While Ali makes some great points it's kinda ironic his conversion to Islam considering the Arab slave trade was thriving in Africa for centuries before the Europeans arrived.

It was a good move for Ali to convert to Islam. Mohammad affectionately referred to people like Ali as "raisin heads".

His opinion that "all white people are devils" was also the cause for him to literally blame whites for the existence of homosexuality (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Tyad99ncEp0)


I mean dont get me wrong, I understand it's fine for him to be a bigot since he was black and boxed good.

But I mean Im just sayin.

I agree people should say how they really feel.


We just need a *ahem* "certain segment" of the public to be more consistent in how welcoming they are of that.

Ali's positions at the time were based on the Nation of Islam, which he left after a few years because he eventually disagreed. Malcolm X also left the NOI. From what I know he was never hostile or angry towards anyone of any race outside of the ring and had many, many friends/colleagues of other races.

Later in his life he had evolved more towards Sufism I believe and even beyond that, almost to a pan-religious POV where he felt like all religions were just streams/rivers of water with truths in them or something like that.

I remember having to do a high school report on him.

As for Jesus, he probably looked closer to this in reality:

Yes I agree that can be a grating excuse but in Ali's case I think it was legit. Some of his closest friends were people like Howard Cossel and Angelo Dundee. Beyond he also did disavow racist statements on the record too.

He was always very generous with his time to any white person who treated him nicely too, especially kids.

I personally don't think he was a racist, I can understand even as a white person the appeal of the NOI in the 1960s to a black person. They were humilated and treated like dogs (well probably worse) on a daily basis, the idea of a group that said black people were kings and carried themselves with dignity I could see having tremendous appeal.

Now they also have some nuttier ideas in the fine print, and Ali and others like Malcolm X eventually did leave.

The 50s/60s/70s was simply a more dramatic time in American history and Ali was, like him or not, at the middle of it, a huge part of American history. Ali was such a personality that even many flat out racists I think came to eventually respect him, the man was a force of nature.

It's kind of sad what we have in comparison ... Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift, lol, I don't give a crap about meeting any of these people.

Yeah, I hear what youre saying. I just think it's interesting that he's 'allowed' to act like a racist prick but if a white person behaves even slightly comparably, theyre burned at the stake. And it's the people who hold these double standards that are constantly preaching 'equality.'

Do we want equality or not? It's funny seeing the "tolerance, equality!" crowd slurping Hambo Ali, who was a virulent racist, homophobe, and mysogynist. Hell, try talking about Ty Cobb or some other old white athlete today without it being brought up "what racist he is!!!!" Hell, college liberals prob would demand all evidence of Ty Cobb's existence dropped down the memory hole into oblivion.

But they love Muhamed Ali!!!

It's just a double standard. It's black privilege. It's a microaggression, and Im triggered, and I want reparations.

If he had stayed with the NOI and maintained those beliefs for his entire life I would agree he's a racist, but he didn't.

It isn't a double standard, even racist people I think eventually came to love Ali, lol, his spirit was so indomitable.

I don't know enough about Ty Cobb to really make a judgement call on that.

Ali transcended being just an athlete to every ethnicity, you are probably talking about one of the most famous people to ever have lived in the history of mankind.

Dumbass. The race of Jesus is irrelevant; in actuality, he preached a doctrine of human equality (and dignity) and universalism that has broken down the barriers of race more than anything else.

Though Semites can generally be referred to as "white", so such semantics become even more ridiculous and petty to go on about.

And why are you talking about "Palestinians?" That was the province of Judea, which was later merged with Syria by the Romans and renamed Syria Palaestina so as to deliberately sever the Jewish connection to the land (because they revoted).

But anything to parrot a buzzword I guess?

Bruh, millions of jews turned white over the centuries due to the same evolutionary mechanisms that initially made the rest of Europe white.

Surely living predominantly in Europe over 2000 years would have the same effect on Christ.

People's features change as they get older. Nobody is older than Jesus. Not sure why anyone would think it's not perfectly conceivable he'd be white at this point.

