„A muzulmánok „X”-e eredeti afrikai nevük helyett áll, melyet soha nem ismerhetnek meg. Az én „X”-em a „Little” fehér rabszolgatartó név helyébe került, melyet valami kék szemű, Little nevű ördög erőszakolt rá atyai őseimre. (…) Mr. Muhammad azt tanította, hogy addig fogjuk viselni ezt az „X”-et, amíg nem tér vissza maga az Isten, és szentséges szájából Ő maga ad nekünk szent nevet.”

Képzeljék el! És a lámpa éppen zöldre váltott. Így feleltem: „Szívesen rázok kezet minden emberrel. Ön az?”
The next day I was in my car driving along the freeway when at a red light another car pulled alongside. A white woman was driving and on the passenger's side, next to me, was a white man. "Malcolm X!" he called out-and when I looked, he stuck his hand out of his car, across at me, grinning. "Do you mind shaking hands with a white man?" Imagine that! Just as the traffic light turned green, I told him, "I don't mind shaking hands with human beings. Are you one?"
