Everything that came out of Europe, every blue-eyed thing, is already an American. And as long as you and I have been over here, we aren’t Americans yet.

Malcolm X

Malcolm X

For one to control one’s thoughts and feelings means one can actually control one’s atmosphere and all who walk into its sphere of influence.

Malcolm X

Forget the methods or the differences in methods. As long as we agree that the thing that the Afro-American wants and needs is recognition and respect as a human being.

Malcolm X

Give us some separate territory in this country where our people can go and do something for ourselves. And provide us with everything that we need to keep that new territory going, until we are self-sufficient.

Malcolm X

God is about to eliminate the white man from this earth.

Malcolm X

God is going to punish the white man for his misdeeds toward black people.

Malcolm X

God now is about to establish a kingdom on this earth based upon brotherhood and peace, and the white man is against brotherhood and the white man is against peace. His history on this earth has proved that.

Malcolm X

Good education, housing and jobs are imperatives for the Negroes, and I shall support them in their fight to win these objectives, but I shall tell the Negroes that while these are necessary, they cannot solve the main Negro problem.

Malcolm X

Hatred and anger are powerless when met with kindness.
