We are about to have a racial explosion.
Malcolm X
When I was in prison, I read an article - don't be shocked when I say I was in prison. You're still in prison. That's what America means: prison.
Malcolm X
That's not a chip on my shoulder, that's your foot on my neck.
Malcolm X
Like Samson, I am ready to pull down the white man's temple, knowing full well that I will be destroyed by the falling rubble.
Malcolm X
Western interests: imperialism, colonialism, exploitation, racism, and other negative -isms.
Malcolm X
The only thing power respects, is power.
Malcolm X
Everybody has a God and believes that his God will deliver him and protect him from his enemies!
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
New York white youth were killing victims that was a 'sociological' problem. But when black youth killed somebody, the power structure was looking to hang somebody.
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
Among Negroes we have Negroes who are as white as some white people. Still there's a difference.
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
Stumbling is not falling.
Malcolm X
It's easy. [Black man] is - he's separate already. The fact that you have Harlem, the fact that you have the Negro ghetto and the so-called Negro slum, he's already separate.
Malcolm X
You have the upper class Negroes who are the modern day Uncle Toms or the 20th century Uncle Toms. They don't wear a handkerchief anymore. They wear top hats. They're called Doctor, they're called - Reverend, but they're still - they play the same role today that Uncle Tom played on the plantation.
Malcolm X
The only minority in America that's asking for integration is the so-called Negro, primarily because he is inferior, not inherently inferior, but he's economically, socially, politically inferior.
Malcolm X
I had one warden tell me since I've been out, and I visited an inmate in prison right here in New York, Warden Fay up at Green Haven. I visited an inmate in prison and he told me that he didn't want anybody in there trying to spread this religion.
Malcolm X
Any time you see someone more successful than you are, they are doing something you aren't.
Malcolm X
We don't think that we're begging for anything. We think we're demanding what is ours by right.
Malcolm X
Once he [Negro] realizes that [he is at war ], then he can defend himself.
Malcolm X
