○  malcolm x: the ballot or the bullet  ○

viously were rice farmers got together and ran the heavily-mechanized french army out of indochina. you don't need it -- modern warfare today won't work. this is the day of the guerrilla. they did the same thing in algeria. algerians, who were nothing but bedouins, took a rine and sneaked off to the hills, and de gaulle and all of his highfalutin' war machinery couldn't defeat those guerrillas. nowhere on this earth does the white man win in a guerrilla warfare. it's not his speed. just as guerrilla warfare is prevailing in asia and in parts of africa and in parts of latin america, you've got to be mighty naive, or you've got to play the black man cheap, if you don't think some day he's going to wake up and find that it's got to be the ballot or the bullet.

l would like to say, in closing, a few things concerning the muslim mosque, inc., which we established recently in new york city. it's true we're muslims and our religion is islam, but we don't mix our religion with our politics and our economics and our social and civil activities -- not any more we keep our religion in our mosque. after our religious services are over, then as muslims we become involved in political action, economic action and social and civic action. we become involved with anybody, any where, any time and in any manner that's designed to eliminate the evils, the political, economic and social evils that are afflicting the people of our community.

the political philosophy of black nationalism means that the black man should control the politics and the politicians in his own community; no more. the black man in the black community has to be re-educated into the science of politics so he will know what politics is supposed to bring him in return. don't be throwing out any ballots. a ballot is like a bullet. you don't throw your ballots until you see a target, and if that target is not within your reach, keep your ballot in your pocket.
