Many of them who belong to these countries that were former colonial powers have racist attitudes, but their racist attitude is never displayed to the degree that the America's attitude of racism is displayed. Never.
Malcolm XI think that any black man who teaches black people to turn the other cheek and suffer peacefully after they've been turning the cheek and suffering peacefully for 400 years in a land of bondage, under the most cruel, inhuman and wicked slavemaster that any people have ever been under, he is doing those people an injustice, and he's a traitor to his own people.
Malcolm XNo, Iโm not an American. Iโm one of the 22 million black people who are the victims of Americanism. One of the โฆ victims of democracy, nothing but disguised hypocrisy. So, Iโm not standing here speaking to you as an American, or a patriot, or a flag-saluter, or a flag-waver - no, not I. Iโm speaking as a victim of this American system. And I see America through the eyes of the victim. I donโt see any American dream; I see an American nightmare.
