Malcolm XDon't be bitter. Remember Lot's wife when they kill me, and they surely will. You have to use all of your energy to do what it is you have to do. [To his wife Betty Shabazz]
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.
