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.

It's easy to become a satellite today without even being aware of it. This country can seduce God. Yes, it has that seductive power the power of the dollar.

[Islam] is not measured by the color of his skin.
Malcolm X

I don't think that the objective of the American negro is white middle-class values because what are white middle-class values?
Malcolm X
Image
[Black nationalism] is not designed to make the black man reevaluate the white man--you know him already--but to make the black man re-evaluate himself. Don't change the white man's mind you can't change his mind. And that whole thing about appealing to the moral conscience of America--America's conscience is bankrupt.

Nobody can give you freedom. Nobody can give you equality or justice or anything. If you're a man, you take it.
