hating the other. The good part is that what Ali did wrong was only
words. He never acted on those words. And he's since retracted them. 40 years on
and people still can't forgive. They only remember the bad parts even though the
good parts far outweigh them.|

Howard C'S.This new tough guy,Les,an ex cop and apparently an ex vet,has got me
nervious about my way of expressing myself.I'll eventually get to him and find
out who the real "oil can harry "is.Your points are well taken.I have to agree
with you in my humble ,inarticulate way.Ali was way to late in his heartfelt
apoligies about the fact that devils come in all colors.I know he must have
suffered horribly during those three years he was forced to live on his meager
ring earnings to date.Thank God us mixed race devils,white,black,hispanic,native
american,who did the for real fighting,in,66,67,68,69,70.didn't have to suffer
like Angelo and Howard C's couragesly politically incorrect hero Ali did.He
should have apologized a long time before1 984.So what if Frazier does dislike
and desrespect the man?So what if he only apologized for public consumption?They
tried to kill each other for 41 rounds!Ali used every racial and personal slur
he could think of.His childlike,crowd pleasing antics didn't fool or lesson the
insults Joe Frazier's camp had to indure. |

Does not give an e-mail address.n/a is no excuse. My e-mail address has
been posted for five years on this site and I have received mail from Mr. Jimmy,
Sonja, and the ever entertaining Jimmy Dorsey. And I will continue to do so as
long as I post here. Anyone here can contact me if they so desire. I am not a
fly by night poster.|

wellcome me back,brother.I'm not back yet!I can tell from your tone,your not
either!|
|7/19/05 12:10:24 AM|Fan|USA||n/a||||10| Bob, I have my reasons for not
sharing my address. That should have no bearing on your evaluation of my posts.
BTW, I too have posted here, on and off, for years. I hesitate to get
involved in a competition with you, but I met James and Jerry several times over
the years and I contacted James when I read that Jerry's condition was so poor.
I sent James a modest donation for the JQF and a personal gift for Jerry, of
little monetary value but one which James later told me meant quite a bit to
him. That still means a lot to me. If I were nasty or vulgar I could understand
your criticizing my desire for privacy, but I am not.I find it curious that
you do not level the same charge against some of the low blow artists around
here. Is it only those who dare cast a critical eye upon the great Ali who are
required to identify themselves, or does disagreeing with you on any topic make
full disclosure mandatory? |

Ali renouced his beliefs on NOI but it was easier to do so in recent times than
it was in the 60s. Malcolm X did so and look what it got him? It got him
dead!Malcolm found out we can't judge a person by the color of his skin
and his own people killed him for stating the truth.Same with Ghandi.
One of his own people, a hindu, killed him because Ghandi was trying to unite
hindus and muslims.I get a kick out of some bigoted white person saying
us white boys got to stick together as if he saw some of my siblings, he would
know that I have un pure blood in me (according to him, not me).Two of
my grandparents were non white, while the other two were mixed european (German,
English, and French).What other race am I? Hint to those newcomers who
have not read some of earlier posts on the subject, part of my family are not
foreignors.|
