More From Malcolm X

Class warfare always sounds good. taking action against the rich and the powerful and making 'em pay for what they do, it always sounds good. but that's not the job of the supreme court. the supreme court standing on the side of the american people? the supreme court adjudicates the law. the supreme court determines the constitutionality of things and other things. the supreme court's gotten way out of focus, in my opinion.
Powerful People Focus
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!
Girl Baby Attitude
Here is what hillary clinton said. crooked hillary said, "you know, when we talk about the supreme court" - fake smile - "it really raises the central issue in this election, namely what kind of country are we going to be." well, she's right about that, actually, but not in the way she means. "what kind of opportunities will we provide our citizens." the supreme court's not about that. supreme court is the law, and their cases are not about opportunities being provided for our citizens.
Country Mean Opportunity
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
The notion that the supreme court comes up with the ruling and that automatically subjects the two other branches to following it defies everything there is about the three equal branches of government. the supreme court is not the supreme branch. and for god's sake, it isn't the supreme being. it is the supreme court.
Government Two Three
As long as negro leader is making the white man think that our people are satisfied to sit in his house and wait for him to correct these conditions, he is - he is misrepresenting the thinking of the black masses, and he's doing the white man a disservice because he's making the white man be more complacent than he would be if he knew the dangerous situation that is building up right inside his own house.

I'm always rather nervous about how you talk about women who are active in politics, whether they want to be talked about as women or as politicians.
Sisterhood Want Empowering Women
What assurance have we that our masters will or can keep the promise which induced us to sell ourselves? let us not be deceived by phrases about 'man taking charge of his own destiny'. all that can really happen is that some men will take charge of the destiny of the others. they will be simply men; none perfect; some greedy, cruel and dishonest. the more completely we are planned the more powerful they will be. have we discovered some new reason why, this time, power should not corrupt as it has done before?
