Take that meeting between James Baldwin and Robert Kennedy practically everybody there was interracially married. Check up on these integration leaders, and you will find that most of them are either married to or hooked up with some white woman. MALCOLM X: I wouldn’t say all of you, but let the evidence speak for itself. LOMAX: Are you suggesting that all of us who fight for integration are after a white woman? Now, you integration-minded Negroes are trying to force yourselves on your former slave master, trying to make him accept you in his drawing room you want to hang out with his women rather than the women of your own kind. You nursed his baby and cleaned behind his wife, and he still won’t give you freedom you turned the other cheek while he lynched you and raped your women, but he still won’t give you equality. And the Negro is nothing but an ex-slave who is now trying to get himself integrated into the slave master’s house.Īnd the slave master doesn’t want you! You fought and bled and died in every war the white man waged, and he still won’t give you justice. The Negro was taught to speak the white man’s tongue, worship the white God, and accept the white man as his superior.

MALCOLM X: Sir, how can a Negro say America is his nation? He was brought here in chains he was put in slavery an worked like a mule for three hundred years he was separated from his land, his culture, his God, his language! LOMAX: Wouldn’t you say the Negro has a nation–America? Most of all he must have love and devotion for his own kind. This is why we teach that in order for a man to really understand himself he must be part of a nation he must have some land of his own, a God of his own, a language of his own. You see, sir, when a man understands who he is, who God is, who the devil is… then he can pick himself up out of the gutter he can clean himself up and stand up like a man should before his God. It has taken us that long to get the deaf, dumb, and blind black men in the wilderness of North America to wake up and understand who they are.

The white devil’s time is up it has been up for almost fifty years now. MALCOLM X: Yes, sir, that is what The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us. By now, I think, everybody knows your position that the white man is a devil, a man incapable of doing right you hold that the black man is of God’s divine nature, that he fell from power because of weakness you hold further that the white man’s rule over the earth was scheduled to end in 1914, but that his end has been delayed because of the need to get the American Negro into the fold of the black brotherhood. LOMAX: Minister Malcolm, we are all by now familiar with your basic philosophy we have heard you speak, seen you on television, and read your remarks in magazines and newspapers.
