    In Ethiopia there are some ethnic groups who don't look that negroid. I forgot their names, but have seen the pics. They have the same skin tone as Ali, but look even less negroid than he does.

      I have to say as Ali gets older he looks less black. He looks like a south american cuban right this time.
      I suppose he used to talk like a ****** kid. But now we cant hear his voice....
      Just an observation having seen him in ireland.

        I always wondered about Jeremy Williams race. At first I thought he was white, but later I saw some footage where he looks like he has black blood as well.

          Negroid is an outdated term.

          Ethiopians are considered as Semtic
          Somalis/Oromos are considered as Cu****ic

              No difference between Barack ***** and




              And of course there are varying colors of blacks in Africa. Semitic peoples have been mixing with them for thousands of years and whites for hundreds.

                  The Irish are historically an athletic race. A tall strong people. Just look at the number of soccer players they've produced, and soccer is probably only the third or fourth sport in Ireland. Roy Keane and Liam Brady, the two best players of their generation in Europe, not bad for a small nation of 5m. The lad Tyson Fury is Irish descended, so it continues... Ali's Irish blood gave him something extra in my opinion.

                      It is, just not near as bad as England



                      Most posters are in the US where football means men in helmets.
