The bullet of the ballet by malcolm x speech.

so as you can see, brothers and sisters, today – this afternoon it is not our intention to discuss religion. we're going to forget religion. if we bring up religion we'll be in an argument. and the best way to keep away from arguments and differences, as i said earlier, put your religion at home, in the closet, keep it between you and your god. because if it hasn't done anything more for you than it has, you need to forget it anyway. [laughter, applause]
whether you are a christian or a muslim or a nationalist, we all have the same problem. they don't hang you because you're a baptist; they hang you 'cause you're black. [applause] they don't attack me because i'm a muslim. they attack me 'cause i'm black. they attacked all of us for the same reason. all of us catch hell from the same enemy. we're all in the same bag, in the same boat.
we suffer political oppression, economic exploitation and social degradation. all of 'em from the same enemy. the government has failed us. you can't deny that. any time you're living in the 20th century, 1964, and you walking around here singing "we shall overcome," the government has failed you. [applause] this is part of what's wrong with you, you do too much singing. [laughter] today it's time to stop singing and start swinging. [laughter, applause]
you can't sing up on freedom. but you can swing up on some freedom. [cheering]cassius clay can sing. but singing didn't him to become the heavyweight champion of the world. swinging him. [applause]
so this government has failed us. the government itself has failed us. and the white liberals who have been posing as our friends have failed us. and once we see that all of these other sources to which we've turned have failed, we stop turning to them and turn to ourselves. we need a self- program, a do-it-yourself philosophy, a do-it-right-now philosophy, a it's-already-too-late philosophy. this is what you and i need to get with. and the only time – the only way we're going to solve our problem is with a self- program. before we can get a self- program started, we have to have a self- philosophy. black nationalism is a self- philosophy.
what's so good about it – you can stay right in the church where you are and still take black nationalism as your philosophy. you can stay in any kind of civic organization that you belong to and still take black nationalism as your philosophy. you can be an atheist and still take black nationalism as your philosophy. this is a philosophy that eliminates the necessity for division and argument, 'cause if you're black, you should be thinking black. and if you're black and you not thinking black at this late date, well, i'm sorry for you. [applause]
once you change your philosophy, you change your thought pattern. once you change your thought pattern you change your attitude. once you change your attitude it changes your behavior pattern. and then you go on into some action. as long as you got a sit-down philosophy you'll have a sit-down thought pattern. and as long as you think that old sit-down thought, you'll be in some kind of sit-down action. they'll have you sitting in everywhere. [laughter]
it's not so good to refer to what you're going to do as a sit-in. that right there castrates you. right there it brings you down. what goes with it? what – think of the image of someone sitting. an old woman can sit. an old man can sit. a chump can sit, a coward can sit, anything can sit. well, you and i been sitting long enough and it's time for us today to start doing some standing and some fighting to back that up. [applause]
