has racism stopped??????
1960 der was a boy called cassius clay who worked so hard and earned a gold medal from boxing for his country........USA
Later on ali went into a restaurant and got kicked out jus because of his colour, ali say to the manager ''ali said listen i won a gold medal in he olympics for this country'' the manager replied ur still a n****** at the end of the day. this was 46 years ago...have things changed....no
jus few months back amir khan went to liver pool to see his younger brother fight, all the audience was gettin autograph of amir khan and being very nice.
when amir khan brother won on points against the white boy, suddenly the the crowd started shouting black c**** and pak*
and all kinds of racist comments, they threw bolttle at amir khan and went for him as the security escorted amir khan out.
the worst thing is these ppl were nice to him but they true colour showed when their were mad.
racism jealousy and violent has gotto stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
or there will be so many more ali

It resides on both sides. I don't discriminate because of skin tone, just by personality.

Re: has racism stopped??????????????????
amir khan doesn't see so bad
good news for u is ppl believe ali has the best personality ever

Re: has racism stopped??????????????????
where there is ignorance or sheer hate there will always be aspects of racism....
i agree with the duke on this one, i like someone or i dont and its personality that defines it...
personally i dont care about skin colour, its irrelevant....

:coolclick: for ya. I've been called a racist on this forum numerous times. But guess what!? Fook them! I like fighters of all cultures, Prince Naseem, Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, Ahmed Kaador, Jack Johnson, Mayorga and Vargas. Hell just too many to list. But I do hate James Toney and I think he does not represent his self all that well.

Re: has racism stopped??????????????????
Ali was a punk...talented but the Uncle Tom comments were divisive to his own race.
Racism isn't something only done by white people, as long as people know that all is well.

Re: has racism stopped??????????????????
thank u for sayin great things by ali, who is known for greatest charisma, greatest personality let jus say greatest person.
but racism still live on as the devil does, the cleverest racist pretend to be nice

Re: has racism stopped??????????????????

clicked you back...
thats the correct attitude to have, you should just like the fighters for their style or some aspect of their character that appeals. i like many different styles of fighter from a multitude of cultures and ethnicities and the same fundamental things shine through, be it their ring prescence or else personality. agreed about toney, his comments do seem to grate on me these days. as does his extraordinary waistline... ;D

Re: has racism stopped??????????????????
Muslims don't eat pork. So Toney saying he'd shove a porkchop down his throat was an insult ;)

Well i'm a brother and I think Ali wasn't shat but a draft dodger...like most superstar athletes they like to hear themselves talk and fortunately for him he talked his way out of going to war...
Here's my thing...every country like every family has problems and the USA..yeah we have our share of idiots, but the point is this...its so convient for motherfuccas to bad mouth the country while sleeping under the blanket of freedom and security that government and military provides....

Re: has racism stopped??????????????????
Draft dodger? What was right about the Vietnam War? Wasn't it a little strange to you that they changed him from a failing grade inelidgable to 1A? and what did the Vietnam war prove? And Ali not going had a major major major impact on history and society, had he went to war the whole system may be different. It was a great thing for Ali not to go to the draft.

Re: has racism stopped??????????????????
I see no harm in people bad mouthing their country....there is a lot of spleen to vent sometimes....
I agree with Starr. The Vietnam war ultimately proved nothing and ended in a very costly stalemate (dare I say defeat? :P) for the U.S. and many people within the States were questioning the reasons why the US was there in the first place. I think it was a positive thing that Ali did not go to Vietnam...
If I was enlisted to go off and fight in a war that I thought was unjust and against my entire belief system then I would most probably refuse to go as well.....quite often governments are not expressing the popular will nor really giving a shit about you....such is life...

