    49 years later, this man (#TheGreatest) is beloved and a pioneer for #CivilRights. Essentially saying the same thing Colin Kaepernick is saying. I was too young to know what effect Ali had on the nation of his views, but I know he sacrificed dearly for his beliefs. People forget that Kaepernick will probably never play for the NFL as Aliʻs boxing career basically ended and was actually supposed to go to jail, if not for an appeal and overturning of the verdict.
    Ali was labelled a traitor, unpatriotic, and disrespectful. Today he is a hero! #NoVietkongEverCalledMeNigger
    Small parallel to Colin not standing.

These people join the military just to pay back there student loan, but should be processed in la Hague for knowingly participating in crimes against humanity by destroying sovereign nations.

    Although I take nothing away AT ALL from guys that followed the law and went to "war" (because I mean a guy OUGHT to be able to trust his government that they are legitimate in "war" efforts) ...I never the less count ALSO as heros every man that chose prison instead of cooperation with the draft ....the guys that fled to canada? Not so much heros...they did not sacrifice anything if you ask me....But man to go in eyes wide open and say "go ahead put me in prison cause THIS is BULLSHIT" ? These guys qualify as heros ...that is ready to personally pay for standing up for a clear conscience. I was too young to get drafted buy a few years and too ignorant to know any better anyway...but I like to HOPE that somehow I would have grown a brain if I had been old enough and would have insisted on prison rather than the draft ....knowing me though? I would just have wanted to go shoot people and blow shit up... I wish I could honestly claim otherwise but I can't...I was ignorant and happy to be so. Maybe I can blame my folks on that ...when I played army all the time growing up neither of em every sat me down and pointed out problems with glorifying war ...they thought it was cute and supplied me well with plastic guns and knives and grenades.... Not that I am a pacifists these days, just that taking up arms against other people is some SERIOUS SHIT not to be taken lightly or at the whim of limited movers and shakers ...a draft? OK ...OK for "our survival DEPENDS on it"...For a bonafide DECLARED WAR....but NEVER EVER NEVER some shit like Viet fricken Nam...

    HE TRUE CHARACTER OF CASSIUS CLAY aka
    MUHAMMAD ALI
    To understand it better, I turn to Jack Cashill, author of the book,
    Sucker Punch: The Hard Left Hook That Dazed Ali and Killed King's
    Dream.
    Here is an excerpt, reviewing Ali's negative accomplishments during his
    first crucial years in the public eye, 1960-75:
    • Ali knowingly betrayed Malcolm X, a betrayal that led at
    least indirectly to Malcolm's assassination.
    • Ali publicly turned his back on his press secretary, Leon 4X
    Ameer, which led to Ameer's death.
    • When Nation of Islam activists executed five friends and
    family of the Hanafi sect-four of them children-Ali
    did not quit the Nation or even publicly protest. Nor did the media ask
    him to.
    • For at least four years running Ali publicly degraded Joe
    Frazier, often along the crudest racial lines.
    "There's a great honor about Joe," says baseball great Reggie Jackson.
    "That was evident in the way he fought. And Muhammad ridiculed Joe; he
    humiliated him in front of the world."
    • Ali also verbally and physically abused Floyd Patterson and
    Ernie Terrell, two men who did not deserve it.
    • Ali was an unapologetic sexist.
    "In the Islamic world," he told Playboy, "the man's the boss, and the
    woman stays in the background. She don't want to call the shots."
    He wrote this in 1975, three years into the doomed struggle to pass the
    Equal Rights Amendment. Feminists still wrestle over this one.
    • While the black family was under assault, with its rate of
    unwed births nearly tripling during these fifteen
    years, Ali was fathering children out of wedlock with at least one
    teenage girl.
    • He also was about to leave four of his children without a
    father in the home after rejecting their Muslim mother
    for a more glamorous, only marginally black eighteen year-old.
    • Belinda Ali was the second wife he had publicly humiliated.
    Sonji was the first.
    • Ali remained an unabashed racist, calling for an American
    apartheid and the lynching of interracial couples as
    late as 1975.
    • In the years that mattered, Ali drove a wedge between the
    races. This may not have been evident to the cultural
    elite, but anyone who had been at Gary or like venues would know exactly
    what I mean.
    • He routinely denigrated black heroes who did not share his
    point of view, Joe Louis, Jackie Robinson, and Thurgood Marshall among
    them.
    • He continuously belittled and undermined Christianity, a
    bedrock of cultural stability in black America.
    • Ali shamelessly courted some of the most brutal dictators on
    the planet: Qaddafi, Idi Amin, Papa Doc Duvalier,
    Nkrumah, Mobutu, Marcos.
    • One of those dictators, Mobutu Sese Seko Nkuku Wa Za Banga,
    was complicit in the death of the black nationalist hero, Patrice
    Lumumba.
    • Ali helped launch the career of Don King.
    Left-wing media is extolling the magnificence of another street thug,
    black racist, Cassius Clay, of Louisville, Kentucky. My word, the
    godliness, they write of this racist, anti-American boxer who
    advertised himself as the greatest.
    Words, totally without substance, unless one is a black, leftist,
    anti-white, anti-American loony headed, mouthy racist with a clever
    trick with words.
    Truth is no longer a feature of America’s lefty news establishment.
    That the thug softened after falling to the dreadful Parkinson’s disease
    is true, but most of his ugly mouth and behavior had already been
    established.

The problem when people around the world already knows about this type of behaviour...keep misinformed and misguided the masses for tour own political power. Thats why your people elected Trump's as POTUS after they've misleaded by the media. Make America great and white again, but in reality your action just to keep the power of elites/master of manipulation once again. Thats why we still fucked up nowadays. Remember whats your goverment have told the world about freedom and democracy? For an example the country like Indonesia who kiced out the Muslim scholar to embraced your democracy. Yet, your government and the other establishment still labeled Indonesia as backwards country and terrorist country. The same thing happen after US attacked the Iraq and Libya for liberation, and now you've banned all of them from entering yohr country. So why don't you just stfu and do your thing without interrupt the internal affair and politics to the​ other countries. ☝
