Malcolm X: The House Negro And The Field Negro Speech
http://iloveancestry.com Malcolm X, An American Hero (May 19, 1925 — February 21, 1965) Born Malcolm Little and also known as El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, Malcolm X is a legendary human rights activist.
“Back during slavery, when Black people like me talked to the slaves, they didn’t kill ’em, they sent some old house Negro along behind him to undo what he said. You have to read the history of slavery to understand this. There were two kinds of Negroes. There was that old house Negro and the field Negro.
And the house Negro always looked out for his master. When the field Negroes got too much out of line, he held them back in check. He put ’em back on the plantation. The house Negro could afford to do that because he lived better than the field Negro. He ate better, he dressed better, and he lived in a better house. He lived right up next to his master – in the attic or the basement. He ate the same food his master ate and wore his same clothes. And he could talk just like his master – good diction. And he loved his master more than his master loved himself. That’s why he didn’t want his master hurt. If the master got sick, he’d say, “What’s the matter, boss, we sick?” When the master’s house caught afire, he’d try and put the fire out. He didn’t want his master’s house burned. He never wanted his master’s property threatened. And he was more defensive of it than the master was.
That was the house Negro. But then you had some field Negroes, who lived in huts, had nothing to lose. They wore the worst kind of clothes. They ate the worst food. And they caught hell. They felt the sting of the lash. They hated their master. Oh yes, they did. If the master got sick, they’d pray that the master died. If the master’s house caught afire, they’d pray for a strong wind to come along. This was the difference between the two.
And today you still have house Negroes and field Negroes. I’m a field Negro.” ~Malcolm X
To his admirers, he was a courageous advocate for the rights of Black Americans, a man who indicted White America in the harshest terms for its crimes against Black Americans. Detractors accused him of preaching racism, black supremacy, and violence. He has been called one of the greatest and most influential Black Americans in history. Malcolm X’s father died—killed by white supremacists.
