After his “Rumble in the Jungle” in Zaire, Muhammad Ali was asked: “Champ, what did you think of Africa?” He replied, “Thank God my granddaddy got on that boat.”

From a really juicy article on him prolly already posted here: But sad to say, despite their well-deserved reputation as tremendous athletes and sparkling entertainers, many American blacks have an unfortunate tendency to do dopey things when attempting to “reclaim” their lost heritage. For example, when they renounce Christianity in favor of Islam, they are merely trading one group of their former slave masters for another. Likewise, the original Cassius Marcellus Clay—after whom the boxer was named—was a white anti-slavery crusader who fought with the Union in the Civil War, whereas Muhammad Ali of Egypt was a warlord whose army enslaved the Sudanese. In other words, in striving to show how smart and hip they are, some crowds only parade their clownish stupidity. ----------------------------------------------------- “The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken
