Well just thought this was interesting.....my dad and I were driving through atlanta where he used to live and he was showing me places he used to go and what not. He showed me where he signed up for vietnam at and said there were a bunch of black guys standing outside holding signs that said "The Viet Cong never called me no ******" the next street we went down he said him his mom and his sister were driving down the road and got in the middle of a HUGE protest and people swarmed the car and they were so scared that they made my aunt lay down on the floorboards until they got out. lol
That was only part of the original quote: "Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go 10,000 miles from home and drop bombs and bullets on Brown people in Vietnam while so-called Negro people in Louisville are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights? No I’m not going 10,000 miles from home to help murder and burn another poor nation simply to continue the domination of white slave masters of the darker people the world over. This is the day when such evils must come to an end. I have been warned that to take such a stand would cost me millions of dollars. But I have said it once and I will say it again. The real enemy of my people is here. I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality. If I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn’t have to draft me, I’d join tomorrow. I have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I’ll go to jail, so what? We’ve been in jail for 400 years. No Vietnamese ever called me ******," Mohammed Ali. Stay Brown, Rev J
