    Muhamed Ali refused a call into the US military to fight in the Vietnam War in April 1967. In March 1967, one month before his call up, Ali explained why he did not want to fight in Vietnam. He said that he should not have to travel ten thousand kilometers from home to bomb or shoot "brown people" in Vietnam when black people in his hometown of Louisville were treated like dogs and denied basic human rights. Ali said he would not help kill and burn another poor people just to continue white supremacy over black people worldwide. He was warned that taking this stance could cost him his fame and millions of dollars in potential earnings as champion, but he maintained that the real enemy of his people was at home,

    28. aprila 1967.

    Godine, bokserski šampion Muhamed Ali odbio je poziv


    Američke vojske da ide u rat u Vijetnam.

    U martu 1967. Godine, jedan mjesec prije poziva u vojsku, Ali je objasnio
    zašto se ne želi ići boriti u Vijetnamu:

    “Zašto traže od mene da obučem uniformu i da idem deset hiljada kilometara


    daleko od kuće i bacam bombe ili pucam na smeđe ljude u Vijetnamu kada su,
    takozvani Crni ljudi u Luisvilu tretirani kao psi i kojima su uskraćena osnovna
    ljudska prava?

    Ne, ja ne idem deset hiljada kilometara daleko od kuće da pomažem ubijati i


    paliti drugi siromašni narod samo da se nastavi dominacija bijelih robovlasnika
    nad ljudima tamne kože širom svijeta. Ovo je dan kada takvo zlo mora prestati.
    Upozoren sam da ću ovakvim svojim stavom ugroziti svoju slavu i da mogu
    izgubiti milione dolara koje mogu zaraditi kao šampion.

    Ali rekao sam jednom i reći ću ponovo. Pravi neprijatelj mog naroda je upravo
    ovdje. Neću sramotiti svoju vjeru, svoj narod ili sebe postajući alat za
    porobljavanje onih koji se bore za svoju pravdu, slobodu i jednakost…

    Ako vidim da se rat vodi da donese slobodu i jednakost za 22 miliona mojih


    sunarodnjaka, ne moraju me pozivati, pridružiću se sutra. Ali ja trebam ili da
    poštujem zakone države ili zakone Allaha. Nemam ništa da izgubim ako se
    budem držao svojih uvjerenja. Zato ću ići u zatvor. Bićemo u zatvoru narednih
    400 godina.”
