The only thing white people have that black people need, or should want, is power--and no one holds power forever. White people cannot, in the generality, be taken as models of how to live. Rather, the white man is himself in sore need of new standards, which will release him from his confusion and place him once again in fruitful communion with the depths of his own being. Anonymous
About This Quote

Malcolm X had a philosophy about the white man. He did not agree with white people being “models of how to live.” He did not think white people had the ability to release him from his confusion and place him once again in fruitful communion with the depths of his own being. Rather, the white man was himself in sore need of new standards, which will release him from his confusion and place him once again in fruitful communion with the depths of his own being.
