More quotes by Malcolm X
In stating that the idea of a separate state is not practical, I'm also stating that the idea of integration, forced integration, as they've been making an effort to do in this country for the past years, is also just as impractical.
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
I'm for truth, no matter who tells it.
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

America just reaped what it had been sowing.
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
Revolution is based on land. Land is the basis of all independence. Land is the basis of freedom, justice, and equality.
Malcolm X
One day, may we all meet together in the light of understanding.
Malcolm X
I believe when a negro church is bombed, that a white church should be bombed.
Malcolm X
Power never takes a back step only in the face of more power.
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
Because the average negro organization, especially, can't see the problem in its entirety. They can't even see that the problem is so big that their own organization as such, by itself, can never come to a, can never come up with a solution.
Malcolm X
I admire a man who fights a battle against opposition, and if there wasn't something about [Reverend] Galamison that the people, I notice that the power structure is against Galamison.
Malcolm X
That is a lie. I'm not for wanton violence, I'm for justice.
Malcolm X
You are either free or not free
Malcolm X
You can always chase a dream but it will not count if you never catch it.
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
You don't have a peaceful revolution. You don't have a turn-the-cheek revolution. There's no such thing as a nonviolent revolution.
Malcolm X
The death of over 120 white people is a very beautiful thing.
Malcolm X
