1、Malcolm X: Message 仅供参考欢迎阅读.and during the few moments that we have left, we want to have just an off-the-cuff chat between you and me - us. we want to talk right down to earth in a language that everybody here can easily understand. we all agree tonight, all of the speakers have agreed, that americ
2、a has a very serious problem. not only does america have a very serious problem, but our people have a very serious problem. america s problem is us. we re her problem. the only reason she has a problem is she doesn t want us here. and every time you look at yourself, be you black, brown, red, or ye
3、llow - a so-called negro - you represent a person who poses such a serious problem for america because you re not wanted. once you face this as a fact, then you can start plotting a course that will make you appear intelligent, instead of unintelligent. what you and i need to do is learn to forget o
4、ur differences. when we come together, we don t come together as baptists or methodists. you don t catch hell cause you re a baptist, and you don t catch hell cause you re a methodist. you don t catch hell cause you re a methodist or baptist. you don t catch hell because you re a democrat or a repub
5、lican. you don t catch hell because you re a mason or an elk. and you sure don t catch hell cause you re an american; cause if you was an american, you wouldn t catch no hell. you catch hell cause you re a black man. you catch hell, all of us catch hell, for the same reason. so we are all black peop
6、le, so-called negroes, second-class citizens, ex-slaves. you are nothing but a sic ex-slave. you don t like to be told that. but what else are you? you are ex-slaves. you didn t come here on the mayflower. you came here on a slave ship - in chains, like a horse, or a cow, or a chicken. and you were
7、brought here by the people who came here on the mayflower. you were brought here by the so-called pilgrims, or founding fathers. they were the ones who brought you here. we have a common enemy. we have this in common: we have a common oppressor, a common exploiter, and a common discriminator. but on
8、ce we all realize that we have this common enemy, then we unite on the basis of what we have in common. and what we have foremost in common is that enemy - the white man. he s an enemy to all of us. i know some of you all think that some of them aren t enemies. time will tell. in bandung back in, i
9、think, 1954, was the first unity meeting in centuries of black people. and once you study what happened at the bandung conference, and the results of the bandung conference, it actually serves as a model for the same procedure you and i can use to get our problems solved. at bandung all the nations
10、came together. their were dark nations from africa and asia. some of them were buddhists. some of them were muslim. some of them were christians. some of them were confucianists; some were atheists. despite their religious differences, they came together. some were communists; some were socialists;
11、some were capitalists. despite their economic and political differences, they came together. all of them were black, brown, red, or yellow. the number-one thing that was not allowed to attend the bandung conference was the white man. he couldn t come. once they excluded the white man, they found tha
12、t they could get together. once they kept him out, everybody else fell right in and fell in line. this is the thing that you and i have to understand. and these people who came together didn t have nuclear weapons; they didn t have jet planes; they didn t have all of the heavy armaments that the whi
13、te man has. but they had unity. they were able to submerge their little petty differences and agree on one thing: that though one african came from kenya and was being colonized by the englishman, and another african came from the congo and was being colonized by the belgian, and another african cam
14、e from guinea and was being colonized by the french, and another came from angola and was being colonized by the portuguese. when they came to the bandung conference, they looked at the portuguese, and at the frenchman, and at the englishman, and at the other - dutchman - and learned or realized tha
15、t the one thing that all of them had in common: they were all from europe, they were all europeans, blond, blue-eyed and white-skinned. they began to recognize who their enemy was. the same man that was colonizing our people in kenya was colonizing our people in the congo. the same one in the congo
16、was colonizing our people in south africa, and in southern rhodesia, and in burma, and in india, and in afghanistan, and in pakistan. they realized all over the world where the dark man was being oppressed, he was being oppressed by the white man; where the dark man was being exploited, he was being
17、 exploited by the white man. so they got together under this basis - that they had a common enemy. and when you and i here in detroit and in michigan and in america who have been awakened today look around us, we too realize here in america we all have a common enemy, whether he s in georgia or mich
