Don’t know where you are getting your information on what I allegedly “hate”, but they suck as a source.
You couldn’t find any posts here, or on the old board, where I have stated that “we”, as in me, expressed a “love” of “boycotts” or even any moderate like for them.
I have always thought they were silly exercises in futility.
Don’t think one can find a direct quote of him calling all police officers “pigs”.
However he has a pair of socks with stylized pig images dressed as police officers, that he has worn, according to him, as a protest of “rogue police officers” engaging in “police brutality”; wearing them, as he stated, before he ever sat out the Anthem in protest of blacks being targeted or treated unfairly by some police officers.
You must have somehow missed the Right Wing pissing and moaning over that silly pair of socks, but I don’t see how?
But no, there is no direct quote of Colin calling all police officers “pigs”.
It was funny to watch Right Wingers go bonkers over a pair of socks.
Let’s play find the evidence to support our views…
Conservatives should remember that although Ali expressed radical thoughts and aligned himself with the militancy of the Nation of Islam, his general point that America had its own civil rights problems was correct. When he said “so-called Negro people in Louisville,” who were being made to serve, “are treated like dogs and denied simple human rights,” he had a list of specific and very real grievances to point to. Blacks were still being denied voting rights in large numbers. James Meredith, who had integrated the University of Mississippi, was shot while walking across the state. Highway Patrol officers in Orangeburg, South Carolina shot into a crowd of black protesters and killed 3 people in 1968. It’s easy for Americans today to forget that, back then, working for civil rights was a dangerous mission.
Hmm…sounds like the same issues Ali was against is the same as Kapperknicks issues…hmm🤔
Wow…you think in 50+ years conservative views of Black Americans may have become more understanding…
Perhaps I should have said WHITE instead of GOP…
