https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/261a98e8-c727-4bc4-a140-f40b6c35670d On April 28, 1967, Muhammad Ali refused induction into the U.S. Army at the height of the Vietnam War, declaring he had “no quarrel with the Vietcong.” His stance was clear: he would not fight abroad for a country that denied Black people in the United States dignity at home. “No Viet Cong ever called me N*gger,” he famously said, exposing the contradiction at the heart of U.S. policy of falsely claiming to bring freedom to Vietnam while denying basic freedoms to Africans in the United States. The price was heavy. Ali was stripped of his titles, banned from boxing, and initially sentenced to five years in prison in a conviction that was later overturned by the Supreme Court. But his refusal turned him into a global symbol of anti-war resistance, linking the struggle against imperialism abroad with the fight against white supremacy at home.
