Malcolm X Radical Thinking


One of the most important things that Malcolm X said during this speech was





"The only way we can bring about change is talk to kind of language speak the language that they understand. The racialist never understands the non-violent language. The racialist we have been spoken his language to us for 400 years"





I think that this is a very important statement because it is Malcolm X gradually introducing his radical ideas to the people. He wanted change to come to America and believed that the only way to bring about this change was by radical thinking and by involving the normal person, he couldn't do it on his own. He need their support and them behind him to make his "Revolution" possible. He also makes reference to the 400 years that the black man has endured racism and slavery in America and uses this to make people think about what has happened to them and how they can change this. He was very clever with this in particular as he used it to increase solidarity with in the black community and he knew that if he did this he would gain more support for his beliefs and ideas.
