Muhammad Ali on the Vietnam War-Draft

"My conscious won't let me go shoot my brother, or some darker people, or some poor hungry people in the mud for big powerful America. And shoot them for what? They never called me nigger, they never lynched me, they didn't put no dogs on me, they didn't rob me of my nationality, rape and kill my mother and father... Shoot them for what? ...How can I shoot them poor people, Just take me to jail."

I was born in the 70s. I have my own opinions on the Vietnam War.

As strange as this sounds, his words actually spoke more of him than his fists.

After 30+ years, I hope all the naysayers realize, he didn't become a Muslim to dodge the war, but he was an actual convert.

I am not a Muslim, in fact, I believe in Science. But all of us are or should be entitled to march to the beat of or our own drummer.

I respect all who follow their own convictions.

if I’m gonna die and ill die here now fighting you, if I’m gonna die. You my enemy, my enemy is the white people, not the Vietcong or Chinese or Japanese, you’re my opposer when I want freedom, you’re my opposer when I want justice, you’re my opposer when I want equality, you wont even stand up for me in America for my religious beliefs and you want me to go somewhere and fight, but you wont stand up for me here at home”

"The American People did not purchase at the vast expense of their blood and treasure a Magna Carta to be slaves of their own government.... When a person taken away from his family into service, and should he die in that service, it is murder by the hands of the politicians..." - Daniel Webster, 1814
