I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against.
Malcolm XI have rarely talked to anyone about my mother, for I believe that I am capable of killing a person, without hesitation, who happened to make the wrong kind of remark about my mother. So I purposely don't make any opening for some fool to step into.
Malcolm XHis masterโs pain was his pain. And it hurt him more for his master to be sick than for him to be sick himself. When the house started burning down, that type of Negro would fight harder to put the masterโs house out than the master himself would. But then you had another Negro out in the field. The house Negro was in the minority. The massesโthe field Negroes were the masses. They were in the majority. When the master got sick, they prayed that heโd die. If his house caught on fire, they'd pray for a wind to come along and fan the breeze.
