At the beginning of the speech, Malcolm X used humor and said “… and I see some enemies”. The audiences laughed which grabbed the attention of the audiences. He directly pointed out his purpose of the speech which was to talk about the ballot or the bullet in his introduction. He also used something like a slogan to encourage people.

The speaker used some examples from other countries as well. Africans and Asians were getting their independence through nationalism or the philosophy of nationalism. According to the lecturer, Black Nationalism would free about twenty-two million African-Americans because of the same reason. The whole speech was full of logic.

He used it so that he could encourage people to “stand” up and fight with their enemies.
