Thank you. Uh, Dr. Payson? 02:03:31.320 --> 02:03:33.988 Mr. X is a... He's a demagogue. 02:03:34.198 --> 02:03:36.991 He has no place to go, so he exaggerates. 02:03:37.201 --> 02:03:39.202 He's a disservice to every good... 02:03:39.370 --> 02:03:42.497 ...law-abiding, church-going American Negro in the country. 02:03:43.833 --> 02:03:45.708 Mr. Malcolm X... 02:03:46.544 --> 02:03:49.671 ...why do you teach black supremacy? 02:03:49.880 --> 02:03:51.840 Why...? Why do you teach hate? 02:03:52.007 --> 02:03:54.509 Well, for the white man... 02:03:54.677 --> 02:03:57.178 ...to ask the black man... 02:03:57.680 --> 02:03:59.097 ...why he hates him... 02:03:59.348 --> 02:04:03.226 ...is like the wolf asking the sheep, or the rapist asking the raped... 02:04:03.436 --> 02:04:04.477 ..."Do you hate me?" 02:04:04.687 --> 02:04:08.314 The white man is in no moral position to accuse the black man of anything. 02:04:08.524 --> 02:04:10.483 This is a black man asking the question. 02:04:10.693 --> 02:04:14.863 What would you call an educated Negro with a B.A., an M.A., a B.S. or a Ph.D.? 02:04:15.030 --> 02:04:18.533 You call him a nigger. That's what the white man calls him. 02:04:18.701 --> 02:04:20.910 You have to understand this thinking. 02:04:21.120 --> 02:04:24.747 To understand this type of man, you must understand that historically... 02:04:24.957 --> 02:04:28.626 the house Negro and the field Negro. 02:04:28.836 --> 02:04:30.628 The house Negro lived in the house... 02:04:30.838 --> 02:04:34.507 ...next to his master, in the big house, in the basement or the attic. 02:04:34.717 --> 02:04:37.469 He dressed good, he ate good, what the master left him. 02:04:37.678 --> 02:04:39.304 He loved his master. 02:04:39.513 --> 02:04:42.724 He loved his master better than the master loved himself. 02:04:42.892 --> 02:04:47.228 If master said, "We got a nice house," you say, "Yeah, boss, we got a nice house." 02:04:47.563 --> 02:04:49.981 Master's house caught on fire, the house Negro... 02:04:50.149 --> 02:04:51.691 ...would put the blaze out. 02:04:51.859 --> 02:04:55.445 If the master got sick, he'd say, "What's the matter, boss? We sick?" 02:04:55.613 --> 02:04:58.281 "We sick"! This is the thinking of the house Negro. 02:04:58.491 --> 02:05:00.074 If another slave said to him: 02:05:00.242 --> 02:05:03.286 "Let's run away, let's separate from this cruel master"... 02:05:03.496 --> 02:05:06.414 ...he said, "Why? What's better than what we got here?" 02:05:06.624 --> 02:05:08.958 I'm not going anywhere." This is the house Negro. 02:05:09.126 --> 02:05:11.127 In those days, we called them house niggers. 02:05:11.295 --> 02:05:15.381 That's what we call them today because we still got a lot of house niggers. 02:05:16.300 --> 02:05:17.467 Dear Holy Apostle... 02:05:19.303 --> 02:05:22.597 ...the ministers think Malcolm is getting too much press. 02:05:23.891 --> 02:05:26.518 They think he thinks he is the Nation of Islam. 02:05:28.395 --> 02:05:31.064 That he has aspirations to lead the Nation. 02:05:32.107 --> 02:05:35.026 It was you who made Malcolm the man he is. 02:05:35.236 --> 02:05:36.736 You lifted him out of darkness. 02:05:36.904 --> 02:05:38.530 You... 02:05:40.324 --> 02:05:42.951 You go and tell the brothers... 02:05:43.702 --> 02:05:45.453 ...that what the Brother Minister... 02:05:45.788 --> 02:05:47.664 ...is doing, has done... 02:05:47.957 --> 02:05:52.377 ...has been of great benefit to the Nation. 