re: Why is Muhammad Ali so revered when he is a racist POS?

When there are black coaches that would love to be considered for the job and at least interviewed and they aren't, what exactly do you call it?

Would you call it fair?

So would it be more fair if EVERY coach that would like to be interviewed MUST be interviewed, regardless of their resume? I do not think a person's race should be considered, period. If a black coach is passed over because he is black, then of course it is racism at it's worst and I disagree completely. I am just saying I don't believe forcing the opposite is the right answer.

Just because some folk speak out about discrimination doesn't mean they always "use" it as a crutch.

Here is my entire statement: I'm saying that being mstreated or discriminated against is not something new, it is not isolated to one race, and should not be used as a crutch. By that I don't mean everyone uses it as a crutch.

Are you kidding me? You can't be serious. Seriously, it's CLEAR you are not miseducated about MLK, you aren't even educated about him and what he spoke for.

Do some research and come back to me in a couple of years.

I will definitely take your advice, although I may not get back to you on it. I don't want to assume I know everything. Apparently I need to do some more research on MLK and shouldn't have made that statement.
