NY 105-8999 MALCOLM X: che way of achieving tnis. Now, may be you becser put onthe record right now just how you would go about the physical side of achieving these things. If the United States Government is on record as being for desegregation and when these Negro civil rights leaders become involved in demonstrations against segregation, what they areactually doing is trying to break down laws or praczices wnich the Supreme Court nas labeled as criminal. Now, if the integrationists are against segregationists, who are criminals, then the law should be on the side of the initesrationist demanstrators but in every instance wnere Negroes are trying co integrate or desegregate, you'i2 find that sne one wno is opposing them is the law itself. It is the policeman wno s§icks police dogs on them. So when che yourg Negro thac's coming up now is beginning to see the deceit and she hypocrisy of “he entire civil rights struggle and they are ready and willing to do what ever is necessam, to see that the law of che lang be enforced or les the law enforcers admit snat iz is no: wne law of the land, and his is nos violence. Tnis is a situation wnere Hezrdes are beginning co see where, if the Government itself cannot step in and protec us .rom the violence of che whites, white suprenists, white rascists, wnite bigots, sner iz is time for Nezroes to do what ever is ~ecessary to defend ourselves and to protec. ourselves even if i: means taking rifles and snovzuns and driving away from our door those rase’s 7s and those bizo:s who are brutalizing Nezroes, and tnis is some-cning nat has to be said and if nobody else will say it, then one of che reasons shat I am now ous nere on my own is chat I feel iz snould be said and I am going :o say it and i. saying it in the capacity that T am now in it won't embarrass anybody or put anybody on she spot. Bue its time for Negroes *o defend themselves. tf
