Is there an "official" translation of Malcom X's You can't hate the roots of a tree and not hate the tree"?
Such sayings have their culture background and only Malcom X himself could tell whether a translation is right or not.

"背祖忘宗" or "數典忘祖" may carry a similar meaning but does not have the same context.  Not to say creative translations like "惱根怎可不惱樹, 厭鄉也該厭自己".
