RIP Muhammad Ali

[turkeyfeathers]

May you "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee "

[philoshop]

He was 'The Greatest'.

[maytom]

Seen that in today's paper. 74 years old is still pretty young, dam Parkinsons!!!

[kpkot]

Good dude RIP. Got to wonder though is it the damn parkinsons or the traumatic brain injury from boxing. Wonder if they will research his brain like all the football players they have been.

Muhammad Ali -‘Jews Are Devils’

 

 

Muhammad Ali had far worse views than anything Tyson Fury has said. For example, Ali openly said that black men who have sex with white women should be killed, that the mixing of the races is an abomination and that homosexuality is a white man’s disease. Here is a direct quote:

“All Jews and gentiles are devils… Blacks are no devils… Everything black people doing wrong comes from (the white people): Drinking, smoking, prostitution, homosexuality, stealing, gambling: It all comes from (the white people)”

He was a great boxer.  The man himself had some issues.

Cassius Clay was an anti-white, racist bigot. Great Boxer, but a bigot.

He will always be one of the greatest if not the greatest in my eyes. Too bad some people cant even respect the fact that he died and have to post libel.

Pretty sure you don't understand the meaning of 'Libel'. Typical millennial ignorance. Hitler died too. Should we respect that?

Pretty sure I know the meaning and what defamation is, but that's not the topic of this thread. No point to discuss this here. As to the other comment, I'm not going to turn this thread into an argument because you want you want to spout non sense.

I'm quite convinced you don't .Clay's statements are public record, and can in no way be construed as libel. Read a book, get an education.

 

 

 

Defamation

Defamation—also calumny, vilification, and traducement—is the communication of a false statement that harms the reputation of an individual person, business, product, group, government, religion, or nation.

After looking it up, I still believe that my understanding is correct. Again this is not the topic of the thread, it would not be right to discuss this here.

Papist ---- Don't turn this into a Political / Racist thread !

Your 'understanding' is defective. You cannot defame or libel someone based on things they said publicly. That is the essence of the definition.

This thread is about a public racist. But I'll leave it there. Politics never came into it. Just a little injection of unpleasant truth. I understand we live in a truth adverse age however...

One of the best boxers of all time. He changed the face of the sport, I believe for the better.

His political position(s) don't change what he did for boxing.

[Marion]

He was a draft dodging piece of garbage. He was an incredible boxer I will give him that. I feel sympathy for his family he left behind however he was cowardly piece of garbage and for that I have no respect.

Yup...He was a helluva boxer....

 

I'll leave it at that... There is nothing else good I can say about him...

[grampy]

I'm a boxing fan. Inside the ring he was arguably "The Greatest". Outside the ring, I did not agree with most of his views. I can respect someone professionaly and at the same time think less of them personally.

He was willing to give up his career and face prosecution over his objections to the Vietnam war. He was one of the first people who got me to question the conventional wisdom about Vietnam. Rest in Peace.

[The_Field_Ager]

This is a worthwhile and balanced video on Ali and his changing attitudes to race and America. The communist backed Nation Of Islam played a large role in Ali's later changed attitudes. Very interesting.

According to Ali biographer,Jack Cashill, Ali refused to serve because he had been ordered not to by his Muslim handlers. He was terrified of them. They had murdered his freind Malcolm X after all.
