Who knew Ali was part Irish???

[XviciousX]

I didn't, but look at this:

Ennis, Ireland: Irish immigrant Abe Grady settled in Kentucky in the 1860s and married a freed slave. Their granddaughter, Odessa Lee Grady Clay, gave birth to perhaps the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time – Muhammad Ali. Who could’ve imagined? Ali, who learned of his Irish roots in 2002, went to Ireland last week and paid a visit to Grady’s hometown of Ennis in County Clare. The local folks went nuts. Obviously, Ennis, a town of around 25,000 people, had never seen anything quite like this. They decorated store fronts, thousands lined the streets to cheer his motorcade, his visit to their Town Hall was televised on big screens outdoors and much more. It was as if royalty had come to town, which is how the people Ennis seemed to view it.

everybody looked at him as a black man through out his life.
that ''he's part irish'' **** doesn't mean anything.

not trying to be racist or anything, but normal whites look at him as black, they won't say he's part ''irish''.

black genetics dominate the white ones.

I know what your saying, but this kinda took me by surprise like when I read Duran was half-Mexican.

honestly i dont think aybody on the planet is pure blooded. im 99.9% sure if we all did a dna check we will find some other **** in us.

not necessarily, he just had more black blood than irish blood, simple as that if a white guy has a kid with a half white half black woman the baby will more than likely come out more white than black. look at halle berry's kid
