"I read once, passingly, about a man named Shakespeare. I only read about him passingly, but I remember one thing he wrote that kind of moved me. He put it in the mouth of Hamlet, I think, it was, who said, "To be or not to be." He was in doubt about something. Whether it was nobler in the mind of man to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, moderation, or to take up arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them. And I go for that. If you take up arms, you'll end it, but if you sit around and wait for the one who's in power to make up his mind that he should end it, you'll be waiting a long time. And in my opinion, the young generation of whites, blacks, browns, whatever else there is, you're living at a time of extremism, a time of revolution, a time when there's got to be a change. People in power have misused it and now there has to be a change and a better world has to be built and the only way it's going to be built is with extreme methods. And I, for one, will join in with anyone, I don't care what color you are, as long as you want to change this miserable condition that exists on this earth."

Visiting the UK and Oxford Union Debate

In late 1964, Malcolm visited the UK. By that time, he was a well-known world figure and was honoured with an invitation to participate in a classic debate at Oxford Union. The debate took place on December 3, 1964. [6]

On 12 February 1965 Malcolm X visited Smethwick, near Birmingham, which had become a byword for racial division after the 1964 general election when the Conservative Party won the parliamentary seat using the slogan, amongst others, "If you want a nigger for your neighbour, vote Labour" [6]. He visited a pub with a non-coloured policy, and purposely visited a street where the local council would buy houses and sell them to white families, to avoid black families moving in.

C'est frappant comment ses mots resonnent encore aujourd'hui, il pourrait avoir dit ces mots 42 ans plus tard sans aucune modification. Le monde manque cruellement que ses grands hommes soient sur le devant de la scene, loin devant ce que la "scene" y a mis.

Wa salâm.

Extrait:

MALCOLM X: When I was in -- on the pilgrimage, I had close contact with Muslims whose skin within America would be classified as white and with Muslims who themselves would be classified as white in America, but these particular Muslims didn't call themselves white. They looked upon themselves at human beings, as part of the human family and therefore they looked upon all other segments of the human family as part of that same family. Now, they had a different look or different air or different attitude than that which is reflected in the attitude of the man in America who calls himself white. So, I said that if Islam had done this -- done that for them, perhaps if the white men in America would study Islam, perhaps it could do the same thing for him.

REPORTER: Malcolm, just -- are you prepared to go into the United Nations at this point and ask that charges be brought against the United States for its treatment of American Negroes?

MALCOLM X: Oh, yes. Oh, yes. Please. The audience will have to be quiet. Yes. As I pointed out, when I was doing my traveling that nations look -- African nations and Asian nations and Latin American nations look very hypocritical when they stand up in the United Nations condemning the racist practices of South Africa and that which is practiced by Portugal and Angola and saying nothing in the U.N. about the racist practices that are manifest every day against Negroes in this society.

Malcom X... Est-ce qu'il y a qu'en Amérique qu'on peut voir pointer des leaders comme lui ?Est-ce que ce n'est pas quelque chose qui nous manque en France franchement ? Des mouvements comme ça qui soient des vrais groupes de lobby ?
