As Negro Christians we idolized our Christian Slave master, and lived for the day when his plurality of white gods would allow us to mingle and mix up with them. We worshipped the false beauty of the Slave masters leprous looking women... We regarded them with the utmost respect, courtesy and kindness, bowing, and tipping our hats, showing our teeth. We perfected the art of humility and politeness for their sake... but at the same time we treated our own women if they were mere animals, with no love, respect or protection. Fear ruled us, but not fear of God. We had fear of the Slave master, we had no knowledge of truth and we were apparently afraid to let him see us practicing love and unity toward each other.... Is it a wonder that the world laughed at us and held us [up] to scorn? We practiced love for others, while hating ourselves... unity with others and disunity with our own kind. We called ourselves Negro Christians, yet we remained an ignorant, foolish people, despised and rejected by the white Christians. We were fools! - Malcolm X -
