This is a society whose government doesnt hesitate to inflict the most brutal form of punishment and oppression upon dark-skinned people all over the world. But all of that violence that they display at the international level, when you and I want just a little bit of freedom, were supposed to be nonviolent. Theyre violent. Theyre violent in Korea, theyre violent in Germany, theyre violent in the South Pacific, theyre violent in Cuba, theyre violent wherever they go. But when it comes time for you and me to protect ourselves against lynchers, they tell us to be nonviolent. We should defend ourselves. And when I say that we should defend ourselves against the violence of others, they use their press skillfully to make the world think that Im calling on violence, period. I wouldnt call on anybody to be violent without a cause. ...the press calls us racist in reverse. With skillful manipulating of the press, theyre able to make the victim look like the criminal, and the criminal look like the victim. Right now in New York we had a couple cases where police grabbed the brother and beat him unmercifully -- and then charged him with assaulting them. They used the press to make it look like hes the criminal and theyre the victim. This is how they do it, and if you study how they do it [t]here, then youll know how they do it over here. Its the same game going all the time, and if you and I dont awaken and see what this man is doing to us, then itll be too late. - Malcolm X