18、igan, whether he s in california or new york. he s the same man: blue eyes and blond hair and pale skin - same man. so what we have to do is what they did. they agreed to stop quarreling among themselves. any little spat that they had, they d settle it among themselves, go into a huddle - don t let
19、the enemy know that you got sic a disagreement. instead of us airing our differences in public, we have to realize we re all the same family. and when you have a family squabble, you don t get out on the sidewalk. if you do, everybody calls you uncouth, unrefined, uncivilized, savage. if you don t m
20、ake it at home, you settle it at home; you get in the closet - argue it out behind closed doors. and then when you come out on the street, you pose a common front, a united front. and this is what we need to do in the community, and in the city, and in the state. we need to stop airing our differenc
21、es in front of the white man. put the white man out of our meetings, number one, and then sit down and talk shop with each other. that s all you gotta do. i would like to make a few comments concerning the difference between the black revolution and the negro revolution. there s a difference. are th
22、ey both the same? and if they re not, what is the difference? what is the difference between a black revolution and a negro revolution? first, what is a revolution? sometimes i m inclined to believe that many of our people are using this word revolution loosely, without taking careful consideration
23、of what this word actually means, and what its historic characteristics are. when you study the historic nature of revolutions, the motive of a revolution, the objective of a revolution, and the result of a revolution, and the methods used in a revolution, you may change words. you may devise anothe
24、r program. you may change your goal and you may change your mind. look at the american revolution in 1776. that revolution was for what? for land. why did they want land? independence. how was it carried out? bloodshed. number one, it was based on land, the basis of independence. and the only way th
25、ey could get it was bloodshed. the french revolution - what was it based on? the land-less against the landlord. what was it for? land. how did they get it? bloodshed. was no love lost; was no compromise; was no negotiation. i m telling you, you don t know what a revolution is. cause when you find o
26、ut what it is, you ll get back in the alley; you ll get out of the way. the russian revolution - what was it based on? land. the land-less against the landlord. how did they bring it about? bloodshed. you haven t got a revolution that doesn t involve bloodshed. and you re afraid to bleed. i said, yo
27、u re afraid to bleed. as long as the white man sent you to korea, you bled. he sent you to germany, you bled. he sent you to the south pacific to fight the japanese, you bled. you bleed for white people. but when it comes time to seeing your own churches being bombed and little black girls be murder
28、ed, you haven t got no blood. you bleed when the white man says bleed; you bite when the white man says bite; and you bark when the white man says bark. i hate to say this about us, but it s true. how are you going to be nonviolent in mississippi, as violent as you were in korea? how can you justify
29、 being nonviolent in mississippi and alabama, when your churches are being bombed, and your little girls are being murdered, and at the same time you re going to violent with hitler, and tojo, and somebody else that you don t even know? if violence is wrong in america, violence is wrong abroad. if i
30、t s wrong to be violent defending black women and black children and black babies and black men, then it s wrong for america to draft us and make us violent abroad in defense of her. and if it is right for america to draft us, and teach us how to be violent in defense of her, then it is right for yo
31、u and me to do whatever is necessary to defend our own people right here in this country. the chinese revolution - they wanted land. they threw the british out, along with the uncle tom chinese. yeah, they did. they set a good example. when i was in prison, i read an article - don t be shocked when
32、i say i was in prison. you re still in prison. that s what america means: prison. when i was in prison, i read an article in life magazine showing a little chinese girl, nine years old; her father was on his hands and knees and she was pulling the trigger cause he was an uncle tom chinaman, when the
33、y had the revolution over there, they took a whole generation of uncle toms - just wiped them out. and within ten years that little girl become sic a full-grown woman. no more toms in china. and today it s one of the toughest, roughest, most feared countries on this earth - by the white man. cause t
