Among Negroes we have Negroes who are as white as some white people. Still there’s a difference.

And concerning anything in this society involved in helping Negroes, the federal government shows an inability to function. But it can function in South Vietnam, in the Congo, in Berlin, and in other places where it has no business. But it can’t function in Mississippi.

And what makes the whites who have these middle-class values have those values? Where did they get it? They didn’t have these same values, four hundred years, five hundred years ago.

Malcolm X

Any negro who occupies a position that was given to him by the white man, if you analyze his function, his function never enables him to really take a firm, uncompromising, militant stand on problems that confront our people.

Any time the negro becomes involved in mature political action, then the resistance of the politicians who, who benefit from the exploited political system as it now stands, will come, will, will be forced to put, exercise more violent action to deprive the negro of his mature political action.

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

Any time you beg another man to set you free, you will never be free. Freedom is something that you have to do for yourselves.

Malcolm X

Any time you demonstrate against segregation and a man has the audacity to put a police dog on you, kill that dog, kill him, I’m telling you, kill that dog. I say it if they put me in jail tomorrow, kill that dog. Then you’ll put a stop to it.

Malcolm X

Any time you put too many sparks around a powder keg, the thing is going to explode, and if the things that explodes is still inside the house, then the house will be destroyed.

Malcolm X

Any way, any form necessary to defend himself; Negro should reserve the right to do that just the same as others have the right to do it.
