I don't even know Michael Richard's political leanings, but I'd be absolutely shocked if he wasn't MAGA :oldlol:

No, they don't at all.
the only people that can be racist are white folks.... I just proved that to be the case with Muhammad Ali quotes.
Ali said hateful things towards Joe Frazier that he acknowledged and apologized for. He did it to promote the fight. The things he said he didn’t believe in. Hulk Hogan flat out doesn’t want his daughter dating n words. And he admitted that he can be racist in his tirade. Keep trying though.
And let’s not forget Hulk Hogan comments towards Kamal Harris during the political race. Where he apologized and blamed alcohol for his actions. As he endorsed his fellow scumbag Trump.

So because more people than myself and you didn't view Ali as racist, that is "proof" that it is impossible for blacks to be racist? :oldlol:
Aside from the ridiculous logic of that, YOU don't need other people to verify anything for you. You are a grown adult. If you know him to be racist, that's all you need.

He's throwing your own words at you, you dumb shit.
You're the one who thinks blacks can't be racist. That's why you're willing to overlook it when they do it.
"Life isn't fair" you said.

I literally said Ali was very racist.
I'm not sure either of you even know what the hell you're talking about at this point.
Are we [I]really[/I] trying to compare Muhammad Ali's statements from the 60s to Hogan's and acting like there are double standards here? Fvcking wild man.
Ali grew up, and spent 25-30 years of his life, in a time where he and people that looked like him could be legally barred from public establishments, from being able to vote, and from purchasing a home based on race alone. This really wasn't that long ago :lol
You'd think a little grace from the racist standpoint should be given here, yea? Particularly since, again, the comment were [I]from that time. [/I]
If I'm not mistaken, I believe his sentiments on the matter softened quite a bit over the years.

It was right in the middle the Civil Rights era, when racism against blacks was rampant like you are mentioning. So Ali's very blatant racism was excused by most for that reason.

Emmett Till was a big reason for the Civil Rights era. A 14 year old boy who was lynched in public for "offending a white woman". Hung on tree in 1955.
That killing outraged Americans, both black and white. So it was hard to care about whatever it was Ali was saying.

Very good point.

But you're perfectly fine not holding him accountable for it though, so what's the point in even admitting it?
You would never offer that same grace to a white person you suspected of racism. You would never ever give a white person a "pass" for being racist and looking the other way when it came to others condemning them.

Wtf? So all white people during that time should be judged accordingly then? No "grace" for the non-racist whites being lumped together with the prejudice ones?
I actually take zero issue with Ali said. I don't think he was being racist whatsoever. The fact that you guys think it's racist is what's weird, because it proves that you're willing to excuse racism when it's done by blacks. The time period shouldn't matter.

What?
No, I'm simply saying that blacks were harmfully, tangibly, and most importantly LEGALLY discriminated against during this time period. So you could understand (hopefully) why someone going through this would be a little miffed.
Just because not every white person was terrible doesn't mean that someone on the other side isn't justifiably upset based the experiences they've had and the white people and system (of white people) that allowed it. Understanding the context of the time period is absolutely of critical importance..
