"Sé pacífico sé cortés obedece la ley respeta a todos pero si alguien te pone la mano mándalo al cementerio"
— Malcolm X
Simplified Meaning:
The quote is advising people to be calm, polite, follow the rules, and treat others with respect. It emphasizes the importance of being good to others and living peacefully. However, it also says that if someone physically attacks you, you have the right to defend yourself strongly. Imagine you are at a school and you always say "please" and "thank you," follow the school rules, and are nice to your classmates. But one day, someone starts hitting you. The quote suggests that while you should be kind and respectful, if someone harms you or acts violently towards you, you should protect yourself and not let them hurt you. This idea teaches that you should generally strive for peace and respect, but you must also stand up for yourself when faced with physical danger.
