If you read Bruno's article, you will see it has nothing to do with race. He is attacking Ali for being a draft dodger and womanizer. It is politically correct today to praise Ali, but those of us old to remember the times, have a hard time doing so.

Ali was an unwitting tool of the Nation of Islam, a radical racist organization now headed by Louis Farrakhan. I was rooting for Joe Frazier in all three fights.

First off, I AM old enough to remember those times since I was a part of it.

it has nothing to do with race.

Ali joining the Black Muslims had everything to do with race and in the south they had every right to hate whites.........

He is attacking Ali for being a draft dodger

To be honest with you, I'm surprised that any blacks from the racially segregated south responded to their draft notices........

Sorry but I don't share any of Brunos views except maybe the womanizing and that I could not care less.

Ali denounced Farrakhan and his group over 30 years ago..........

Muhammad Ali Repudiates Farrakhan
