| MALCOLM X: Malcolm X Explains Black Nationalism |
 |
http://malcolmxfiles.blogspot.com/
Speaking to an audience in Harlem, Malcolm X
explains: "If you're interested in freedom,
you need some judo, you need some karate--you
need all the things that will help you fight
for freedom...They can give us the back pay.
Let's join in. If this is what the negro
wants, let's join him. Let's show him how to
struggle, let's show him how to fight. Let's
show him how to bring about a real
revolution. You don't need a debate. You
don't need a filibuster. You need some
action."

| Malcolm X - Ballot or Bullet |

Malcolm X mostly about black nationalism
delivered April 12, 1964 in Detroit,

and can be found at

Originally obtained from the Vincent Voice
Library at Michigan State University.
Note: I had set up the video response to be
by my approval, just to weed out any spam.
However, in the time this video has been up,
I've gotten a few responses, none of which
were spam, and yet youtube won't give me the
option to allow them. So I've set it up for
automatic approval, hopefully that will work.
If you've submitted a video response before
and it didn't go through, try again.

| MALCOLM X: OUR HISTORY WAS DESTROYED BY SLAVERY |
 |
http://malcolmxfiles.blogspot.com/
Malcolm X appears on a television in Chicago
called "City Desk" on March 17, 1963.
"My father didn't know his last name. My
father got his last name from his grandfather
and his grandfather got it from his
grandfather who got it from the slavemaster.
The real names of our people were destroyed
during slavery. The last name of my
forefathers was taken from them when they
were brought to America and made slaves, and
then the name of the slavemaster was given,
which we refuse, we reject that name today
and refuse it. I never acknowledge it
whatsoever."

| MALCOLM X: THE HOUSE NEGRO AND THE FIELD NEGRO |
 |
http://malcolmxfiles.blogspot.com/
"Back during slavery, when Black people like
me talked to the slaves, they didn't kill
'em, they sent some old house Negro along
behind him to undo what he said. You have to
read the history of slavery to understand
this. There were two kinds of Negroes. There
was that old house Negro and the field Negro.
And the house Negro always looked out for his
master. When the field Negroes got too much
out of line, he held them back in check. He
put 'em back on the plantation. The house
Negro could afford to do that because he
lived better than the field Negro. He ate
better, he dressed better, and he lived in a
better house. He lived right up next to his
master - in the attic or the basement. He ate
the same food his master ate and wore his
same clothes. And he could talk just like his
master - good diction. And he loved his
master more than his master loved himself.
That's why he didn't want his master hurt. If
the master got sick, he'd say, "What's the
matter, boss, we sick?" [Laughter] When the
master's house caught afire, he'd try and put
the fire out. He didn't want his master's
house burned. He never wanted his master's
property threatened. And he was more
defensive of it than the master was. That was
the house Negro. But then you had some field
Negroes, who lived in huts, had nothing to
lose. They wore the worst kind of clothes.
They ate the worst food. And they caught
hell. They felt the sting of the lash. They
hated their master. Oh yes, they did. If the
master got sick, they'd pray that the master
died. If the master's house caught afire,
they'd pray for a strong wind to come along.
This was the difference between the two. And
today you still have house Negroes and field
Negroes. I'm a field Negro."

| MALCOLM X: BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY |
 |
http://malcolmxfiles.blogspot.com/
"Recently when I was blessed to make a
religious pilgrimage to the holy city of
Mecca where I met many people from all over
the world, plus spent many weeks in Africa
trying to broaden my own scope and get more
of an open mind to look at the problem as it
actually is, one of the things that I
realized, and I realized this even before
going over there, was that our African
brothers have gained their independence
faster than you and I here in America have.
They've also gained recognition and respect
as human beings much faster than you and I.
Just ten years ago on the African continent,
our people were colonized. They were
suffering all forms of colonization,
oppression, exploitation, degradation,
humiliation, discrimination, and every other
kind of -ation. And in a short time, they
have gained more independence, more
recognition, more respect as human beings
than you and I have. And you and I live in a
country which is supposed to be the citadel
of education, freedom, justice, democracy,
and all of those other pretty-sounding words.
So it was our intention to try and find out
what it was our African brothers were doing
to get results, so that you and I could study
what they had done and perhaps gain from that
study or benefit from their experiences."
Malcolm X makes it plain that he is opposed
to the philosophy of Martin Luther King.
