Muhammad Ali called for black personal accountability and moral reform in America
βLet's quit worrying white people, plaguing white people's neighborhood, forcing ourselves on white people, and we don't clean up and do for ourselves. The slum is not in the neighborhood. The slum is not in the ghetto. The slum is in the people. The people make the slum.
And the condition our people are in now, if you gave them a $93 million project, they'll make a slum out of it in 24 hoursβ
βThen you can take a nation of people who are intelligent and they can make a slum a paradiseβ
This is a real quote from Muhammad Ali is authentic and comes from a 1967 interview
He also urged black people to stop relying on external aid and take accountability for sustaining their own lives
This too me is the most important thing Ali preached
Ali argued that true improvement starts with internal transformation such as mindset, behavior, family structure, education, and community standards rather than just pouring money into housing projects or blaming external conditions
This is just as true today as it was back then. Nothings changed
This is Theo. He's a mighty Rottweiler getting a routine nail trim. Groomer barely clips one nail and he unleashes the most soul-shattering howls you've ever heard. "It was one nail! I barely touched it!" she laughs. Oscar-worthy drama.
The recent attacks in Australia and Brown University confirm, beyond any doubt, what many of us have known and taught for decades: YOU are your own first responder. YOU are responsible for your safety and the safety of your family. No one is coming to save you. If you are not equipped, capable, trained and willing to do what is necessary to protect yourself and your loved ones in a crisis, you are willfully surrending your fate to those who would do you harm.
