    bro stfu

    why go fight in a war and kill inoccent people but you cant eat or **** where you want in the same country you are fighting for.

    I dont blame him.


    its not anyone's "duty" to fight in the military. the crap is overrated. We dont owe this country nothing when everything in this country was forcibly taken.

    If you want to war...how about you go and send your offspring.

    If politicians had to do that, they'd feel a little different about war

        RIP great man. ALI proved all the supremacist wrong, that's what I love about him

        but because of that , there are folks that have developed a supremacy complex over other races, but have shown their ignorance , inferiorities and insercurities to ridiculous degrees

        ALI was the yin and yang , the poster boy to maintain balance IMO

          That's rubbish. His dad was an immigrant from a different culture. Just respect the differences and move on.

            He was a run-of-the-mill heavyweight champion. And top 20 boxer. You're not intelligent if you believe Ali's "The Greatest" self-branding. He was an overbearing narcissist so of course he's going to say he's the greastest LMAO
            You don't know **** about boxing

                LOL, I would never want to be a part of a culture where a man chooses to watch a boxing match over being there for the birth of his own son, there's nothing wrong with criticising other cultures either.

                If you'd read though, the guy clarified it was purely accidental, now respect the facts and move on.

                  If the definition of supremacy is to simply be better at boxing, then phuk, those guys really are ******ed lmao.

                      An ATG.

                      The love that he has recieved after the news has been overwhelming, surprising, and very moving.

                      The man was respected and revered even by people who disagreed with his views.

                      A true legend.

                      Ali lives forever in us all, and through the sport we love.

                      WAR ALI!!!!!!!!!!!!!
