Malcolm X Quotes

“He said he would be willing to meet with any group, white or black, if they are willing and are honestly sincere in trying to find the problem and present a solution to the racial problem. He said the lack of education for the white as well as the black is one of the causes for the social problem in the United States. He said education will replace deficiency in the Negro and deficiency in the white person. Negro leaders have to accept the fact that there are problems between the white and black people and they must be sincere in trying to obtain a solution to their problems.”
― Clayborne Carson, Malcolm X: The FBI File

“He continues by emphasizing that, 'the problem facing our people here in America is bigger than all other personal or organizational differences. Therefore, as leaders, we must stop worrying about the threat that we seem to think we pose to each other's personal prestige, and concentrate our united efforts toward solving the unending hurt that is being done daily to our people here in America.”
― Clayborne Carson, Malcolm X: The FBI File

“He does 'not pretend to be a divine man,' he says, nor is he an educated man, or 'an expert in any particular field . . . but I am sincere,' he adds, 'and my sincerity are my my credentials.”
