Ali was right

I think this is just an attempt to put dirt on man. history has proven to be great, yes he started off as a mere boxer and did things he shouldn't have. But since boxing he has supported charities the world over and even set up his own boxing gym, all the while battling parkinsons. He did'nt join the american army to go to vietnam and so he shouldn't have, if in his own country people weren't sticking up for his rights then why should he go fight for the rights of others? and just like he said "no vietcong ever called me ni###" which is the exact and right truth.
