Any time Uncle Sam, with all his machinery for warfare, is held to a draw by some rice eaters, he's lost the battle.
Malcolm X
Image
The man was a deceiver. He was deceitful and I will never bite my tongue in saying that. I don't think he was anything but a politician, and he used Negroes to get elected and to get votes.
Malcolm X

A man who believes in freedom will do anything under the sun to acquire, or preserve his freedom.
Malcolm X

It's hard for anyone intelligent to be nonviolent. Everything in the universe does something when you start playing with his life, except the American Negro. He lays down and says, 'Beat me, daddy.'
