I perceived as I read, how the collective white man had been actually nothing but a piratical opportunist who used Faustian machinations (sold his soul to the devil to gain power) to make his own Christianly his wedge in criminal conquests.

The stage thus set, he then turned upon his non-white victims his weapons of war.
--Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X
