Malcolm X
Image
No, we are not anti-white. But we don't have time for the white man. The white man is on top already, the white man is the boss already ... He has first-class citizenship already. So you are wasting your time talking to the white man. We are working on our own people.
Malcolm X

Malcolm X
Image
If I can't run my neighborhood you won't want me in your neighborhood.
Malcolm X
Image
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
Image
It's liberty or it's death. It's freedom for everybody or freedom for nobody.
Malcolm X
Image
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
Image
Just as the white man and every other person on this earth has God-given rights, natural rights, civil rights, any kind of rights that you can think of, when it comes to defending himself, black people - we should have the right to defend ourselves also.
Malcolm X
Image
[ Uncle Sam] is not sending 20 billion dollars to South America because he loves those people down here. He's sending it - sending it to them because he needs their friendship, he needs their allegion - their allegiance.
Malcolm X
Image
I think that the best thing that a person can be is sincere.
Malcolm X

I think that the problem of the American negro goes beyond the principle of any organization whether it's a religious, political, or otherwise.
