TRANSLATION FROM FRENCH Se Be rie Special issue of the magazine "Revolution," published in Paris, France, July, August, 1964. Colonial War in the U. 8. A. Exclusive Interview with Malcolm X. R (Revolution"): Frequently you have been accused of being a racist as Hitler or the Ku Klux Klan, of being anti-Semitic, and of preaching violence, What do you think about that? Malcolm X: No, we are not racists at all. Our solidarity is founded upon the fact that we are all black, brown, or yellow. One cannot call that racism. You have only to think of the European Common Market. It is composed of Europeans, of people with a white skin, and, in spite of that, one does not regard it as a racist association. It is an economic group which has nothing to do with Hitler or with the KKK. In fact, the KKK in the United States aims at the perpetuation of the injustice of which the Negroes were the victims, while the "Moslems" want to eliminate this same injustice. We are against exploitation, in this country or in the land where we live. The Jews have been the tradesmen and the business people of the "black community” for such a long time that it is normal that they feel guilty when one says that the exploiters of the blacks are the Jews. This does not say that we are anti-Semitic. We are simply against exploitation, With respect of violence, we have never employed it. We have never been engaged in it against anyone, but we believe that if violence is used against us, we must defend us. We do not believe that one must offer the other cheek, ye oa All GFORMATON CONTAINED AP on ebony BR one