02:05:52.586 --> 02:05:54.587 And you tell them that I say so. 02:05:54.797 --> 02:05:57.423 The ministers think he is of great benefit to himself. 02:06:06.976 --> 02:06:08.059 One at a time. 02:06:08.269 --> 02:06:10.144 Did you say white people are devils? 02:06:10.312 --> 02:06:11.312 I said they're devils. 02:06:11.522 --> 02:06:13.314 Should all blacks be armed, sir? 02:06:13.482 --> 02:06:15.858 Well, one of your most famous men said: 02:06:16.068 --> 02:06:19.612 "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition." That's the way you think. 02:06:19.822 --> 02:06:22.156 Do you think your cause will be successful? 02:06:22.324 --> 02:06:23.658 I sincerely hope so. 02:06:23.867 --> 02:06:26.160 Do you advocate violence? No, sir. 02:06:26.370 --> 02:06:28.580 Has a white man helped your people? 02:06:28.789 --> 02:06:31.332 Has there been a white man that's helped my people? 02:06:31.542 --> 02:06:33.751 Correct. I don't understand the question. 02:06:33.961 --> 02:06:36.129 You preach anti-white, anti-Christian science. 02:06:36.338 --> 02:06:38.214 You're saying you're anti-white? 02:06:38.424 --> 02:06:41.384 - No, you're saying it. - Are all white people devils? 02:06:42.011 --> 02:06:45.179 We've gotta move out. We've got a plane to catch. 02:06:48.058 --> 02:06:50.935 Excuse me, Mr. X? Um... 02:06:51.103 --> 02:06:53.021 I've read some of your speeches... 02:06:53.188 --> 02:06:56.941 ...and I honestly believe that a lot of what you have to say is true. 02:06:57.151 --> 02:07:00.194 I'm a good person in spite of what my ancestors did. 02:07:00.404 --> 02:07:02.488 I just wanted to ask you... 02:07:02.698 --> 02:07:05.533 ...what can a white person like me, who isn't prejudiced... 02:07:05.743 --> 02:07:09.329 ...what can I do to help you and further your cause? 02:07:09.538 --> 02:07:10.622 Nothing. 02:07:18.172 --> 02:07:20.548 My high school was a black ghetto... 02:07:20.758 --> 02:07:22.925 ...in Roxbury, right here in Boston. 02:07:23.761 --> 02:07:27.388 I got my college education on the streets of Harlem in New York City. 02:07:28.223 --> 02:07:32.727 I took my master's degree in prison, over the course of 61 /2 years. 02:07:32.936 --> 02:07:34.187 In fact... 02:07:34.396 --> 02:07:38.066 ...my old burglary hangout was just outside this campus. 02:07:38.817 --> 02:07:40.276 I lived like an animal. 02:07:41.236 --> 02:07:42.612 I stole. 02:07:42.946 --> 02:07:44.739 I used drugs. 02:07:45.741 --> 02:07:48.785 I smoked reefers, cocaine. 02:07:48.994 --> 02:07:52.789 I committed adultery. Had it not been for the Honorable Elijah Muhammad... 02:07:53.582 --> 02:07:56.417 ...I'd have surely been in an insane asylum or dead... 02:07:56.585 --> 02:07:59.337 ...or possibly even a murderer of one of you. 02:07:59.546 --> 02:08:03.758 So, what is Mr. Muhammad trying to do? He's trying to get us on God's side... 02:08:04.009 --> 02:08:07.679 ...so that God will be on our side and help us fight our battles. 02:08:07.888 --> 02:08:10.723 When the so-called Negro in America gets on God's side... 02:08:10.891 --> 02:08:13.518 ...and listens to the teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad... 02:08:13.727 --> 02:08:17.146 ...he'll want to get off of drugs and get away from a life of crime. 02:08:17.356 --> 02:08:20.024 He'll want to get away from committing adultery. 