- Kalim Aftab said: “The first person to die fighting for the American flag was an African American, Crisp Attax, who was killed in the Boston massacre and fought against the British. So African Americans have been dying for America from the beginning. During the Vietnam War, the African American population in the United States was 11 percent and the number of "black" soldiers was 31 percent. The African Americans went straight to the front line, so they suffered impressive losses. Today, when President Trump accused African American soldiers of not being patriotic, it looks like complete nonsense. In any case, we were more patriotic: we fought for this country, despite the fact that we were lynched and now shot in the streets. "
