They sacrificed their medals and treasure knowingly for what they believed. They weren’t victims nor martyrs.RaceBannon said:Tommie Smith and John Carlos had something to protest in 1968. There was talk of a Black boycott of the American team for the 1968 Games.
Smith and Carlos also paid a stiff and immediate price for the protest. Some media like Sports Illustrated were sympathetic as was I as a 12 year old. The two stars got sent home and lost their medals. Got banned for awhile. Took some REAL hate from the democrat Jim Crow types down south
Only as time went by did they get credit for what they did and the price they paid
Today you have these losers who cry like bitches if anyone says anything mean about their "protest". And probably couldn't tell you what they are protesting -

Dick Gregory was a groundbreaking comedian who spoke truth to power. He used humor as a way of calling attention to politics and social issues. Andre Gaines' terrific documentary, "The One and Only Dick Gregory," debuting on Showtime on July 4, shows Gregory's activism was more important to him than his comedy and wealth. In 1962, he went to Mississippi to help Medgar Evers with voting rights. "He could have sent a check," someone in the documentary acknowledges, but Gregory put in the time and money to assist others — even at the expense of raising his family.
"The One and Only Dick Gregory," traces the comedian's brilliant career from his groundbreaking set in 1961 at the Playboy club in Chicago — performing for a white, Southern audience, no less — and his appearance on "The Jack Parr Program," which generated a big salary bump. He gained considerable fame and success but stopped performing to work for social justice in the civil rights movement. He was frequently jailed and spoke out against police brutality, the Vietnam war, and was under surveillance by the FBI.
Watched this yesterday. Gregory spent a bit of time in the Thurston County Jail where my dad visited him
Dick was making 500 grand a year in the 60's when he gave it up for activism -
And the FBI that the left worships today was right there spying on him