02:08:20.234 --> 02:08:23.111 Then he'd want to get off welfare. He'd want a job... 02:08:23.320 --> 02:08:26.906 ...to take care of his family. And his family would respect him. 02:08:27.116 --> 02:08:29.575 His son will say, "I'm proud that that's my father." 02:08:29.785 --> 02:08:32.495 His wife will say, "I'm proud that that's my husband." 02:08:32.705 --> 02:08:37.333 "Father" only means that you're taking care of your children. That's what it is. 02:08:37.543 --> 02:08:40.545 "Father" doesn't mean that you're having some babies. 02:08:40.754 --> 02:08:44.298 That doesn't make you a father. Anybody can go out and get a woman. 02:08:44.466 --> 02:08:47.468 But not anybody can take care of that woman. 02:08:47.636 --> 02:08:50.388 There's another word for it. It's called "responsibility." 02:08:50.973 --> 02:08:55.435 If the so-called Negro in America was truly an American citizen... 02:08:55.644 --> 02:08:57.645 ...we wouldn't have a racial problem. 02:08:57.813 --> 02:09:00.898 If the Emancipation Proclamation was authentic, we wouldn't have a race problem. 02:09:01.400 --> 02:09:03.693 If the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments... 02:09:03.902 --> 02:09:06.654 ...were authentic, we wouldn't have a race problem. 02:09:06.864 --> 02:09:09.824 If the Supreme Court desegregation decision were authentic... 02:09:10.033 --> 02:09:12.118 ...we wouldn't have a race problem. 02:09:12.286 --> 02:09:15.288 But you have to see that all of this is hypocrisy. 02:09:15.497 --> 02:09:18.207 These Negro leaders are telling the white man... 02:09:18.417 --> 02:09:21.252 ...that everything's all right, we got it under control. 02:09:21.462 --> 02:09:24.130 That everything the Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches is wrong. 02:09:24.339 --> 02:09:27.842 Mr. Muhammad said these things were gonna come to pass... 02:09:28.010 --> 02:09:30.845 ...and now this things are starting to come to pass. 02:09:32.681 --> 02:09:35.391 Now these same Negro leaders... 02:09:36.518 --> 02:09:41.189 ...are running around talking about there's about to be a racial explosion. 02:09:43.066 --> 02:09:45.693 Yes, there's gonna be a racial explosion. 02:09:46.153 --> 02:09:49.864 And a racial explosion is more dangerous than an atomic explosion. 02:09:52.367 --> 02:09:56.496 There's going to be an explosion because black people are dissatisfied... 02:09:56.705 --> 02:10:00.875 ...not only with the white man, but with these Uncle Tom Negro leaders... 02:10:01.084 --> 02:10:04.629 ...that are trying to pose as spokesmen for you and I. 02:10:05.047 --> 02:10:06.255 Just like you have a... 02:10:07.049 --> 02:10:08.800 Just like you have a powder keg. 02:10:09.134 --> 02:10:11.761 When you have a powder keg and there's too many sparks... 02:10:11.929 --> 02:10:13.554 ...the thing's going to explode. 02:10:13.722 --> 02:10:17.517 If the thing that's going to explode is sitting inside the house... 02:10:17.726 --> 02:10:20.728 ...and if it explodes, then the house is going to be destroyed. 02:10:20.896 --> 02:10:23.731 I said the house is going to be destroyed. 02:10:23.941 --> 02:10:26.526 The Honorable Elijah Muhammad is teaching you and I... 02:10:26.735 --> 02:10:30.696 ...and trying to tell the white man to get this powder keg out of his house. 02:10:31.031 --> 02:10:33.366 Let the black man separate from his house. 02:10:33.575 --> 02:10:35.576 Let the black man have his own house. 02:10:35.744 --> 02:10:38.538 Let the black man have his own land and property. 