More quotes by 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.
Malcolm X
Those who stay here can help those who go back, and those who go back can help those who stay here in the same way that when Jews go to Israel, the Jews in America help those in Israel and the Jews in Israel help those in America.
Malcolm X
The only possible way out for the white man is to give us Negroes some land of our own let us get out, get away from his wicked reign and go for ourselves.
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
If a white man puts his arm around me voluntarily, that's brotherhood.
Malcolm X
I believe in the brotherhood of all men, but I don't believe in wasting brotherhood on anyone who doesn't want to practice it with me. Brotherhood is a two-way street.
Malcolm X
The Messenger has seen God. He was with Allah and was given divine patience with the devil. He is willing to wait for Allah to deal with this devil. Well, sir, the rest of us Black Muslims have not seen God, we don't have this gift of divine patience with the devil. The younger Black Muslims want to see some action.
Malcolm X
We are fighting for the right to live as free humans in this society. In fact, we are actually fighting for rights that are even greater than civil rights and that is human rights.
Malcolm X
The white race is doomed not because it's white but because of its misdeeds.
Malcolm X
I believe in recognizing every human being as a human being - neither white, black, brown, or red.
Malcolm X
I was with Essien Udom in Nigeria.
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
I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land--every color, and class, and rank high officials and the beggar alike--all snored in the same language.
Malcolm X
Armed with the knowledge of our past, we can with confidence charter a course for our future. Culture is an indispensable weapon in the freedom struggle. We must take hold of it and forge the future with the past.
Malcolm X
The Negro fought and bled and died in every war the white man waged, and he still won't give you justice. You nursed his baby and cleaned behind his wife, and he still won't give you freedom you turned the other cheek while he lynched you and raped your women, but he still won't give you equality.
Malcolm X
When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the United States struck back. She didn't go and bomb - she bombed any part of Japan. She dropped the bomb on Hiroshima. Those people in Hiroshima probably hadn't even, some of them most of them hadn't even killed anybody.
Malcolm X
If [politician] is not fulfilling his function, they then can set up the machinery to remove him from that position by whatever means necessary.
Malcolm X
The only difference between [America] and South Africa, South Africa preaches separation and practices separation, America preaches integration and practices segregation. This is the only difference, they don't practice what they preach, whereas South Africa practices and preaches the same thing.
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 economic philosophy of black nationalism only means that our people need to be re-educated into the importance of controlling the economy of the community in which we live, which means that we won't have to constantly be involved in picketing and boycotting other people in other communities in order to get jobs.
