Malcolm X

Human history’s greatest crime was the traffic in black flesh when the devil white man went into Africa and murdered and kidnapped to bring to the West in chains, in slave ships, millions of black men, women, and children, who were worked and beaten and tortured as slaves.

Malcolm X

Human rights are something you were born with. Human rights are your God-given rights. Human rights are the rights that are recognized by all nations of this earth.

Malcolm X

I actually believed that after living as fully as humanly possible, one should then die violently. I expected then as I still expect today.

Malcolm X

I am a Muslim, because it’s a religion that teaches you an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. It teaches you to respect everybody, and treat everybody right. But it also teaches you if someone steps on your toe, chop off their foot. And I carry my religious axe with me all the time.

Malcolm X

I am and always will be a Muslim. My religion is Islam.

Malcolm X

I am for violence if non-violence means we continue postponing a solution to the American black man’s problem just to avoid violence.

Malcolm X

I am not a racist. I am against every form of racism and segregation, every form of discrimination. I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be respected as such, regardless of their color.

Malcolm X

I am not an American; I am one of twenty-two million black people who are victims of Americanism.

Malcolm X

I believe in a religion that believes in freedom. Any time I have to accept a religion that won’t let me fight a battle for my people, I say to hell with that religion.

Malcolm X

I believe in human rights for everyone, and none of us is qualified to judge each other and that none of us should therefore have that authority.
