Malcolm X

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.

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.’

Malcolm X

It’s impossible for a white person to believe in capitalism and not believe in racism.

Malcolm X

It’s liberty or death! It’s freedom for everybody or freedom for nobody!

Malcolm X

It’s like the Negro in America seeing the white man win all the time. He’s a professional gambler; he has all the cards and the odds stacked on his side, and he has always dealt to our people from the bottom of the deck.

Malcolm X

Just as a tree without roots is dead, a people without history or cultural roots also becomes a dead people.

Malcolm X

Just as the white man and every other person on this earth has God-given rights, natural rights, civil rights, any kind of rights that you can think of, when it comes to defending himself, black people – we should have the right to defend ourselves also.

Malcolm X

Just because a cat has kittens in the oven, that doesn’t make them biscuits.

Malcolm X

Learn the language that they understand, and when they come upon our doorstep to talk we can talk, and they will get the point. There will be a dialog, there will be some communication, and I am quite certain that then there will be some understanding.

Malcolm X

Liberty or death was what brought about the freedom of whites in this country from the English.
