More quotes by Malcolm X
Anytime you tell a man to turn the other cheek or to be nonviolent in the face of a violent enemy, you're making that man defenseless. You're robbing him of his God-given right to defend himself.
Malcolm X
Any time the negro becomes involved in mature political action, then the resistance of the politicians who benefit from the exploited political system as it now stands will be forced to put, exercise more violent action to deprive the negro of his mature political action.
Malcolm X
One of my brothers read a lot. His head was forever in some book.
Malcolm X
Anytime you live in a society supposedly based upon law and it doesn't enforce its own laws because the color of a man's skin happens to be wrong, then I say those people are justified to resort to any means necessary to bring about justice when the government can't give them justice.
Malcolm X
I believe in recognizing every human being as a human being - neither white, black, brown, or red.
Malcolm X
Why must I run against a Negro? We have had enough of Negroes running against and fighting with each other. The better bet is that we would put a Muslim candidate in the field against a devil, somebody who is against all we stand for.
Malcolm X
If you're black, you were born in jail, in the North as well as the South. Stop talking about the South. Long as you south of the Canadian border, you're south.
Malcolm X
The Negro revolution is controlled by foxy white liberals, by the Government itself. But the Black Revolution is controlled only by God.
Malcolm X
Actually we are Muslims because we believe in the religion of Islam.
Malcolm X
The black man in Africa had mastered the arts and sciences. He knew the course of the stars in the universe before the man up in Europe knew that the earth wasn't flat.
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
... Any county's moral strength, or its moral weakness, is quickly measurable by the street attire and attitude of its women - especially its young women. Wherever ... spiritual values have been submerged, if not destroyed, by an emphasis upon ... material things, invariably the women reflect it.
Malcolm X
I went to a white school over here in Mason, Michigan. The white man made the mistake of letting me read his history books. He made the mistake of teaching me that Patrick Henry was a patriot and George Washington - wasn't nothing non-violent about old Pat or George Washington.
Malcolm X
Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.
Malcolm X
I believe when a negro church is bombed, that a white church should be bombed.
Malcolm X
I go for Mao Tse-tung much more than, than Nehru because I think that Nehru brought his country up in a beggar's role.
Malcolm X
Learn to see, listen, and think for yourself.
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
Only the whites in the South aren't hypocritical about it. You don't find any more inter - there is just as much social intermixing in the South as there - between the races as there is in the North. Only they - in the South they let you know - where they stand, and in the North they take a hypocritical approach or attitude or reaction.
Malcolm X
History is a people's memory, and without a memory, man is demoted to the lower animals.
Malcolm X
