“So if we need white allies in this country, we don’t need those kind who compromise. We don’t need those kind who encourage us to be polite, responsible, you know. We don’t need those kind who give us that kind of advice. We don’t need those kind who tell us how to be patient. No, if we want some white allies, we need the kind that John Brown was, or we don’t need you.”

Does anyone have a source for this?
(via tranzient)
I apologize, I posted this early in the morning and should have attached my source with the original quote. This is an excerpt from a speech given by Malcolm X on June 5, 1964 at the second rally of the OAUU. The entire speech is available here on pg. 236.
