Video de un discurso de Malcom X recuperado en el 2015. Video of Malcom X’s speech Democracy is Hypocrisy, recovered in 2015. Traducción al español / Translation into Spanish: ¿Qué especie de sistema sociopolítico es uno en el que el hombre negro no tiene voz en las cortes? ¿En el que no tiene nada ni a nadie a su lado fuera de lo que el hombre blanco le decide dar? Hermanos y hermanas, tenemos que ponerle fin a esto y esto nunca va dejar de suceder al menos que nosotros mismos lo frenemos. Atacan a la víctima y luego el criminal que atacó a la víctima acusa a la víctima de atacarlo a él. Esa es la justicia estadounidense. Esa es la democracia estadounidense y aquellos de ustedes que la conocen saben que la democracia estadounidense es hipocresía. Ahora bien, si estoy equivocado, métanme a la cárcel, pero si no pueden comprobar que la democracia estadounidense no es hipocresía entonces no me pongan las manos encima. La democracia es hipocresía. Si la democracia significa libertad, ¿por qué no es libre nuestra gente? Si la democracia significa igualdad, ¿por qué no tenemos igualdad? Veinte millones de personas negras en este país han vivido como niños en la casa del hombre blanco. Hasta nos dice joven, “boy”. No importa qué tanto crezcas, te llamará joven. Puedes ser un profesor, para él sólo eres otro joven, otro “boy”. Transcripción en inglés / Transcription What kind of social or political system is it when a black man has no voice in court? Has no nothing on his side other than what the white man chooses to give to you? My brothers and sisters we have to put a stop to this and it will never be stopped until we stop it ourselves. They attack the victim and then the criminal who attacked the victim acuses the victim of attacking him. This is American “justice”. This is American “democracy” and those of you who are familiar with it know that in America democracy is hypocrisy. Now if I’m wrong put me in jail, but if you can’t prove that in American democracy is not hypocrisy then don’t put your hands on me. Democracy is hypocrisy. If democracy means freedom why aren’t our people free? If democracy means justice why don’t we have justice? If democracy means equality then why don’t we have equality? Twenty million black people in this country have been like boys in the white man’s house. He even calls us boys. Don’t care how big you get he calls you boy. You can be a professor, to him you’re just another boy.
