"I'm speaking as a Black man from America... which is a racist society. |
|
No matter how much you hear it talk about democracy... |
|
It's as racist as South Africa or as racist as Portugal... |
|
Or as racist as any other racialist society on this, on this earth. |
|
The only difference between it and South-Africa: South-Africa... |
|
Preaches separation and practices separation. |
|
America preaches integration and practices segregation! |
|
This is the ONLY difference. |
|
They don't practice what they PREACH! |
|
For in South-Africa preaches and practices... the SAME thing. |
|
I have more respect for a man, who let me know where he stands... |
|
Even if he's wrong. |
|
Then one who comes up like an angel and is nothing but a devil." |

[Minister Louis Farrakhan, on the Donahue Show 1991:] |
|
"I, uhm... I don't agree with him because I don't have to follow anyone to defend myself. |
|
I think that, uhm... there are, every people, uhm... |
|
All people have been... frustrated in some form from another. |
|
But, uhm... |
|
I don't agree with him, I don't follow a man, and I don't think anyone should follow one man. |
|
I think they should follow their conscience! |
|
I think the most of them, most negroes, that they feel sorry for themselves... |
|
And I think that this keep some that, uhm... |
|
Much more than they would be. |
|
If they didn't feel so sorry for themselves." |
|
[Malcolm X samples ("Oxford Union Debate (December 3, 1964) "):] |
|
"If Martin Luther King, Roy Wilkins or any of these uuh... |
|
Compromising negroes who say exactly what the white man wants to hear... |
|
Is interviewed anywhere in the country, you don't get anybody to offset what they say. |
|
But whenever a black man... |
|
Stands up and says something that... |
|
White people don't like then the first thing that white man does, |
|
Is run around and try and find somebody to say something... |
|
To, to uuhm... offset... |
|
What has just been said! |
|
This is NATURAL! |
|
But it is done." |
|
[Minister Louis Farrakhan, on the Donahue Show 1991:] |
|
"You know what I think? |
|
I just think... I think you, you... you givin' up! (givin' up on what?) |
|
An ideal of an integrated America, the dream of Martin Luther King, I think you givin' up. |
|
This is not, I'm not tryna be a "Smarterica", I'm calling you honestly... |
|
That I think you givin' up! " |
|
[Minister Louis Farrakhan, on the Donahue Show 1991:] |
|
"You know, it's interesting... how... white folk... sit here... |
|
Thinking that... I have a reason... to lie to you... |
|
As though you are so powerful. |
|
And you are so wonderful... |
|
And I am so ashamed of my words, that I have to twist and turn, please! |
|
You are not dealing... with that kind of man. |
|
You're dealing with a man... who means what he says. |
|
And says what he means, now listen! " [beat stops] |
