I was going to get a pizza last night when I turned on the Larry Elder radio show. He said that Ali's best friend has written a book detailing this. He also mentioned that Jim Brown and louis ferry kan also support Trump. I have respect for two of the three.... But anyway Larry was just highlighting the fact that the liberals call any black person that leaves the liberal plantation uncle tom's and such. He wanted to know if there were any black folks that thought this was the case with these three....
Whoever said that pulled it out of his butt. Before he died, Ali soundly condemned Trump's anti-Muslim stance, and called for understanding of the religion of Islam. As a humanitarian and advocate for religious freedom, Muhammed Ali wouldn't have come within 100 miles of Donald Trump's hatemongering. Hey, remember when Trump said there have never been any Muslim sports heroes? He never heard of Muhammed Ali.
I guess you have no snarky comment on the link... I would think you guys would be use to always being wrong by now.
Ali is famous for the "Rope-a-Dope" allowing his opponent to punch himself out, grow overly fatigued and become easy to defeat. And I find the Ali/Trump conversations and comparisons interesting. Currently the political left are throwing punches from the 3rd row. Trump is on the ropes, playing defense, blocking the blows and.................................................................. waiting
Larry Elder should know.He's honest to a fault and routinely goes up against black activist troublemakers like Sharpton and Joe Madison { The Black Eagle }. I wonder how Joe " BY THE WAY! " Madison would explain this situation. I listen sometimes in the morning on XM Sirius radio to Madison on the Urban View channel 126. The guy is non-stop Trump bashing and constantly balling out callers who dare to question him.I figured out his routine.When a caller he doesn't agree with calls,This Black Eagle { Madison } asks him a question { usually a bias question } and won't let up until the caller answers the way Madison wants. If the caller takes too long or gives the wrong answer,Madison pretends the guy hung up.I mean,that must be what Madison does.He did Twice in a row on Thursday. 2 callers in a row got disconnected.What are the chances of that. Then Madison uses his stock reply ... " There Ya see,the caller couldn't answer my question " I think Madison does this routinely.To make the caller seem like some bigot. Larry Elder got a promotion of sorts a few months ago.He got syndicated on Salem Communications replacing Hugh Hewitts time { early evening }. Elder is smart and tough.He don't take crap off the likes of those like Madison or Sharpton.
I have a comment on your link. Larry Elder posts a tweet in Sep 2016 which says a friend of Ali (Tim Shanahan) said in Aug 2015 that Ali would vote for Trump. This is it? This is all you've got? If yes it is woefully pathetic. Get me an actual quote of Tim Shanahan saying the same thing AFTER Trump went all-in on attacking Muslims in Dec 2015, calling for a ban on all Muslims entering the US.
Oh please. This piece of "news" made the rounds last year, an unsubstantiated second-hand quote, putting words in the mouth of a dead man. And even if it was accurate, it was from before Trump started ranting about banning Muslims. Meanwhile, Muhammed Ali issued a statement months before his death rebuking Islamic extremists, but also rebuking Trump for painting all Muslims as terrorists. So what did Trump mean when he said there have never been any Muslim sports champions? Intentional lie, or just plain ignorance?
This Tim is supposed to be Ali's best friend from what I understand. Are you aware that Trump and Ali were friends? Regardless, the fact is that a lot of black people with influence are starting to see the liberal scam against the black community for what it is.......liberals only care about black folks at election time. The real sell outs are the race hustlers that get rich off this without ever doing anything to fix it.
So... You are calling Ali's best friend a liar... Because he stands by this claim.. I think you're a racist if you do....
Must be that many here at PF don't know what a Huge Boxing fan Donald Trump was. He was Ringside at many a Huge Prize fight. Don King was on Trump's side.As well Mike Tyson. It only makes perfect sense that Ali { Cassius Clay } would also be. Did you know that Ali { Cassius Clay } was in the 1962 movie : - Requiem For a Heavyweight - starring Jackie Gleason,Mickey Rooney and Anthony Quinn as Mountain Rivera.The very first scene of the movie opens with Mountain Rivera taking a pounding from Cassius Clay.Clay,the ever exuberant one, congratulates Rivera after the bout,like a true man of class and even compliments him on his ability.Rivera wasn't supposed to go past 4 rounds.His Manager { Gleason } had a wad of money on the fight.Betting his boy { Rivera } wouldn't last more than 4 rounds. Mountain went 7 rounds.Therein creates the great drama { written by Rod Serling of Twilight Zone } of Gleason and his over the hill Fighter up against Ma Greeny and her band of Bookie bullies. I don't think Trump is too scaredy cat of todays liberals,let alone shill pols.
