Forget the methods or the differences in methods. As long as we agree that the thing that the Afro-American wants and needs is recognition and respect as a human being.

More quotes by Malcolm X
One of the first things I think young people, especially nowadays, should learn is how to see for yourself and listen for yourself and think for yourself.
Malcolm X
As bad as I was, as much trouble and worry as I caused my mother, I loved her.
Malcolm X
Integration will not bring a man back from the grave.
Malcolm X
I shall never rest until I have undone the harm I did to so many well-meaning, innocent Negroes who through my own evangelistic zeal now believe in him even more fanatically and more blindly than I did.
Malcolm X
[ Negro leaders] never let the white man know exactly what black people are thinking.
Malcolm X
[Black nationalism] is not designed to make the black man reevaluate the white man--you know him already--but to make the black man re-evaluate himself. Don't change the white man's mind you can't change his mind. And that whole thing about appealing to the moral conscience of America--America's conscience is bankrupt.
Malcolm X
Martin Luther King has made the Negro in America unnatural.
Malcolm X
Solve the race problem here, and once you solve the race problem here, you don't have to send these billions of dollars abroad.
Malcolm X
One of the tricks of the west is to use or create images, they create images of a person who doesn't go along with their views and then they make certain that this image is distasteful, and then anything that that person has to say from thereon, from thereon in, is rejected.
Malcolm X
Integration is the method toward obtaining that goal. And what he Negro leader has done is gotten himself wrapped up in the method and has forgotten what the goal is.
Malcolm X
I don't even call it violence when it's in self defense I call it intelligence.
Malcolm X
And what makes the whites who have these middle-class values have those values? Where did they get it? They didn't have these same values four hundred years, five hundred years ago.
Malcolm X
Even as a Muslim minister in the Muslim movement, I have always said that I would work with any organization.
Malcolm X
Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.
Malcolm X
Why can't the black man have a God? What's so wrong when a black man says his God will protect him form his white foe? If Jehovah can slay Philistines for the Jews, why can't Allah slay crackers for the so-called Negro?
Malcolm X
I am for violence if non-violence means we continue postponing a solution to the American black man's problem just to avoid violence.
Malcolm X
The white man is going to keep you integration-minded Negroes cooped up here in America, and when you discover that the white man is a trickster, a devil, that he has no intentions of integrating, then you Negroes will run wild.
Malcolm X
We cannot think of uniting with others, until after we have first united among ourselves... One can't unite bananas with scattered leaves.
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
Until the white man in America sits down and talks with The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, he won't even know what the race problem - what makes the race problem what it is.
Malcolm X
