More From Malcolm X

I maintain that i have been a negro three times--a negro baby, a negro girl and a negro woman. still, if you have received no clear cut impression of what the negro in america is like, then you are in the same place with me. there is no the negro here. our lives are so diversified, internal attitudes so varied, appearances and capabilities so different, that there is no possible classification so catholic that it will cover us all, except my people! my people!

If you read the story of slavery and see the part that the uncle tom played in the plantation, and then you see how the white man today has changed his tactics, but he still occupies the same position, in that same context you find uncle tom. he has changed his tactics but he still occupies the same position.

Negro writers, just by being black, have been on the blacklist all our lives. do you know that there are libraries in our country that will not stock a book by a negro writer, not even as a gift? there are towns where negro newspapers and magazines cannot be sold except surreptitiously. there are american magazines that have never published anything by negroes. there are film studios that have never hired a negro writer. censorship for us begins at the color line.

The religious philosophy that they had adopted, in my opinion, was the only thing and is the only thing that can remove the white from the mind of the white man and the negro from the mind of the negro. i have seen what islam has done with our people, our people who had this feeling of negro - and it had a psychological effect of putting them in a mental prison.

How can cosmic religious feeling be communicated from one person to another, if it can give rise to no definite notion of a god and no theology? in my view, it is the most important function of art and science to awaken this feeling and keep it alive in those who are receptive to it.
