Okay, in its full context, that changes everything and completely invalidates my reply.
I’ve only seen this quote or some variation of it on its own.

Yeah basically the term Liberal in this context is the conservative propaganda team that describes everyone they loathe. What it doesn’t describe is any specific agenda or worldview because they utterly lack political education and are highly suspicious of anyone that does.
There are of course white progressives with good politics who truly care for civil rights, in particular those of minorities when their rights are being threatened. This is not the kind of person Malcolm X is talking about. Unfortunately there’s no real political representation for that. The only effort put forward by the Democratic party is saying: “At least we’re not as bad as the Republicans, so shut up and vote for us or we’ll reconsider that position.” Those are the liberals he’s rightfully calling out in that quote.
