More quotes by Malcolm X

Malcolm X
No religion will ever make me forget the condition of our people in this country...No God, no religion, no nothing will make me forget it until it stops, until it's elimitnated. I want to make that point clear.
Malcolm X
Not a state within a state, but the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is, is saying that the black man, since the white man, has found it impossible to bring about integration, other than toke on a ta - other than on a token basis, and which proves that the, the two of us, the ex-slave and the master, can't live in the same house as equals.
Malcolm X
My faith in God is such that I am not afraid.
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
Wyatt Walker can walk through Harlem. No one would know him.
Malcolm X

Malcolm X
Let's cool it, brothers.
