Answer:
Malcolm X defends white oppression in "The Ballot or the Bullet".
For Malcolm X, this form of resistance is more effective than others because: "It’s the year when all of the white politicians will be back in the so-called Negro community jiving you and me for some votes. The year when all of the white political crooks will be right back in your and my community with their false promises, building up our hopes for a letdown, with their trickery and their treachery, with their false promises which they don’t intend to keep. As they nourish these dis satisfactions, it can only lead to one thing, an explosion; and now we have the type of black man on the scene in America today . . . who just doesn’t intend to turn the other cheek any longer. . . ."
Explanation:
Whether you’re educated or illiterate, whether you live on the boulevard or in the alley, you’re going to catch hell just like I am. We’re all in the same boat and we all are going to catch the same hell from the same man. He just happens to be a white man. All of us have suffered here, in this country, political oppression at the hands of the white man, economic exploitation at the hands of the white man, and social degradation at the hands of the white man.
Now in speaking like this, it doesn’t mean that we’re anti-white, but it does mean we’re anti-exploitation, we’re anti-degradation, we’re anti-oppression. And if the white man doesn’t want us to be anti-him, let him stop oppressing and exploiting and degrading us.
When you expand the civil-rights struggle to the level of human rights, you can then take the case of the black man in this country before the nations in the UN.
Human rights are the rights that are recognized by all nations of this earth. And any time anyone violates your human rights, you can take them to the world court.
I hope this helps you in any shape or form.
