    give me a big hug and a kiss."

    "Instead, he called me a N***** White Serving Slave."

    "I was shocked, and I started to cry. Why would he say that to me."

    "Then I looked back at him, and he walked back to this table with a bunch of big-shots sitting
    there. A bunch of lawyers and money men. They were all 'WHITE''. "

    When I came home from 'entertaining' the troops in Vietnam 1972. That is when Cassius Jr. gave
    me grief.

    My Television Special was in 1976. Just before my Television Special was about to start,
    Cassius came by the studio with Flowers and Candy. He got down on his knee's and begged
    forgiveness.

    He 'begged' to be on my Television Special.

    He said he was wrong about all the 'foul' things he said. He started to cry like a little boy. I felt
    pity for him. Because he was really not that bright.

    I told him that he could on my Television Show, if he behaved like a human being.

    He bowed to my commands.

    Stop making this stuff up you are embarrassing yourself.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    It's not entirely his fault.
    Rather I think it's his imaginary friends that come by and visit him at his room at the Psych Ward.
    They're the ones who come up with these stories.

    Ali took his stand for better or worse. He stood out for better or worse. I have never thought of him as being "the greatest of all time" that's how he thinks of himself. He was a great boxer and I never doubted that but the greatest? Nope.

    Joe Louis is the greatest of all time, he has the stats to back it up.


    As for the celebrities who did USO tours, God bless them, that was the absolute least they deserved. Vietnam was a shit war illegally started by Democrats...and conveniently blamed on Nixon.

    Vietnam started America's communist revolution....commies infiltrated media, education, and government.

    So much so that some "Americans" wanted us to lose the war....you saw it again in Iraq and Afghanistan...these fucking surrender monkeys have no clue how good they have it....and due to young men willing to sacrifice everything for the American way of life.

    Troops shouldn't be sent to slaughter for no reason and they shouldn't be welcomed back with disdain and contempt either.
