    It allows them to never mourn a single death. And ensures that they'll not have a single soul mourning their death

      The people that let good men die where corrupt politicians. Clay didn't send anyone to war. I don't agree with Clays politics but he was a private individual that didn't have the power to force Americans to fight a war - only politicians and government can do that.

        I'm one of the most patriotic people you'll ever meet and I know for a fact that I'm the most conservative black dude in the world.

        But let me see if I understand:

        1. I can't eat in the same restaurant as a white man.

        2. I can't drink out of the same water fountain as a white man.

        3. Hell, I can't even take a dump in same toilet as a white man.

        However, I'm good enough to go die in a country by people who ever called me the n-word?

        No thanks. [emoji1475] that's not "fighting for freedom" when blacks had no equal freedoms then. Where's the logic in that?[emoji53]

        As a 10 year Marine vet, I have absolutely no problem with what he did and apparently The Supreme Court didn't, either.

        So the next time you mentioned a draft dodger(s), how bout mentioning John Wayne and Ted Nugent 's name while you're at it. They had no excuse.

        RIP to the greatest to ever strap'em up. Rest easy, Champ.

                  His passing did affect me, and I don't mind sharing why.

                  When I was a little kid in the late 60's/early 70's, my dad was a huge fan of Ali. One time he sat me down in front of the TV and said, this might be the best boxer to ever step into the ring. From then on, we always watched boxing together. Boxing is something my dad and I always shared, and Ali's passing is a reminder to me that life is moving along too fast, and the days with dad here on earth are certainly numbered. So, I choose to remember the athlete, the boxer, and some of the greatest times shared with dad.
