1、英语演讲稿英语演讲稿- - MalcolmX:MessageToTheGrassRootsMalcolmX:MessageToTheGrassRoots。 。 。And during the few moments that we have left， we want to have just an off-the-cuff chat between you and me - us。 We want to talk right down to earth in a language that everybody here can easily understand。 We all agree
2、tonight， all of the speakers have agreed， that America has a very serious problem。 Not only does America have a very serious problem， but our people have a very serious problem。 Americas problem is us。 Were her problem。 The only reason she has a problem is she doesnt want us here。 And every time you
3、 look at yourself， be you black， brown， red， or yellow - a so-called Negro - you represent a person who poses such a serious problem for America because youre not wanted。 Once you face this as a fact， then you can start plotting a course that will make you appear intelligent， instead of unintelligen
4、t。What you and I need to do is learn to forget our differences。 When we come together， we dont come together as Baptists or Methodists。 You dont catch hell cause youre a Baptist， and you dont catch hell cause youre a Methodist。 You dont catch hell cause youre a Methodist or Baptist。 You dont catch h
5、ell because youre a Democrat or a Republican。 You dont catch hell because youre a Mason or an Elk。 And you sure dont catch hell cause youre an American; cause if you was an American， you wouldnt catch no hell。 You catch hell cause youre a black man。 You catch hell， all of us catch hell， for the same
6、 reason。So we are all black people， so-called Negroes， second-class citizens， ex-slaves。 You are nothing but a sic ex-slave。 You dont like to be told that。 But what else are you? You are ex-slaves。 You didnt come here on the “Mayflower。“ You came here on a slave ship - in chains， like a horse， or a
7、cow， or a chicken。 And you were brought here by the people who came here on the “Mayflower。“ You were brought here by the so-called Pilgrims， or Founding Fathers。 They were the ones who brought you here。We have a common enemy。 We have this in common: We have a common oppressor， a common exploiter， a
8、nd a common discriminator。 But once we all realize that we have this common enemy， then we unite on the basis of what we have in common。 And what we have foremost in common is that enemy - the white man。 Hes an enemy to all of us。 I know some of you all think that some of them arent enemies。 Time wi
9、ll tell。In Bandung back in， I think， 1954， was the first unity meeting in centuries of black people。 And once you study what happened at the Bandung conference， and the results of the Bandung conference， it actually serves as a model for the same procedure you and I can use to get our problems solve
10、d。 At Bandung all the nations came together。 Their were dark nations from Africa and Asia。 Some of them were Buddhists。 Some of them were Muslim。 Some of them were Christians。 Some of them were Confucianists; some were atheists。 Despite their religious differences， they came together。 Some were comm
11、unists; some were socialists; some were capitalists。 Despite their economic and political differences， they came together。 All of them were black， brown， red， or yellow。The number-one thing that was not allowed to attend the Bandung conference was the white man。 He couldnt come。 Once they excluded t
12、he white man， they found that they could get together。 Once they kept him out， everybody else fell right in and fell in line。 This is the thing that you and I have to understand。 And these people who came together didnt have nuclear weapons; they didnt have jet planes; they didnt have all of the hea
13、vy armaments that the white man has。 But they had unity。They were able to submerge their little petty differences and agree on one thing: That though one African came from Kenya and was being colonized by the Englishman， and another African came from the Congo and was being colonized by the Belgian，
14、 and another African came from Guinea and was being colonized by the French， and another came from Angola and was being colonized by the Portuguese。 When they came to the Bandung conference， they looked at the Portuguese， and at the Frenchman， and at the Englishman， and at the other - Dutchman - and
15、 learned or realized that the one thing that all of them had in common: they were all from Europe， they were all Europeans， blond， blue-eyed and white-skinned。 They began to recognize who their enemy was。 The same man that was colonizing our people in Kenya was colonizing our people in the Congo。 Th
16、e same one in the Congo was colonizing our people in South Africa， and in Southern Rhodesia， and in Burma， and in India， and in Afghanistan， and in Pakistan。 They realized all over the world where the dark man was being oppressed， he was being oppressed by the white man; where the dark man was being exploited， he was being exploited by the white man。 So they got together under this basis - that they had a common enemy。And when you and I here in Detroit
