Malcolm X - Ballet or the Bullet speech quotes, Detroit, 1964

Malcolm X 
"the ballot or the bullet" speech in Detroit [1964]
"freedom fighter [ on all fronts ]"
 "If we bring up religion we'll be in an argument."
so  keep religion between us and our god to find unity as black community.
Islam is his religious philosophy
but his political philosophy is black nationalism.
"pretext of integration" is crazy.
The Man is becoming richer and richer and you are becoming poorer and poorer.
"we suffer political oppression [...] this government has failed us"
"you do too much singin' [ and ] today  it's time to stop singin' and start swingin'"
a "do it yourself" "self-help philosophy"
"[Independence through Nationalism]"
"second class citizen [as a] 20th century slave"
"victims of Americanism [of] so-called Democracy" "hypocrisy"
"experienced the American nightmare"
"Romney is a dixie governor"
"[Whitehouse v doghouse]"

"[south did not lose the civil war...]"
