“What he’s doing right now is not heroic,” Khalilah suggested. “I would love to meet with him or talk to him on the phone to help share his message in a better way,” she added.
Khalilah also claims that she was her ex-husband’s adviser during the time he had refused to enlist in the U.S. Army and fight in the Vietnam war, which got his boxing license revoked from March 1967 to October 1970.
“I helped Muhammad decide whether he was going to the army or going to jail,” she says. “He listened to my every word. You see the impact that had on our nation? Colin could absolutely have the same impact if he made the right decisions to really make a difference.”
Camacho Ali even has a plan if given the opportunity to meet up Kaepernick, and detailed what she would say to him.
“The first thing I would do is ask him about his stance on humanity ... what exactly is he trying to improve and how is he going to make that happen? Next, I’d have him make a retraction for his actions against the American flag. He needs to apologize. I will help him meet the groups that will fight with him, donate to charities of all people— not just minorities— because we cannot single anyone out. If he wants isolation to end, he needs to prove that he cares about all people, and not just his people. If he is willing to get off his high horse and humble himself, we could do a lot of good together.”
