1、Malcolm给草根阶层的话英语演讲稿.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 tonight, all of the speakers have agreed, that America has a
2、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 look at yourself, be you black, brown, red, or yellow - a so
3、-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 unintelligent.What you and I need to do is learn to forget our difference
4、s. When we e together, we dont e 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 hell because youre a Democrat or a Republican. You dont catch hell b
5、ecause 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 reason.So we are all black people, so-called Negroes, second-class
6、 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 e here on the Mayflower. You came here on a slave ship - in chains, like a horse, or a cow, or a chicken. And you were brought here by the people who came here
7、 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 mon enemy. We have this in mon: We have a mon oppressor, a mon exploiter, and a mon discriminator. But once we all realize that we have this mon enemy, then we u
8、nite on the basis of what we have in mon. And what we have foremost in mon 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 will tell.In Bandung back in, I think, 1954, was the first unity meeting in centuries of black peopl
9、e. 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 solved. At Bandung all the nations came together. Their were dark nations from Africa and Asia. Some of
10、 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 munists; some were socialists; some were capitalists. Despite their economic and political differences
11、, 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 e. Once they excluded the white man, they found that they could get together. Once they kept him out, everybody else fell right
12、 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 heavy armaments that the white man has. But they had unity.They were able to submerge their little petty di
13、fferences 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, and another African came from Guinea and was being colonized by the French, and another came from Angol
14、a 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 learned or realized that the one thing that all of them had in mon: they were all from Europe, they wer
15、e 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. The same one in the Congo was colonizing our people in South Africa, and in Southern Rhodesia, and in Burma,
16、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 mon enemy.And when you and I here in Detroit and in Michigan and in America who have been awakened today look aro
