Just say NO to conscription. Or, as Cassius Clay said, "I ain't got no quarrel with no Vietcong". "No Vietcong called me nigger". Or words about like that. He knew that the individual should decide whether to take up arms at the request of the Commander in Chief. The Commander in Chief then showed that nigger who was boss and what his emancipation from slavery was worth. It's not surprising that Cassius joined the Black Moslems. Blowback!! The USA talks freedom then crushes it. Hey, Google, as always, puts me straight. I didn't realize Cassius had a namesake, Cassius Marcellus Clay, who refused to fight as ordered while the southern states had slavery: 53.1911encyclopedia.org More from Google. On freedom and the draft: <Muhammad Ali: I ain't draft dodging. I ain't burning no flag. I ain't running to Canada. I'm staying right here. You want to send me to jail? Fine, you go right ahead. I've been in jail for 400 years. I could be there for 4 or 5 more, but I ain't going no 10,000 miles to help murder and kill other poor people. If I want to die, I'll die right here, right now, fightin' you, if I want to die. You my enemy, not no Chinese, no Vietcong, no Japanese. You my opposer when I want freedom. You my opposer when I want justice. You my opposer when I want equality. Want me to go somewhere and fight for you? You won't even stand up for me right here in America, for my rights and my religious beliefs. You won't even stand up for my right here at home. > stationfive.com and <Muhammad Ali: Ain't no Vietcong ever called me nigger. > Mqurice
