Discussion of Ali being racist [mod title]

And if this world is all we have, and this life is all we have…

How foolish is it to reject the pleasures of this world and suffer willful privation in the vain belief that this will bring us pleasures after death?

Well, besides the fact that this is very specifically NOT how that works according to most religions? It is not our rejection of the world, our refusal to engage in worldly pleasures, or our voluntary suffering that brings us salvation.

If anyone cares, I’m assuming the OP’s username is a reference to this children’s book.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled abuse and inanity.

Seems on par with the level of intelligence on display. :smiley:

It’s a lovely book, FWIW.

Nope, because nazi’s were wrong and still are.

Black racists growing up in that time had good reason to hate some white people

This is one of those extremely rare occasions where I agree with YogSothoth. One could hardly blame blacks growing up in the south in the 40s and 50s for harboring racial resentment toward whites. In fact I’d think it damn near impossible for them not to.
