Re: why ali refused to fight in vietnam
Ali also said, "No Vietnamese ever called me a nigger."
Incidentally, I once met Mohammed Ali briefly in an airplane from St. Louis to Louiville. He had Parkinson's so couldn't sign an autograph for me but was good enough to give me a pamphlet on Islam that he had pre-signed. I still have it. RIP Ali. You were the greatest!

Were you already in the US when this happened? Did you send a handwritten "correction" of that quote and mail it to the newspaper sacrificing 2.5 meals to save up for the postage stamp?

Re: why ali refused to fight in vietnam
No, I didn't. He'd have punched me for being unfunny. Instead, I told him about the chitchat I had with your nurse Raniammai as to whether she was afraid you might rape her to which she laughed saying that perpendicularity in your case bordered on hilarity and the only thing she was afraid of was that you might 'stiff' her of her wages. And he guffawed.swapna wrote:did you complain to ali about the hindi "imposition" that you were suffering at the hands of the northpeepals?goodcitizn wrote:Ali also said, "No Vietnamese ever called me a nigger."

and also the time when sapna said he wanted a 'coke' in thick malayali accent, that ended up in a shrieking altercation saying that it's not what he wanted, when they gave him a glass of bubbly coke.
