"I did not mean to argue that women should support a particular candidate based solely on gender," she wrote in a New York Times op-ed. She recently spoke at a Hillary Clinton campaign event."
Hopefully, my daughter won't grow up to be like you and will recognize that there are a lot of less fortunate people out there who are not "freeloaders" and just need a chance. Hopefully, my daughter won't bury her head in the sand and pretend that everyone gets an equal chance and hopefully she will repsect EVERYONE'S rights not just the rights of rich, white people.
That's not fair. You know, because African-Americans were and still are a minority race in the United States. Thus, 10-15% casualties seems low from an overall perspective but in comparison to the ethnic groups total of makeup of the US population, it was a very large percentage.
Regardless of how one feels about the rhetoric of the Nation of Islam, which is absolutely racist and you won't find me in disagreement here, Ali gave up his prime and millions of dollars to possibly go to prison for something he believed in. Ethically, that makes him a hero.
Let's switch directions a bit: Rubio sinks or swims tonight? I lean towards swim because Christie won't be there to go after him.
How can this be that confusing. If the AA population was 10-11% during that time then they were categorized as a minority population. 10-15% of the total number of deaths in Vietnam were black, which is a much higher percentage of their total population in comparison to whites. Therefore, Ali was standing up for the injustice that was many black soldiers coming home in body bags in comparison to their ethnicity's ratio to the total US population.
Let's see... Bernie Sanders... white male. Hillary Clinton.... might as well be.
You are a sad sad little man.... and YOU are a freeloader. My taxes support YOU.
I know that Elijah Muhammad, who was Ali's mentor and head of the Nation of Islam, spent time in prison for opting out of the draft during WW II. Apparently, he and Ali liked the country well enough to enjoy the opportunities, but felt like it wasn't their fight.
Everyone should really type in the Nation of Islam and get educated. I am old enough to remember the black supremacist, anti-Semitic group first hand.
Edit: I think that he probably joined the Nation of Islam for the same reason that Farrakhan did. He is a racist. Go to youtube and watch some of his old interviews.
Black empowerment is not racism. Groups like the NOI were a reaction to white racism.
If white people weren't so racist to begin with, you wouldn't have reactionary groups like the NOI or Black Panthers.
So black separatism is not a form of racism?
Because that's pretty much a bedrock principle of the NOI.
If you were treated as a second class citizen by a nation and discriminated at every turn, would you not want to separate and ghave a country of your own?
Your argument for supporting black racism is, "but white people were racist first!"?
Are you 3?
I don't think the NOI is racist. You implied that from my answer.
The NOI was a great organization for black folks cause they stressed black empowerment at a time when black folks were regarded as second class citizens.