34、here are no uncle toms over there. of all our studies, history is best qualified to reward our research. and when you see that you ve got problems, all you have to do is examine the historic method used all over the world by others who have problems similar to yours. and once you see how they got th
35、eirs straight, then you know how you can get yours straight. there s been a revolution, a black revolution, going on in africa. in kenya, the mau mau were revolutionaries; they were the ones who made the word uhuru kenyan word for freedom . they were the ones who brought it to the fore. the mau mau,
36、 they were revolutionaries. they believed in scorched earth. they knocked everything aside that got in their way, and their revolution also was based on land, a desire for land. in algeria, the northern part of africa, a revolution took place. the algerians were revolutionists; they wanted land. fra
37、nce offered to let them be integrated into france. they told france: to hell with france. they wanted some land, not some france. and they engaged in a bloody battle. so i cite these various revolutions, brothers and sisters, to show you - you don t have a peaceful revolution. you don t have a turn-
38、the-other-cheek revolution. there s no such thing as a nonviolent revolution. the only kind of revolution that s nonviolent is the negro revolution. the only revolution based on loving your enemy is the negro revolution. the only revolution in which the goal is a desegregated lunch counter, a desegr
39、egated theater, a desegregated park, and a desegregated public toilet; you can sit down next to white folks on the toilet. that s no revolution. revolution is based on land. land is the basis of all independence. land is the basis of freedom, justice, and equality. the white man knows what a revolut
40、ion is. he knows that the black revolution is world-wide in scope and in nature. the black revolution is sweeping asia, sweeping africa, is rearing its head in latin america. the cuban revolution - that s a revolution. they overturned the system. revolution is in asia. revolution is in africa. and t
41、he white man is screaming because he sees revolution in latin america. how do you think he ll react to you when you learn what a real revolution is? you don t know what a revolution is. if you did, you wouldn t use that word. a revolution is bloody. revolution is hostile. revolution knows no comprom
42、ise. revolution overturns and destroys everything that gets in its way. and you, sitting around here like a knot on the wall, saying, i m going to love these folks no matter how much they hate me. no, you need a revolution. whoever heard of a revolution where they lock arms, as reverend cleage was p
43、ointing out beautifully, singing we shall overcome ? just tell me. you don t do that in a revolution. you don t do any singing; you re too busy swinging. it s based on land. a revolutionary wants land so he can set up his own nation, an independent nation. these negroes aren t asking for no nation.
44、they re trying to crawl back on the plantation. when you want a nation, that s called nationalism. when the white man became involved in a revolution in this country against england, what was it for? he wanted this land so he could set up another white nation. that s white nationalism. the american
45、revolution was white nationalism. the french revolution was white nationalism. the russian revolution too - yes, it was - white nationalism. you don t think so? why do you think khrushchev and mao can t get their heads together? white nationalism. all the revolutions that s going on in asia and afri
46、ca today are based on what? black nationalism. a revolutionary is a black nationalist. he wants a nation. i was reading some beautiful words by reverend cleage, pointing out why he couldn t get together with someone else here in the city because all of them were afraid of being identified with black
47、 nationalism. if you re afraid of black nationalism, you re afraid of revolution. and if you love revolution, you love black nationalism. to understand this, you have to go back to what the young brother here referred to as the house negro and the field negro - back during slavery. there was two kin
48、ds of slaves. there was the house negro and the field negro. the house negroes - they lived in the house with master, they dressed pretty good, they ate good cause they ate his food - what he left. they lived in the attic or the basement, but still they lived near the master; and they loved their ma
49、ster more than the master loved himself. they would give their life to save the master s house quicker than the master would. the house negro, if the master said, we got a good house here, the house negro would say, yeah, we got a good house here. whenever the master said we, he said we. that s how you can tell a house negro. if the master s house caught on fire, the house negro would fight harder to put the blaze out than the master would. if the master got sick, the house negro would say, what s the matter, boss, we sick? we sick! he identifie
