But he's not my hero and he broke the law....that's the way I see it and that's the way I will always see it, he could have gone to college, gone to Canada, joined the National Guard or whatever but he took a POLITICAL STAND and he paid the price, no one told him to do it, he just did it.......and then he called people WHITE DEVILS......sorry to disagree with that as well because as a white person I find it offensive but oh wait....people can offend me but I cannot offend them because I am a white devil and this is the way of the world now.

I'm not a racist or a bigot but the world makes it hard to see people as individuals and Ali's actions make it hard for me to approve of anything he said or did during his time....but I feel for how the government treated joe Louis because Joe Louis was an AMERICAN and not a ______-American, be it muslim, african, italian, spanish, etc American.....I think that liberalism has split people up more than it has brought them together and I'll prove it if you want me to
The same goes for me... on offending you.
But if one race was making my race feel inferior and telling us, me, what to do, how to do it, when to do it.... I'd be hard pressed to obey them if they wanted me to fight their war.
