America Quote by Malcolm X

“[Black nationalism] is not designed to make the black man…” quote by Malcolm X — Download Open image

“[Black nationalism] is not designed to make the black man reevaluate the white man--you know him already--but to make the black man re-evaluate himself. Don't change the white man's mind; you can't change his mind. And that whole thing about appealing to the moral conscience of America--America's conscience is bankrupt.”