See what I mean...you said if you were enlisted you would refuse to go to war if you disagreed..that's not how it works...it's funny that people think is wrong to send soldiers to war...listen that's a soldiers primary objective.. defend the country...period...not to seek out free money for college or whatever other capatilist agenda someone might have for joining the military...
Also if anyone has so many negative things say about their country whatever country that might be...the solution is very simple...GET THE FWOOK OUT!!!!
Because nobody in the government stops anybody from their pursuit of happiness...and if everyone really examined their on lives then they'd see that it is probably a self inflicted wound and not the government that's causing whatever trouble or discomfort that they think they're having with their lives...

yeah, a soldiers duty is to go to war when there is a demand for their presence. thats their proffesion...but being called up is a different thing.
Ali was a proffessional boxer. if he opposed going to the war then why should he go?? like i say if i was enlisted to go off and fight in a war that i really thought was unjust i would probably just say no as well. thats my free choice as a rational thinking human being. people have the right to make a stand if they vehemontly disagree with something. we dont owe our clumsy governments anything, especially not our lives if its something we dont particularly feel is justified.
and as for saying that people with nothing good to say about their country should just get out, well, thats overstepping it a little perhaps. people have the right to express free opinions and they should be able to do that in the comfort of their own country.

It was a lot more then "I don't want to go because I don't like war" It was a lot more then that. And the way you talk about it, I'm guessing you don't know what the Vietnam War was about do you? ;) Because it had nothing to do with defending the USA ;D

Well fact was it was US policy at the time to stop the spread of Communism seeing how this was during THE COLD WAR.
Also FACT we tried to help France one of our favorite allies who ended up with a total surrender to the VC, this means they left their people, their troops, everyone.
The war started being different at 1967 after the Tet Offensive, we judged our victories by body counts and not by land held and it came back to bite us in the ass.
I still dislike Ali no matter what he did, he was a jackass and I can't believe black people hold him in as high a regard as Martin Luther King Jr., Ali was divisive and called his "black brothers" Uncle Toms without any reason other than they weren't with that SHAM of a religious sect "The Nation of Islam".

How convient is that...that like saying its okay to bad mouth your parents while you sleep in their house, behind locked doors...if someone doesn't like their country...and disagree with how its being ran by the government..then you should leave...frankly i don't give a shat what the government does..as long as when I out for my pursuit of happiness i don't get hit with a ICBM..

Yeah Ali wasn't anything but a mouth piece...and don't say black people..because I think he was nothing more than a big mouth fighter that talked his way out of the war...and trust me, its not that many black people that take Ali's philosophy that serious....

Re: has racism stopped??????
I still find it amazing that most "african americans" follow Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton...What the fuck have they ever done besides extort money from people?
YES it's extroting money, look NASCAR paid Jackson and do you see any black drivers or black owners???
They follow the limelight to keep their careers going...I was surprised Jesse and Al weren't in Durham for the lacrosse scandle!

I don't follow any one of them dudes...i could care less about them...sharpton, jackson, esp Farakhan..so
Trust me man...not as many black americans as you think follow those guys...

Re: has racism stopped??????
well, many people do care about what their governments are doing, and so they should.....i reiterate people have the right to speak out against what they disagree with. the government has responsibilities and if it shirks those responsibilities then it is up to the public and media to pull it back into line....
you dont seem very politically astute to be honest. the government is not a benevolent force and to be frank it doesnt care 1 iota about you. you must be wary of such a power. welcoming an Orwellian state is a very naive thing to do.
in fact im british and i live in korea....you must think me very wise, for i do despise the ruling party of my native country and yet live soundly beyond its borders! ;D
-
Re: has racism stopped??????
that's excellent...your actions speak much louder than your words...
And no I don't really consider myself a political person, but I'm not blind or naive either....I just don't concern myself with the conspiracy theories that might be going on within the government...
I'm too busy trying to continue to rich....
I guess you must've liked the movie "V for Vendetta" ;D

i dont concern myself with conspiracy theories. im just a realist. my major was politics. i spent years studying these guys. im just aware...
why do you think i live in korea, im trying to get rich myself...
and "V for Vendetta" was an alright flick but then again we dont get that many decent western movies out here...
