Malcolm X: Where the government fails to protect
Where the government fails to protect the Negro he is
entitled to do it himself. He is within his rights. I have found the only white
elements who do not want this advice given to undefensive Blacks are the racist
liberals. They use the press to project us in the image of violence. There is
an element of whites who are nothing but cold, animalistic racists. That
element is the one that controls or has strong influence in the power
structure. It uses the press skillfully to feed statistics to the public to make
it appear that the rate of crime in the black community, or community of
nonwhite people, is at such a high level. It gives the impression or the image
that everyone in that community is criminal. And as soon as the public accepts
the fact that the dark-skinned community consists largely of criminals or
people who are dirty, then it makes it possible for the power structure to set
up a police-state system. Which will make it permissible in the minds of even
the well-meaning white public for them to come in and use all kinds of police
methods to brutally suppress the struggle on the part of these people against
segregation, discrimination, and other acts that are unleashed against them
that are absolutely unjust.
