Ta-Nehisi Coates Quotes

Malcolm Was The First Political Pragmatist I Knew, The First Honest Man I'd Ever Heard. He Was Unconcerned With Making The People Who Believed They Were White Comfortable In Their Belief. If He Was Angry, He Said So. If He Hated, He Hated Because It Was Human For The Enslaved To Hate The Enslaver, Natural As Prometheus Hating The Birds. He Would Not Turn The Other Cheek For You. He Would Not Be A Better Man For You. He Would Not Be Your Morality. Malcolm Spoke Like A Man Who Was Free, Like A Black Man Above The Laws That Proscribed Our Imagination.
