Quote context

[...]

- I'm against the war in Vietnam. I've said on occasions in the press, I don't think black people should go to Vietnam and fight Asian, yellow people who've never lynched us, raped us, called us niggers, deprived us of freedom, justice, equality...

- For the same white man who's not freeing us right here in America.

- Really, my conscience won't allow me to go.

- Although I won't have to go. You offer me deals where I probably I don't have to fight or I could have it easier. I do like Joe Lewis did.

- But still, I know that you're using me to lead other people to the service, which is leading them to the slaughter. And my conscience will still bother me.

- Sir, I'd just rather go to jail.

- Sentences you to five years in prison and a $10000 fine.

- Come to order, please.

- Bail to be continued.

- We plan to appeal, Your Honor.

Attention, the true heavyweight champion is here!
I mean, just in the last few days, things have changed. The conditions have changed.
Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. You can't hit what you can't see.
You've made it to the top of the mountain, champ, but it's just as steep going down as it was coming up. And a hell of a lot faster. You've got to get used to another kind of life.
I told you all I was the greatest. Never told you I was the smartest.
