Appearing for his scheduled induction into the U.S. Armed Forces on April 28, 1967 in Houston, Ali refused three times to step forward at the call of his name. An officer warned him he was committing a felony punishable by five years in prison and a fine of $10,000. Once more, Ali refused to budge when his name was called.

"War is against the teachings of the Holy Qu'ran I'm not trying to dodge the draft.

"No Viet Cong ever called me a ni**er."


“No, I am not going 10,000 miles to help murder, kill, and burn other people to simply help continue the domination of white slavemasters over dark people the world over. This is the day and age when such evil injustice must come to an end.”


“Why should they ask me to put on a uniform and go ten thousand 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?


Recalling Ali's anti-war position, Kareem Abdul Jabbar said: "I remember the teachers at my high school didn't like Ali because he was so anti-establishment and he kind of thumbed his nose at authority and got away with it. The fact that he was proud to be a Black man and that he had so much talent . . . made some people think that he was dangerous. But for those very reasons I enjoyed him."

 

Maybe thats why the thread got deleted, . He just wasn't recognised as a champ in america. He was still the champion of the world

 

Yes, by not killing innocent vietnamese??

So Martin Luther King was a hero, but not Ali?

Please explain

 

So you would blindly fight for your country??

People with attitude like yours, gives power to regimes like Nazi Germany
