No need to visit Houston. The Vietnamese took over the entire East side of New Orleans, which then became a gun and knife club.The neighborhood grew so dangerous that my wife moved her first husband's casket to the West side, just to avoid going over there. The largest shopping mall in New Orleans had to shut down and was demolished because of gang activity. So did a brand new amusement park on the east side. I don't really blame them that much. They learned everything they knew about violence and guns and drugs from us.
You're not too bright are you? I was referring to the parents of those kids you claim are so nasty. I wonder how long you'd have lasted in Saigon if you'd been transplanted into an alien culture.
Mainly because I am a VNV ......So why do you call yourself a "Vietnam ERA" Veteran when you never got within an ocean of the place?
Another Conservative crapping on another dead black man.
How very unoriginal.
You could see at the Holmes fight that Cassius had no muscle tone. He was just a punching bag. A bit flabby.I've never called him "Ali" and never will. He says that Clay was his "slave name" which must have made his parents bust with pride.What he was and wasn't carry equal weight. He was a great fighter, a fighter like the world had never seen before. And he was a yellow, draft-dodging coward who we may forget got somebody else sent to Vietnam in his place. Was he the greatest ever? Who knows....many think Rocky Marciano would have knocked his block off . His claim to fame was most of the white world wanted to see him get his block knocked off to shut his mouth whether we admit it or not.
Was he sane? Hard to say....He threw his Olympic gold medal into a river because somebody called him a "n1gger". He converted to islam and devoted himself to Elijah Muhammed, the man who had Malcolm X assassinated and despised the white man. And took a princely sum of Clay's fight purses. And somehow, unlike other traitors, never had to serve a prison sentence for refusing the step forward to serve the country that made him rich and famous.
I saw Clay once here in Phoenix back in 1976. Drove past some mosque downtown in my white Coup deVille and there he was outside with a bunch of little muslims wearing blue suits, standing at attention. We made eye-contact briefly. He was bigger than I'd suspected having only seen him on TV....I wondered if I could boot him in the chest before he landed a punch on me was one recollection of that moment. He may have been a muslim but he still appreciated a fine Cadillac was the other.
Larry Holmes gave him the beating he'd had coming for his whole life and gave him the brain damage that finally shut his mouth. While I took no pleasure in seeing him turned into a vegetable, it didn't make me sad either because I had no respect for him.....none. Was he an icon?....for what?
Ali was a great ambassador to the world. He made a difference in many lives for the better.I've never called him "Ali" and never will. He says that Clay was his "slave name" which must have made his parents bust with pride.

Yes he did,...... Muhammad Ali converted to mainstream sunni Islam in 1975No he didn't.
you sound like a guy who hated Ali....Ali beat Frazier twice,the 3rd time Frazier took a beating....and he beat Norton twice....and formans water bottle was drugged?.....Ali outsmarted the guy and made him look bad,i dont blame George for saying that.... and like i said,if Ali wasnt 38 when he fought the much younger holmes there probably would have been a different outcome.....but thats the fight game....when Ali fought holmes he was 38....you could have probably beat him...if he was 10 years younger it probably would have been a different story or at least larry's age at the time....
Clay went in the ring with Holmes because the leaches that were his entourage got most of his money over the years. Larry Holmes hated Clay and could have taken him out in the second or third round...but didn't to punish him. Kenny Norton whipped his ass too as did Frazier and so would have George Foreman if his water bottle hadn't been laced with a sedative in Zaire.

Yes, Muhammad Ali converted to mainstream sunni Islam in 1975No he didn't.
Are you really this stupid in real life?
Just curious........
Correct.......he embraced Sufism in 2005. .......Sufi too I believe.
Poor Tom. About the only one left in the world who sees Vietnam as a noble cause, instead of a path for political opportunists bent on clinging to power at the cost of millions of deaths. Hell, we even had to support the assassination of Diem, our own chosen corrupt head of state.....
There's still thousands of us who know what Vietnam was...you don't so don't pretend you do.

This has nothing to do with him being a conservative or Ali being a black man.
Whether I agree with the OP or not, I think your comments says nothing true except to speak very poorly or yourself.
Question: Are you really this stupid in real life?

No Tom, your boot to the chest wouldnt have stopped him from making you look like a little girl but hey, you can always live vicariously through Holmes for lack of your own ring greatness.
And he was a yellow, draft-dodging coward who we may forget got somebody else sent to Vietnam in his place.

Horse shit. What he did took a tremendous amount of courage, standing up to an imperialist government who was enslaving Americans into a war we had no business being in, sending them into a meat grinder to be killed or maimed just to satisfy the personal ambitions of politicians.
