We have a common enemy. we have this in common: we have a common oppressor, a common exploiter, and a common discriminator. but once we all realize that we have this common enemy, then we unite on the basis of what we have in common. and what we have foremost in common is that enemy - the white man. he's an enemy to all of us. i know some of you all think that some of them aren't enemies. time will tell.

More From Malcolm X

The enemy of the black is not the white. the enemy of capitalist is not communist, the enemy of homosexual is not heterosexual, the enemy of jew is not arab, the enemy of youth is not the old, the enemy of hip is not redneck, the enemy of chicano is not gringo and the enemy of women is not men. we all have the same enemy. the enemy is the tyranny of the dull mind. the enemy is every expert who practices technocratic manipulation, the enemy is every proponent of standardization and the enemy is every victim who is so dull and lazy and weak as to allow himself to be manipulated and standardized.

Because when you unite, that is the power of god, you know. god love love, which is unity. so when you unite, you get the whole power of god. that's what him want. until black people unite...if the black people don't unite, the world, no one, no one can live good.
God People Black
It would be hard to find a single example in history in which a group that cast more than 50 percent of the vote got away with calling itself the victim... women are the only 'oppressed' group to share the same parents as the 'oppressor'; to be born into the middle class and upper class as frequently as the 'oppressor'; to own more of the culture's luxury items than the 'oppressor'.

It is incorrect to classify the revolt of the negro as simply a radical conflict of black against white or as a purely american problem. rather, we are today seeing a global rebellion of the oppressed against the oppressor, the exploited against the exploiter.
White Black Today
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
It was during those long and lonely years that my hunger for the freedom of my own people became a hunger for the freedom of all people, white and black. i knew as well as i knew anything that the oppressor must be liberated just as surely as the oppressed. a man who takes away another man's freedom is a prisoner of hatred, he is locked behind the bars of prejudice and narrow-mindedness. i am not truly free if i am taking away someone else's freedom, just as surely as i am not free when my freedom is taken from me. the oppressed and the oppressor alike are robbed of their humanity.
