Malcolm X

We don’t think that we’re begging for anything. We think we’re demanding what is ours by right.

Malcolm X

We have to keep in mind at all times that we are not fighting for integration, nor are we fighting for separation. We are fighting for recognition as free humans in this society.

Malcolm X

We Muslims believe that the white race, which is guilty of having oppressed and exploited and enslaved our people here in America, should and will be the victims of God’s divine wrath.

Malcolm X

We must control the politics and the politicians of our community. They must no longer take orders from outside forces. We will organize, and sweep out of office all Negro politicians who are puppets for the outside forces.

Malcolm X

We won’t organize any black man to be a Democrat or a Republican because both of them have sold us out. Both of them have sold us out; both parties have sold us out. Both parties are racist, and the Democratic Party is more racist than the Republican Party.

Malcolm X

We’re all in the same boat and we all are going to catch the same hell from the same man.

Malcolm X

Well, the white race in America is the same way. As individuals it is impossible for them to escape the collective crime committed against the Negroes in this country, collectively.

Malcolm X

What I want to know is how the white man, with the blood of black people dripping off his fingers, can have the audacity to be asking black people, ‘Do they hate him?’ That takes a lot of nerve.

Malcolm X

What Martin Luther King is doing is disarming the black people of America of their God-given right and of their natural right.

Malcolm X

What the white man in America needs to realize is there’s a new thinking among black people today which makes them not willing to sit around and wait for five years to get this problem solved, much less a hundred years.
