āI aināt draft dodging. I aināt burning no flag. I aināt running to Canada. Iām staying right here. You want to send me to jail? Fine, you go right ahead. Iāve been in jail for 400 years. I could be there for 4 or 5 more, but I aināt going no 10,000 miles to help murder and kill other poor people. If I want to die, Iāll die right here, right now, fightinā you, if I want to die. You my enemy, not no Chinese, no Vietcong, no Japanese. You my opposer when I want freedom. You my opposer when I want justice. You my opposer when I want equality. Want me to go somewhere and fight for you? You wonāt even stand up for me right here in America, for my rights and my religious beliefs. You wonāt even stand up for my right here at home". Ā - Muhammad Ali
