That was it. No reason to use the race card there.
Hop & PBF both have harsh sense of humors. Nothing like James Toney or Ali- they were humorous with their insults. Hop & PBF are just, well, insulting.
Ali called Frazier a monkey.
That's harsh and self-hating.
He also called white people crackers.
Don't feign ignorance...you know it's true.
Ali was disrespectful to anyone who got in the ring with him, but he seemed to be worse with black fighters. Maybe he feared them more and tried harder to get under their skin. Maybe it just seemed that way because all the top fighters (nearly all) were black.
I could never understand it, it seemed as though he hated black men. Don't even try to tell me about selling fights, it went beyond that.
I just don't see how Floyd is labelled a racist by the same guys riding Ali's dick.
Mayweather has yet to call another Black fighter a monkey...or make speeches in front of the KKK.

Do you honestly think Ali was funny when he called Frazier a gorilla, it sure wasn't humorous to Frazier. This is what I typed-
A poster posted this;
Ali called Frazier a monkey.
That's harsh and self-hating.
I responded this way: Yes it was harsh,
SO why do you ask if I thought those words were funny, when I replied to what I thought about it?
There was no purpose for it either, all three of their fights sold themselves. It was just Ali being the disrespectful, mean spirited prick that he was.
That is your opinion, yet whenever a person types up Ali (funny)on youtube for example: here is what comes up:
About 6,880,000 results
Showing results for muhammad ali funny youtube
So I have to repeat myself again to posters who choose to read what they want; I clearly spoke on his personality and his demeanor- not individual comments. So then denounce the thousands of others who laughed when he told jokes- mean spirited ones and fun spirited ones. Not me.
Denounce those who combined About 5,210,000 results on a general AOL search alone who considered his quotes and behaviour as fun spirited. Serious type it up- & go argue them. You point out the obvious statements that I too said were harsh, then question me on it? What for?

Shit....if Floyd is a racist then so is Ali.
By today's standards it appears only black men are labeled such a word. By means of words and not their actions. So much for the Rush Limbaughs, Sean Hannitys of the country saying racism doesnt exist. Apparently it exists only with black men by way of words and not actions.

dont see either of those comments racist
the word racist is used far too readily
(Yes it is, usually these days reserved for black men exclusively in America by way of words & not actions- but I admit I am not sure if Asian, Hispanics, Native Americans feel that way)
hitler was racist, he attempted to racially cleanse europe, and almost succeeded in Poland, murdering millions of people, and putting many more through hell, on grounds of their race
can the same word really be used for ali calling a white person a cracker?
Why tell me that and not the guys calling Floyd and Hopkins racist????
Here is what you typed: Shit....if Floyd is a racist then so is Ali
Maybe that is why- at least for those of us who dont partially read posts-

I was just joining in the stop being stoopid about racism conversation
I wasn't directing my post at anyone in particular, I was just tagging on at the end
