Malcolm X: If the so-called Negro in America was truly an American
citizen, we wouldn't have a racial problem. If the Emancipation
Proclamation was authentic, we wouldn't have a racial problem. If the
thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution were
authentic, we wouldn't have a racial problem. If the Supreme Court
desegregation decision were
authentic, we would not have a race problem.
But you have to see that all of this is hypocrisy. These Negro leaders
are
running around telling the white man that everything is all right, that we
got everything under control, that everything the honorable Elijah
Muhammed teaches is wrong, but I'm telling you Mr. Muhammad said these
things were going to come to pass, and now these things are starting to
come to pass.
Now these same Negro leaders are running around talking about that there's
about to be a racial explosion. Ha, ha, yes, there's going to be a racial
explosion, and a racial explosion is more dangerous than an atomic
explosion. There's going to be an explosion, because black people are
dissatisfied; they're dissatisfied not only with the white man, but with
these Uncle Tom Negro leaders that are trying to pose as, as spokesmen for
you and I.
Just like you have a, just like you have a powder keg--when you have a
powder keg, and there's too many sparks around it, the thing's going to
explode. And if the thing that's going to explode is sitting inside the
house, and if it explodes, then the house is going to be destroyed--I said
the house is going to be destroyed! So the honorable Elijah Muhammad is
teaching you
and I, and trying to tell the white man, to get this powder keg out of his
house--let the black man separate from his house. Let the black man have
his own house! Let the black man have his own land, and his own
property!
The honorable Elijah Muhammad is trying to tell the white man that this
thing, this explosion, is going to bring down his house. This is what
he's
trying to tell him, and more importantly, he's trying to tell him that if
he
doesn't do something about it, if he doesn't do something about it, it's
gonna explode any day now. I'm just here to tell you, I'm gonna make it
very short.
