply because he teaches our people to go into business for ourselves and take over the economic leadership in our own community.
Malcolm X
You have, you can only answer it this way: by turning it around. Can the negro - who is the victim of the system - escape the collective stigma that is placed upon all Negroes in this country?
Malcolm X
To me, the thing that is worse than death is betrayal.
Malcolm X
How can you thank a man for giving you what's already yours? How then can you thank him for giving you only part of what's already yours?
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
I refer to a negro politician as a negro who is selected by Negroes and who is backed by Negroes.
Malcolm X
He [liberal white person] may stand with you through thin, but not thick when the chips are down, you'll find that as fixed in him as his bone structure is his sometimes subconscious conviction that he's better than anybody black.
Malcolm X
We were truly all the same (brothers) - because their belief in one God had removed the white from their minds, the white from their behavior, and the white from their attitude.
Malcolm X
We declare our right on this earth...to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence by any means necessary.
Malcolm X
They call me a teacher, a fomenter of violence. I would say point blank, That is a lie. I'm not for wanton violence, I'm for justice.
Malcolm X
That is a lie. I'm not for wanton violence, I'm for justice.
Malcolm X
