Talk:Malcolm X

From Wikiquote

"Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery." appears on both attributed and Malcolm X speaks, where should it fit?

I have a concern: The picture of Malcolm X is from the Spike Lee movie, it is not a photo of the actual man.

[edit] Coffee Speech

Does anybody have the words for the speech he made about coffee and adding cream to it etc. It is used at the start of "Bring tha Noise" from "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back" by "Public Enemy". Thanks. TheTrojanHought 17:11, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] American Polemic : An Examination of Truth, Justice and the American Way

Has anyone even see this source? According to Amazon it is out of print (and yet was published in 2007?) and that appears to be the only sign of its existence. I'm removing the quote because it is disingenuous to attribute quotes to X without some way of verifying the source and then the reliability of that source. Should anyone feel it should be reinstated, it is this:

   The death of over 120 white people is a very beautiful thing.
   * Speech in Los Angeles upon learning of a plane crash (3 June 1962), as quoted in American Polemic : An Examination of Truth, Justice and the American Way (2007)‎ by Theodore Mettlach, p. 219
