            Not sure if PBS was involved in the process of making this one BUT PBS makes some incredible documentaries that Jack Johnson one still probably the greatest one I've seen as far as Boxing Documentaries

              No, it's not the most fertile ground, but I'm interested nevertheless.

                The occult establishment like to promote this America hating, white hating, racist, christian hating, islamo *******, sufi/occult ******. Coincidentally those are all occult establishment objectives: destroy American values, white christian culture, push racism/divide and conquer and push islam. The black fighters of his day hated his guts like Joe Frazier and Sugar Ray Robinson they knew he sold his soul and was peddling hate.

                    If someone was pushing total integration and total equality rather than division, wouldn't that be the actual way to destroy white christian culture? By definition, by singling out that you want to preserve white christian culture, you are pushing an intrinsically race-driven manifesto.

                    You would struggle to find in American christian values anything congruent with the actual teachings of Jesus Christ that you will find in the gospels.

                    Some teachings of Jesus:

                    Judge not, that ye be judged.

                    Don't pray in a church or in the street like hypocrites. When you pray, shut the door, and do it in secret.

                    When you pray, don't repeat standard phrases. God knows what you need before you ask.

                    You can't serve God and money.

                    Don't worry about what you are going to drink or eat, God will provide.

                    And this corker which I quote word for word from the King James Bible: "Think not that I am come to provide peace: I come not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household."

                    Given this last one, if Ali was pushing an ideology of division, it seems in keeping with the direct teachings of Jesus Christ himself.
