"Be peaceful, be courteous, obey the law, respect everyone; but if someone puts his hand on you, send him to the cemetery."
-Malcolm X
The meaning of this quote is pretty much stating that all African Americans should obey the laws and be respectful, until there is an act of violence occurring toward them by a white man. He was very much involved in the process of violence towards whites, but only in the means of it happening to an African American first. He was sick and tired of this racism and violence that was happening only for amusement, so much that he was promoting violence toward the whites. Even know the whites have had a bad reputation of racism, he didn't want it to be too chaotic so that African Americans were only attacking whites because of anger, but only in the act of protection.
