April 8th, 1964:

(Malcolm X responding to a question about Rev. Bruce Klunder, who was killed by a bulldozer while demonstrating against school segregation in Cleveland)

“…Sir? I didn’t put him under the bulldozer either. Uncle Sam put him under the bulldozer. The Supreme Court put him under the bulldozer. His death still didn’t desegregate the school system. We’re not going to stand up and applaud any contribution made by some individual white person when 22 million black people are dying every day, What he did—good, good, great. What he did—good. Hooray, hooray, hooray. Now Lumumba was murdered, Medger Evers was murdered, Mack Parker was murdered, Emmett Till was murdered, my own father was murdered. You tell that stuff to somebody else. It’s time that some white people started dying in this thing…”
