When our black and hispanic soldiers realize that the way they are
treated in our own prisons at home (especially in Texas) corresponds very well to the treatment meted out to Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib and the many known and unknown prisons Rumsfeld operates, there is going to be hell to pay.I dread that day.It will take a man like Malcolm X to awaken the black soldiers solidarity with these people.

1. Well said.
In terms of prisons, it is true in most, if not all, states.

It would be interesting to see if any current athlete would walk the walk that Muhammad Ali took in the 1960s.
