MALCOLM X: MING: MALCOLM X: nr What do you mean you thought? But you can't say right now that that's what you were fighting for, and if you were fighting for it you didn’t get it. Well that’s right we didn't any more than our fathers got democracy when they fought World War I. But all this does is convince ae as 1 said to Senator DOUGLAS before we went on the air that war apparentiy isn't a very good instrument of political and social advance. That's what that proves. Senator DOUGLAS pointed out that what I was advocating or at least implying was a& coming World War. ADLAI STEVENSON in the New York Times pointed out that what was going on in the United Fations is a skin game and he said that this might result as what is known in the UN as the skin game. Earlier when we vere talking about TOYNBEE you mentioned SPENGLER (ph.), SPENGLER's book that he was most famous for was the Decline of the West, but he wrote another book in the early 1930s that was less famous called The Hour of Decision and the thesis of that book was that in the world struggle it would first be based upon class and then it would develop into a race struggle. When you study the history of the world all of the struggles and ailments were based upon class. Now it is shifting into a racial block all over this earth and 4f the sides line up along racial lines and you have dnerica aligned with Russia and China aligned with the people of Africa and Latin America and Asia where would the Negro be in this country. In the middle, squarely in the middle and that's what I'm concerned about. and this is when you'll find that the generation that is coming up and sees this will be just as ready and willing to escape 30 that be can be in a land. surrounded by people that look something like he does instead of in a land where people have been hostile toward hiz all of his tine here. - 37 -
