In the past, yes, i have made sweeping indictments of all white people. i never will be guilty of that again - as i know now that some white people are truly sincere, that some truly are capable of being brotherly toward a black man. the true islam has shown me that a blanket indictment of all white people is as wrong as when whites made blanket indictments against blacks.

More From Malcolm X

The true islam has shown me that a blanket indictment of all white people is as wrong as when whites make blanket indictments against blacks.
White People Islam
In the united states the whites speak well of the blacks but think bad about them, whereas the blacks talk bad and think bad aboutthe whites. whites fear blacks, because they have a bad conscience, and blacks hate whites because they need not have a bad conscience.
Hate Thinking Racism
White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'
Movie Jobs Nice
As long as the factories are in the hands of the whites, the housing is in the hands of the whites, the school system is in the hands of the whites, you have a situation where the blacks are constantly begging the whites can they use this or can they use that. that's not any kind of equality of opportunity, nor does it lend toward one's dignity.
School Opportunity Hands
I've never seen a sincere white man, not when it comes to helping black people. usually things like this are done by white people to benefit themselves. the white man's primary interest is not to elevate the thinking of black people, or to waken black people, or white people either. the white man is interested in the black man only to the extent that the black man is of use to him. the white man's interest is to make money, to exploit.
Men Thinking White Man
I was on a panel with light skinned blacks and a famous gay science fiction writer, who were complaining about how blacks are against gays and light skinned blacks and how intolerant blacks are of different groups. my position was that blacks were among the most humanistic, tolerant groups in the country and that across the street from my house in oakland was one inhabited by white gays.

I'm so proud to be canadian. i've been to 58 countries, and they're wonderful countries, but canada is the best.
Country Proud Canada
This pride of race is a quality which the german, fundamentally, does not possess. the reason for this is that for these last three centuries the country has been torn by internal dissension and religious wars and has been subjected to a variety of foreign influences, to the influence, for example, of christianity-for christianity is not a natural religion for the germans, but a religion that has been imported and which strikes no responsive chord in their hearts and is foreign to the inherent genius of the race. (13th february 1945)
