![]() ![]() LOMAX: Wouldn’t you say the Negro has a nation–America? ![]() ![]() Most of all he must have love and devotion for his own kind. This is why we teach that in order for a man to really understand himself he must be part of a nation he must have some land of his own, a God of his own, a language of his own. You see, sir, when a man understands who he is, who God is, who the devil is… then he can pick himself up out of the gutter he can clean himself up and stand up like a man should before his God. It has taken us that long to get the deaf, dumb, and blind black men in the wilderness of North America to wake up and understand who they are. The white devil’s time is up it has been up for almost fifty years now. MALCOLM X: Yes, sir, that is what The Honorable Elijah Muhammad teaches us. By now, I think, everybody knows your position that the white man is a devil, a man incapable of doing right you hold that the black man is of God’s divine nature, that he fell from power because of weakness you hold further that the white man’s rule over the earth was scheduled to end in 1914, but that his end has been delayed because of the need to get the American Negro into the fold of the black brotherhood. LOMAX: Minister Malcolm, we are all by now familiar with your basic philosophy we have heard you speak, seen you on television, and read your remarks in magazines and newspapers. ![]()
