With regards to vietnam, is that supposed to be a critique of the man? I would call it honorable if not a moral obligation to avoid that dumpster fire.


But this goes against the herd mentality and rallying cry of patriotism. Ali said he wasn't going to fight poor people he had no problem with in the name of protecting "freedoms" his own country was working so hard to deny him. Ali was bold in his rhetoric, and at least on refusing to fight in Vietnam, he was 100% correct.

Who was at his side recording everything he said in his early career, Howard Cosell, who was a white man.

Quit being so butt-hurt. Quit looking for the negative in people. THAT is what is wrong with the faux outrage of 'rasism'. JMHO

He made millions off of the white man. Based on your observations he should have fell in love with them when the money started to roll in and they treated him like royalty.



Shitting Bull, please put down the fire water. Ali EARN millions by excelling at boxing it was not given to him from the white man.
