No excuse wat so ever 4 the things he said,the way he talked 2 joe and then the glory he received for it,the great martin luther king died 4 his dream that one day children of all colors would play together,and clay goes out and preaches that different colors should be segregated!!!!!!! I use 2 dream of meeting clay(doesn't deserved 2 be called ali) and shaking his hand and taking a picture with him,but if I seen him now I wouldn't even shake his hand,imo opinion as a fighter,he was one of the greatest ever,but as a person he was a disgrace
    first off, arent' you a hypocrite, you rant on about Ali being a racist and yet you go on to disrespect the muslim religion, just cause you don't agree with it you don't have to go and insult the religion, and before you try and go after me, no i'm not muslim, and he had plenty of reason for saying the things he would about race, hell when you see your people getting sprayed down with high powered water hoses, have attack dogs set loose on you, beaten down with sticks, and even murdered on the streets, by the way that was just what the police would be doing, not counting acts by the KKK, you'd tend to be a bit bitter and make your feelings be known, and let your people know you shouldn't have to still be taking it, especially after the whole bullshit of the draft, who the fuck has the right to try and obligate you to do something like join the military if you do not share the same views as them, hell that even takes away a bit from the people who willingly fought or died for their country, cause they actually died for what they believed in, not an ideal that was forced upon them, Ali did take the taunts and all the things he said to Joe way too far, and it seriously effected him, but he's gone out of his way various times to make ammends with Frazier, you can't say that Ali is a disgrace in anything aside from maybe being a husband, he's done humanitarian work even while beaten down by Parkinsons disease. It's easy to judge, but nothing to do with his boxing career, i'd like to see you do half of what he's done for people's rights
