The Chinese in this country aren't asking for integration.
Malcolm X
So early in my life, I had learned that if you want something, you had better make some noise.
Malcolm X
You spend so much time barking up the civil-rights tree, you don't even know there's a human-rights tree on the same floor.
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
The same rebellion, the same impatience, the same anger that exists in the hearts of the dark people in Africa and Asia is existing in the hearts and minds of 20 million black people in this country who have been just as thoroughly colonized as the people in Africa and Asia.
Malcolm X
They came up with a civil rights bill in 1964, supposedly to solve our problem, and after the bill was signed, three civil rights workers were murdered in cold blood. And the FBI head, Hoover, admits that they know who did it, they've known ever since it happened, and they've done nothing about it. Civil rights bill down the drain.
Malcolm X
The most disrespected person in America is the black woman. The most unprotected person in America is the black woman. The most neglected person in America is the black woman.
Malcolm X
They don't stand for anything different in South Africa than America stands for. The only difference is over there they preach as well as practice apartheid. America preaches freedom and practices slavery.
Malcolm X
All over this world people are standing up for freedom.
Malcolm X
When you aren't affiliated with anything, and then you look at something, you look at it with your eye to the best of your ability.
Malcolm X
This religion (Islam) recognizes all men as brothers. It accepts all human beings as equals before God, and as equal members in the Human Family of Mankind.
Malcolm X
My contention is that if you trace it back, it was the people of the East who brought them out of the Dark Ages, who brought about the period, or ushered in or initiated the atmosphere that brought into Europe the period known as the Renaissance.
Malcolm X
That's not a chip on my shoulder, that's your foot on my neck.
Malcolm X
I saw all races, all colors, blue eyed blonds to black skinned Africans in true brotherhood! In unity! Living as one! Worshiping as one! No segregationists, no liberals they would not have known how to interpret the meaning of those words
Malcolm X
When the snakes out in that field begin to realize that if one of their members get out of line, it's going to be detrimental to all of them, they'll keep that, perhaps they'll then take the necessary steps to keep their fellow snakes away from my chickens or away from my children if the responsibility is placed upon them.
Malcolm X
If you are not willing to pay the price for freedom, you don't deserve freedom.
Malcolm X
Our success in America will involve two circles: Black Nationalism and Islam–it will take BN [Black Nationalism] to make our people conscious of doing for self & then Islam will provide the spiritual guidance. BN [Black Nationalism] will link us to Africa and Islam will link us spiritually to Africa, Arabia & Asia.
Malcolm X
Negroes don't even like snails! What they're doing is proving they're integrated.
Malcolm X
To me, the thing that is worse than death is betrayal.
Malcolm X
I don't think you can having an opportunity to ride either on the front or the back or in the middle of someone else's bus doesn't dignify you.
Malcolm X
