granberry also used to try and make posts suggesting black people had a great time down south in the 50's and 60's and should have been grateful and humble.
Now this prick is going down the same track.
Boxers Who Joined the U.S. Military With Pride.
Re: Boxers Who Joined the U.S. Military With Pride.
It was a different era. While certain norms are universal it strikes me as silly to put ourselves in the mind of a young black man in 1965 who is just seeing the dark side of the American dream.
I have a friend, an African American, who signed up for the military at seventeen and has a Bronze Star from Viet Nam and Korea. If he can respect Ali's position back then anybody can. He was from Birmingham Alabama and I asked him how he could voluntarily serve a country that treated him as a third class citizen. He said he loved the America that it thought it would become if it lived up to its ideals and not what it was.