02:10:41.416 --> 02:10:44.418 The Honorable Elijah Muhammad is trying to tell the white man... 02:10:44.628 --> 02:10:48.589 ...that this thing, this explosion, is gonna bring down his house. 02:10:48.757 --> 02:10:52.260 This is what he's telling him. More importantly, he's telling him... 02:10:52.427 --> 02:10:54.595 ...that if he doesn't do something about it... 02:10:54.763 --> 02:10:58.558 ...if he doesn't do something about it, it's gonna explode any day now. 02:10:58.725 --> 02:11:00.142 Yes it is. 02:11:00.310 --> 02:11:03.187 I'm just here to tell you, and I'm gonna make it very short. 02:11:03.730 --> 02:11:07.650 I'm here to tell you about the Honorable Elijah Muhammad's greatest greatness. 02:11:07.985 --> 02:11:11.237 His greatest greatness is that he has the only solution... 02:11:11.446 --> 02:11:13.489 ...for peace in this country. 02:11:13.949 --> 02:11:16.450 The Honorable Elijah Muhammad's solution... 02:11:16.618 --> 02:11:18.786 ...is the only solution for you and I. 02:11:18.954 --> 02:11:21.622 It's the only solution for the white man. 02:11:22.833 --> 02:11:25.293 Complete separation... 02:11:25.627 --> 02:11:29.088 ...between the black race and the white race. 02:11:31.717 --> 02:11:33.593 It's the only solution. 02:11:39.975 --> 02:11:42.310 All praise due to Allah for Elijah Muhammad! 02:11:42.477 --> 02:11:44.729 All praise due to Allah for Elijah Muhammad! 02:12:20.557 --> 02:12:22.350 Brother Malcolm! 02:12:23.185 --> 02:12:25.895 Yes, yes.

Sphinx. 02:37:18.679 --> 02:37:22.682 Everywhere I go, I am welcomed as a representative of our people. 02:37:23.016 --> 02:37:26.185 Our struggle is known and respected worldwide. 02:37:26.687 --> 02:37:30.481 Coincidentally, two white men follow me around wherever I go. 02:37:30.858 --> 02:37:32.775 I wonder who they're working for? 02:37:33.277 --> 02:37:35.736 If I was a betting man, I'd say the CIA. 02:37:35.946 --> 02:37:37.113 What's your guess? 02:37:38.115 --> 02:37:40.158 Today I arrived in Arabia. 02:37:40.784 --> 02:37:44.704 I have never witnessed such sincere hospitality... 02:37:44.872 --> 02:37:46.998 ...and true brotherhood... 02:37:47.207 --> 02:37:48.833 ...as practiced here... 02:37:49.042 --> 02:37:52.295 ...in the ancient home of Abraham, Mohammed... 02:37:52.838 --> 02:37:56.048 "...and the great prophets of the Scriptures." 02:38:02.306 --> 02:38:04.891 Today, with thousands of others... 02:38:05.058 --> 02:38:08.644 ...I proclaimed God's greatness in the sacred city of Mecca. 02:38:09.730 --> 02:38:13.149 In the ihram garb, I made my seven circuits around the Kaaba. 02:38:13.734 --> 02:38:16.068 I drank from the well of Zem Zem. 02:38:16.487 --> 02:38:19.238 I prayed to Allah from Mount Arafat. 02:38:19.573 --> 02:38:23.451 It was the only time in my life that I stood before the creator of all... 02:38:23.660 --> 02:38:26.162 ...and felt like a complete human being. 02:38:46.350 --> 02:38:48.935 Now, you may be shocked by these words... 02:38:49.102 --> 02:38:52.980 ...but I've eaten from the same plate, drunk from the same glass... 02:38:53.190 --> 02:38:57.193 ...and prayed to the same God with Muslims whose eyes were blue... 02:38:57.402 --> 02:39:01.656 ...whose hair was blond, and whose skin was the whitest of white. 02:39:01.865 --> 02:39:03.616 And we were all brothers... 02:39:03.784 --> 02:39:04.825 ...truly. 