Coed: Mr. X, Hi, I've read some of your speeches and I honestly believe that a lot of what you say is true. And I'm a good person in spite of what my ancestors did.

Malcolm X: "Father" only means that you're taking care of your children. That's what it is to be a father. "Father" doesn't mean that you're having some babies. Anybody can have a baby. Having a baby does not make you a father. Anybody can go out and get a woman. But not anybody can take care of that woman. There's another word for it. lt's called responsibility.
