Malcolm X:

And we thought by following those ignorant Negro preachers that it was God-like to turn the other cheek to the group that was brutalizing us. A hundred years ago, they used to put on white sheets and sic bloodhounds on us. Well, nowadays, they've traded in the sheets - well, some of them have traded in the sheets - they've traded in the sheets - please, please - they've traded in those white sheets for police uniforms. They traded in the bloodhounds for police dogs
