This is the day when such evils must come to an end. I have been warned that to take such a stand would cost me millions of dollars. But I have said it once and I will say it again. The real enemy of my people is here. I will not disgrace my religion, my people or myself by becoming a tool to enslave those who are fighting for their own justice, freedom and equality. If I thought the war was going to bring freedom and equality to 22 million of my people they wouldn.t have to draft me, I.d join tomorrow. I have nothing to lose by standing up for my beliefs. So I.ll go to jail, so wh
at? We.ve been in jail for 400 years.

Joe Frazier is so ugly that when he cries, the tears turn around and go down the back of his head.
Frazier is so ugly that he should donate his face to the US Bureau of Wildlife.
It’s just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.
I’m not the greatest; I’m the double greatest. Not only do I knock ’em out, I pick the round