And we don't know what Jesus looked like anyway. There are plenty of fair-skinned people from the Levant region; it's not like someone took a photograph. People spent ages claiming that Hannibal was "black" too just because his native country was in Africa, but turns out the Carthaginians were more similar to the Portugese than any other modern people (i.e. tan, like most of the important peoples of the ancient world).

And yet St. Paul, the man who brought Christianity to Europe, was a Jew from Tarsus (just north of Syria), and was likely of a similar kind of ethnic appearance; yet he somehow managed to preach and spread the word in Europe (a non-European!!).

Europeans followed the teachings of Jesus before there even existed any art-work of the man, and when they knew very well where he was from. But by all means, keep prattling away like some annoying child who thinks he's discovered something clever (when it's really just a petty and trivial thing no-one else gives much of a shit about).

Paul was a fraud, an apostate to the law according to the original Jewish-Christian followers of Jesus. His main goal in life was to expand the Jesus movement to the gentiles by merging it with the already established pagan religions that were dominant. I'm sure that involved portraying Jesus (whom he never actually met or knew, mind you) in the likeness of the European Gods in the areas he preached.

Just a guess. :lol

Spot on with both points.
Paul most certainly didn't know Jesus and it's laughable that accounts of Jesus ' s life are compiled by a fraud and meant to be taken seriously.

Regarding your second point, I wonder why he hasn't been able to reply to such a simple point. He says race doesn't matter but Jesus has been portrayed as a white euro for a reason. If it doesn't matter, as he claims, then it surely would make more sense to accept that Jesus was anything but white - that Jesus looks more like the bearded "terroritsts" evangelicals and white supremacists target these days.

The middle east is a huge hodgepodge of skin tones ranging from light to dark. There's no possible way to proclaim Jesus would have looked more like DonDadda's picture than any other depiction of a guy with brown hair and brown eyes. It's not like they've got him with blond hair, or curly red locks and freckles. You can probably find images like that if you look, but the standard depiction is a guy with brown hair, brown beard, brown eyes, olive skin. I've never understood this idea that he looks impossibly different in European images than he possibly could have looked.


http://www.visionsofjesuschrist.com/weeping121.jpg

This guy couldn't have been a semite?

That's ridiculous to say. People in that region vary wildly from light to dark and in hair kink. I get that people want to undermine the idea of Jesus and rustle the jimmies of Christians, but their claims to his appearance have no more merit than any typical depiction in the average church. He could have been anything. Nobody knows where Mariam and Yosef originate from geographically. Being born in a region doesn't mean you look like everyone else there.

Also don't forget, the vast majority of Europeans in history had no clue what semites actually looked like. There were no pictures. So if you're drawing an image of a guy everyone in town worships, of course you're naturally going to draw something along the lines of what you know. In fact Rembrandt would use local jews as his models for painting Jesus, because he figured that would make the most sense. By this time obviously the jews in town were more europeanized themselves. So really the whole thing is a very natural confluence to make.

What a load of absolute drivel. Firstly, whether Paul was or was not a fraud is completely irrelevant, and just seems to have been used as an opportunity for you to engage in some Christianity-bashing, which you evidently thinks makes you look smart or cool (or some combination of the two). Take your vanity elsewhere.

Secondly, the only point I was making was that Paul was from a similar region to Jesus, and that the only thing that made him out of place in Rome was his religion, not his appearance. He preached and converted in Rome, and yet you and Don are pretending he would not have been welcome in Europe. Idiocy.

Thirdly, Jesus has not been portrayed only as a "white euro"--that is false. Sure, some depictions look like that, but the early depictions bear similarities to one another, and are pretty ambiguous when it comes to determining where the imagined person was supposedly from/ what his skin-colour was (a stupid question in the first place).

A 4th century depiction (from a villa owned by Constantine):

A 6th century one:

But keep up the nonsense. Artists will have depicted Jesus as they imagined him. End of story.

I don't think there are any. But whatever, if you defend Christianity from the petty and simple-minded attacks of juvenile morons, you must be a Christian apparently :rolleyes:.
