[ Uncle Sam] is not sending 20 billion dollars to South America because he loves those people down here. He's sending it - sending it to them because he needs their friendship, he needs their allegion - their allegiance.

My sincerity is my credentials.

Because The Honorable Elijah Muhammad makes black people brave enough, men enough to defend ourselves no matter what the odds are, the white man runs around here with a doctrine that Mr. Muhammad is advocating the violence when he is actually telling Negroes to defend themselves against violent people.

White people whom I have met, who have accepted Islam, they don't regard themselves as white but as human beings.

And what makes the whites who have these middle-class values have those values? Where did they get it? They didn't have these same values four hundred years, five hundred years ago.

The white man is by nature a devil and must be destroyed.

I refer to a negro politician as a negro who is selected by Negroes and who is backed by Negroes.
