"I believe Ali’s actual words were" |

Message Replied To ========== Professor Buzzkill killed my buzz http://professorbuzzkill.com/qnq-33/ It is doubtful that Muhammad Ali said "ain't no Viet Cong called me #badword#" and improbable that he coined it. But he did say something very similar. "My conscience won’t let me go shoot my brother, or some darker people, or some poor hungry people in the mud for big powerful America. And shoot them for what? They never called me #badword#, they never lynched me, they didn’t put no dogs on me, they didn’t rob me of my nationality, rape and kill my mother and father. … Shoot them for what? How can I shoot them poor people? Just take me to jail."============================== ”Ain’t no Viet Cong ever called me a bammer.” How much better the present would be if history had captured his point more accurately. |