02:39:05.035 --> 02:39:09.622 People of all colors and races believing in one God, in one humanity. 02:39:24.304 --> 02:39:26.514 Each hour in this sacred land gives me... 02:39:26.723 --> 02:39:30.309 ...greater spiritual insight into what is happening in America. 02:39:30.727 --> 02:39:35.022 The American Negro can never be blamed for his racial animosities. 02:39:35.232 --> 02:39:39.193 He's only reacting to 400 years of oppression and discrimination. 02:39:39.403 --> 02:39:42.863 But as racism leads America up the suicidal path... 02:39:43.073 --> 02:39:46.701 ...I believe the younger generation will see the writing on the wall... 02:39:46.910 --> 02:39:50.329 ...and many will want to turn to the spiritual path of truth... 02:39:50.497 --> 02:39:53.249 ...the only way left to ward off the disaster... 02:39:53.458 --> 02:39:55.418 ...that racism must surely lead to. 02:39:56.336 --> 02:40:00.506 Once before, in prison, the truth came and blinded me. 02:40:01.592 --> 02:40:03.301 Well, it has happened again. 02:40:04.344 --> 02:40:07.847 In the past, I've made sweeping indictments of all white people. 02:40:08.098 --> 02:40:10.725 And these generalizations have caused injuries... 02:40:10.934 --> 02:40:13.436 ...to some white folks who didn't deserve them. 02:40:14.521 --> 02:40:18.524 "Because of the spiritual rebirth which I was blessed to undergo..." 02:40:18.734 --> 02:40:20.901 ...as a result of my pilgrimage... 02:40:21.111 --> 02:40:23.195 ...to the holy city of Mecca... 02:40:24.990 --> 02:40:28.743 ...I no longer subscribe to sweeping indictments of one race. 02:40:29.036 --> 02:40:30.453 I intend... 02:40:31.371 --> 02:40:33.581 ...to be very careful not to... 02:40:33.790 --> 02:40:37.585 careful not to sentence anyone who has not been proven guilty. 02:40:38.211 --> 02:40:40.254 I am not a racist... 02:40:40.464 --> 02:40:43.758 ...and I do not subscribe to any of the tenets of racism. 02:40:43.967 --> 02:40:45.885 In all honesty and sincerity... 02:40:46.053 --> 02:40:50.181 ...it can be stated that I wish nothing but freedom, justice... 02:40:50.390 --> 02:40:52.058 ...and equality... 02:40:52.684 --> 02:40:57.396 ...life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all people. 02:40:57.814 --> 02:41:01.067 My first concern is with the group to which I belong... 02:41:01.234 --> 02:41:05.404 ...for we, more than others, are deprived of our inalienable rights. 02:41:05.572 --> 02:41:07.573 But the true practice of Islam... 02:41:07.783 --> 02:41:09.784 ...can remove the cancer of racism... 02:41:09.993 --> 02:41:13.621 ...from the hearts and the souls of all Americans. 02:41:13.830 --> 02:41:16.123 If I can die having brought any light... 02:41:16.333 --> 02:41:21.253 ...having exposed any truth that will help destroy this disease... 02:41:22.005 --> 02:41:25.925 ...then all the credit is due to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. 02:41:26.426 --> 02:41:28.844 And only the mistakes have been mine. 02:41:30.430 --> 02:41:32.765 Please give all my love to the children. 02:41:33.266 --> 02:41:34.850 I love

02:42:59.686 --> 02:43:03.272 ...and practice and study the religion of Islam, it might help... 02:43:03.482 --> 02:43:07.318 ...to erase the plague of racism here. 02:43:07.778 --> 02:43:11.030 I think Muslims over there look at themselves as... 02:43:11.198 --> 02:43:16.160 ...human beings, as part of the same human family. 02:43:16.620 --> 02:43:19.038 Today my friends are black...
