one time siding with Ali regarding social issues was racist when he was spouting
off the rhectoric of the The Nation of Islam.NOI often said all white
people are inherently evil.Ali does not support such nonsense now and he
hasn't done so for many years so supporting Ali is not racist now.|
|12/6/05 08:06:29 AM|Angelo|Washington, DC||funktron@yahoo.com||||10|But Kent,
that "racism" on the part of Ali would be racism against white people. I think
Noam is being accused of racism against black people. That even drives home the
point more strongly. Why would Noam, if he's racist against black people, be a
supporter of a black man who has been accused (in his past) of being racist
against whites? None of it holds any water.|
|12/6/05 12:10:15 PM|Kent|Murrieta, Ca||kentallenent@aol.com||||10|Angelo, that
is true some here thought Noam was being racist against black people, which I
don't think he was. Being an Ali supporter, regarding boxing even when Ali was
spewing out NOI propoganda would not make someone racist even back
then.I believe that the only time someone could be called racist and be
an Ali supporter at the same time is if that person promoted NOI'S hatred (back
then). But NOI desevres no praise just because there have been no
documented evidense of violence against white people as their philosophy is the
same as the Ku Klux Klan minus the violense but only from the black point of
view instead of the white perspective.In my mind racism is racism
regardless of who that mindset is directed at. I agree that supporting who Ali
became and racism don't go hand and hand.Especially supporting Ali as a
boxer has nothing to do with race.|

guess I could understand how someone who wasn't familiar with the term
"niggling" could misunderstand and think Noam was saying something negative or
ridiculing. But it's all been adequately explained and now all of us know that
niggling is a proper English word, used widely by respected columnists and used
verbally by educated, responsible and good people. I guess my latest issue is
that just when it was dead and buried, someone had to bring it all up again,
intentionally taking it out of context and accusing Noam of racism. That's not
only ridiculous and insulting, but it's also a dangerous thing to loosley accuse
someone of racism when it is not deserved. That's like loading a pointed gun in
someone's direction and pulling the trigger---you don't know if it will hit them
or not, but you're damn sure it will scare them. I don't like it at all and I
don't think there's a place for it here. |

hope Paul continues to post here as he is huge Jerry Quarry fan but I hope that
he too can put this quarrel behind us and move on.Noam and company, to
their credit, have toned down their posts and they deserve credit for doing so
but they are not the only ones who have posted something they regret. Most of us
here have posted things they wish they hadn't so what is wrong with starting
with a clean slate?Angelo, you and I have disagreed about things from
time to time but we have always been civil, so it is possible to argue and not
make it personal.Steve is another story. He continues to heckle me just
because I am not an Eagles fan. Just kidding!! As although Steve has his
football team, he is still a good guy.Massimo, wouldn't it be a shame if
Jumpity Bruce left forever because of the fighting here? Now that would be a
shame.|
