Who taught you to hate the texture of your hair? Who taught you to hate the color of your skin? To such extent you bleach, to get like the white man. Who taught you to hate the shape of your nose and the shape of your lips? Who taught you to hate yourself from the top of your head to the soles of your feet?

Who Taught You to Hate Yourself?
Malcolm X
We don't steal, we don't gamble, we don't lie and we don't cheat.
You can't get into a whiskey bottle without getting past a government seal. You can't buy a deck of cards without getting past a government seal. Here the white man makes the whiskey then puts you in jail for getting drunk. He sells you the cards and the dice and puts you in jail when he catches you using them.
The most disrespected woman in America, is the black woman. The most un-protected person in America is the black woman. The most neglected person in America, is the black woman. And as Muslims, the honorable Elijah Muhammed teaches us to respect, our women, and to protect our women. And the only time a Muslim gets real violent, is when someone goes to molest his woman. We will kill you, for our women I'm making it plain yes, we will kill you for our women. We believe that if the white man, will do whatever is necessary, to see that his woman get respect and protection, then you and I will never be recognized as men. Until we stand up like men and pays the same penalty over the head of anyone, who puts his filthy hands out, to put it in a direction of our women.

This
is a small excerpt from a speech that Malcolm X gave on May 5, 1962 at
the funeral service of Ronald Stokes in Los Angeles, who was killed by the LAPD.
The incident occurred on April 27th at a mosque that previously been
monitored by the police department. Then one night there was a disputed
altercation between the police and the members of the mosque that
resulted in an overwhelming police force killing of seven members of the
Nation of Islam that night, including Stokes.
