Muhammad Ali refused to be a part of the United States (US) government’s (USG) criminal war against Vietnam. He said, among other things, that his real enemy, meaning white supremacy, was right here at home. Click on the following link to watch that video: https://youtu.be/8M7_T6VuTGw
32 years before Ali’s refusal, Major General Smedley Butler said the same thing in his book, War is a Racket, where he denounces wars as a way to generate huge profits for US capitalists.
In 1898, the USG militarily invaded Puerto Rico for exactly that reason. The proof of that is the USG’s refusal to comply, for the past 76 years, with the United Nations’ Charter of 1945 that prohibits colonialism. Puerto Rico has been a US colony for the past 123 years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otzBslJLbI0
The proof that the US does not stand for democracy is her refusal to also comply with 40 UN resolutions asking her to immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans.
Muhammad understood well what Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. meant by, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
Man’s laws must be aligned with morality. When they are not, our resistance to injustice is our moral imperative! https://todosunidosdescolonizarpr.blogspot.com/
Be a champion for justice too!
