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.

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.
