MALCOLM X: THE HOUSE NEGRO AND THE FIELD NEGRO

"Back during slavery, when Black people like me talked to the slaves, they didn't kill 'em, they sent some old house Negro along behind him to undo what he said. You have to read the history of slavery to understand this. There were two kinds of Negroes. There was that old house Negro and the field Negro.
And the house Negro always looked out for his master. When the field Negroes got too much out of line, he held them back in check. He put 'em back on the plantation. The house Negro could afford to do that because he lived better than the field Negro. He ate better, he dressed better, and he lived in a better house. He lived right up next to his master - in the attic or the basement. He ate the same food his master ate and wore his same clothes. And he could talk just like his master - good diction. And he loved his master more than his master loved himself. That's why he didn't want his master hurt. If the master got sick, he'd say, "What's the matter, boss, we sick?" When the master's house caught afire, he'd try and put the fire out. He didn't want his master's house burned. He never wanted his master's property threatened. And he was more defensive of it than the master was.
That was the house Negro. But then you had some field Negroes, who lived in huts, had nothing to lose. They wore the worst kind of clothes. They ate the worst food. And they caught hell. They felt the sting of the lash. They hated their master. Oh yes, they did. If the master got sick, they'd pray that the master died. If the master's house caught afire, they'd pray for a strong wind to come along. This was the difference between the two.
And today you still have house Negroes and field Negroes. I'm a field Negro."

White supremacists/racists hijacked the term "white power," turning it into a term with negative connotations (oppressing non-whites). Given that whites have always maintained higher social status (at times by abusive means) relative to blacks, "white power" indicates white supremacy. Because blacks have never maintained high social status, "black power" indicates an anti-oppression sentiment, rather than the notion of black supremacy.

@oneirosis You're right there is no such thing as a pure bred black any more because a very large percentage of African Americans do have white or Native Americans in their bloodlines.In the case of Native Americans this mixing was due to a mutual relationship, but in the case of whites many times black women were sexually victimized by the white slave owners this black rainbow of skin hues is rooted in a inhuman era of African American history.
