PLAYBOY: According to ie: ‘tes considered definitive, /‘¥ ven's father, Johenn, - was a court tenor in Col C” Haydn's parents were Croat sluabus' parents were Italian —— : ; OLM X: Whole black empires, like the Moorish, have been whitened to hide the fact that # great black empire had conquered a white empire even before America was dis- covered, The Moorish civilization - black Africans ~ conquered and ruled Spain; they kept the light burning in Southern Europe. The vord "Moor" means “black,” by the way. Egyptian civilization ie a classic example of how the white man stole great African ‘cultures and makes them appear today as white European, The black nation of Egypt is .the only country that has a science named after its culture: Egyptology. The ancient Sumerians, a black-skinned people, occupied the Middle Eastern areas and were contem- poray with the Egyptian civilization. ‘The Incas, the Agteca, the Mayans, all dark~ skinned Indian people, had a highly developed culture here in America, in what is now Mexico and northern South America. These people had mastered agriculture at the time when European white people were still living in mud huts and eating weeds. But vhite children, or black children, or grownups here today in America don‘t set to read this in the average books they are exposed to. PLAYSO¥: Can you cite any authoriative historical documents for these ‘observations? MALCOLM X: I can cite a great many, sir, You could start with Herodotus, the Greek historian. He outright described the Bgyptians as "black, with wooly hair," And the Anericen archaeologist and Egyptologist James Henry Breasted did the same thing. PLAYBOY: You seem to have based your thesis on the premise that all nonwhite races are necessarily black. MALCOLM X; Mr. Muhammad says that the red, the brown and the yellow are indeed all part of the black nation. Which means that black, brown, red, yellow, #11 are brothers, all are cre family. The white one is a stranger. He's the odd fellow. PLAYBCY: Since your classification of black peoples apparently includes the light- skinned Criental, Middle Eastern and possibly even Latin races as well as the darker Indian and Negroid strains, just how do you decide how light-skinned it's permissable to be before being condemned as white? And if Caucasian white are devils by nature, do you classify people by degreas of devilishness according to the lightness of their skin? MALCOLM X: I don't worry about these little technicalities. But I know that white so- ciety has always considered that one drop of black blood makes you black. To me, if one drop can do this, it only shows the power of one drop of black blood, And I know another thing - that Negroes who used to be light enough to pass for white have seen the handwriting on the wall and are beginning to come. back and identify with their own kind, And white people who also are seeing the pendulum of time catching up wich them are now trying to jcin with blacks, or even find traces of black blood in their own veins, hoping that it will eave them from the csetastrophe they see ahead. But no devil can fool God, Muslims have a little poem about them. It goes, “One drop will make you black, and will also in days to come save your soul." PLAYBOY: As one of this vast elite, do you hold the familiar majority attitude toward minority groups - regarding the white race, in this case, as inferior in quality as well as quantity to what you call the “black nation."? MALCOLM K: Thoughtful white people know they are inferior to black people. Even East- land knows it. Anyone who has studied the genetic phase of biology knows that white is considered recessive and black is considered dominant. When you want strong coffee, you ask for black coffee. If you want it light, you want it weak, integrated with white milk. Just like these Negroes who weaken themselves and their race by this in- tegrating and intermixing with whites. If you want bread with no nutritional value, you ask for white bread. All the good that was in it has been bleached out of it, and it will constipate you. If you want pure flour, you ask for dark flour, whole-wheat flour. * If you want pure sugar, you want dark sugar. PLAYBOY: If all whites are devilish by nature, as you have alleged, and if black and white are essentially opposite, as you have just stated, do you view all black men - with the exception of their non-Muslim leaders ~- as fundamentally angelicT | MALCOLM X: No, there is plenty wrong with Negroes. They have no society. They're robots, automatons. No minds of their own. I hate to say that about us, but it's the truth, They are a black body with a white brain. Like the monster Frankenstein. The top part is your bourgeois Negro. He's not interested in his poor black brothers, He's 6 SE roe RS er ARERR TES TS pene A
