So now I'm going to forget the 400 years of lynching and killing raping and depriving my people feeding of justice and equality and the lowest of low last respect and I'm going to look at two or three white people who are trying to do right and don't see the other million who are trying to kill me? I'm not that big of a fool.
Muhammad AliWhen I beat Sonny Liston, I shocked the world. When I joined the Muslims, I shocked the world. When I beat George Forman, I shocked the world. I am from the House of Shock
Muhammad AliIt's the lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believe in myself. He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life. I figured that if I said it enough, I would convince the world that I really was the greatest.
Muhammad AliTo be a follower of The Honorable Elijah Mohammed, you have to completely extain from alcohol, or fornication, adultered, killin', stealin', lyin'. I would say that the people are not rejectin' the Honorable Elijah Mohammed because they don't believe what he teach.
Muhammad AliI would like to say that whites jumped right behind Malcolm X. Theyโre makinโ a book about him, itโs required readinโ in all colleges now, and theyโre makinโ a movie about him, and projectinโ him as the leader and if you read his book and see the movie thatโs cominโ out, itโll make you hate Elijah Mohammed and the Muslims. Mainly, this is done to turn the black people against the real leader and Iโd like to say that this is the way white people rule.
