- Malcolm X - “if the black man was not so eager to surrender his gun and submit to the gun laws of the liberals, then many of the atrocities perpetuated against the black man would not have occurred.” X - “I much prefer to stand shoulder to shoulder with an armed man who is honest rather than an unarmed Liberal who lies.” X - “Concerning nonviolence, it is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself when he is the constant victim of brutal attacks.”
