More quotes by Malcolm X
I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be respected as such, regardless of their color.
Malcolm X
This is why integration will not work. It assumes that the two races, black and white, are equal and can be made to live as one. This is not true.
Malcolm X
When the whites themselves are attacked, they believe in defending themselves and things of that sort.
Malcolm X
When we say Afro American, we include everyone in the Western Hemisphere of African descent. South America is America. Central America is America. South America has many people in it of African descent.
Malcolm X
The thing that has made the so-called Negro in America fail, more than any other thing, is your, my, lack of knowledge concerning history. We know less about history than anything else.
Malcolm X
Those who would hunt a man need to remember that a jungle also contains those who hunt the hunters.
Malcolm X
I don't even call it violence when it's in self defense I call it intelligence.
Malcolm X
If integration will get [black man] that [respect as the human being], all right. If segregation will get him that, all right. If separation will get him that, all right.But after he gets integration and he still doesn't have this dignity and this recognition as a human being, then his problem is still not solved.
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
When a man understands who he is, who God is, who the devil is... then he can pick himself up out of the gutter he can clean himself up and stand up like a man should before his God.
Malcolm X
What Martin Luther King is doing is disarming the black people of America of their God-given right and of their natural right.
Malcolm X
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
I for one believe that if you give people a thorough understanding of what confronts them and the basic causes that produce it, they'll create their own program, and when the people create a program, you get action.
Malcolm X
America's greatest crime against the black man was not slavery or lynching, but that he was taught to wear a mask of self-hate and self-doubt.
Malcolm X
My faith in God is such that I am not afraid.
Malcolm X
When the Muslims deliver the indictment of the American system, it is not the white man per se that is being doomed.
Malcolm X
Anytime anyone is enslaved or in any way deprived of his liberty, that person, as a human being, as far as I'm concerned he is justified to resort to whatever methods necessary to bring about his liberty again.
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.
Malcolm X
Many of them who belong to these countries that were former colonial powers have racist attitudes, but their racist attitude is never displayed to the degree that the America's attitude of racism is displayed. Never.
Malcolm X
Growing is the result of learning.
