Two completely incomparable people from very different lives and backgrounds.

Shag off with your nonsense.

Both are well known for being outwardly prejudiced. Big deal, theres lots of people who are. Don't see what makes these two men in particular very comparable

They also had 2 feet and a nose each. And they like trousers.

There's loads of similarities.

Ali reacted to oppression, overcame it and in later years became more compassionate.
Trump is a kunt.

Are you on the wind up OP?

Trump and his supporters are being oppressed by the liberal elite, the similarities are the same.

Trump is probably disappointed he won't have the opportunity to deport Ali

Yes they were from completely different backgrounds but they believed in the separation of different people's.
Ali at one stage thought "white people were devils":

Was he saying this for the craic or what?

I'm going to assume you're a massive troll, but for the sake of reason, I'll treat this like you're not trolling.

Ali came from a time of massive and complete systematic racism in the United States, he was barely considered a 2nd Class Citizen by a freakishly large amount of the population, and only because of his talent as a boxer was he treated any better.

Ali did say things about white people back in the late 60's and parts of the 70's, but only a few years later and retracted everything he'd said when he'd realised he was mistaken.

Donald Trump on the other hand is the bloated, ignorant, blowhard trust fund baby billionaire with no actual cling to how the world really works.

Are these the similarities between Ali and Trump then?

While the NOI is a racist organisation I dont believe Ali was one. His attitude to race relations softened as he got older so much so that he acknowledged and celebrated his Clare ancestors.

I know people think that us mods are heavy handed and close threads on a whim, but
- too soon
- conspiracy theory
- too soon
- bad maths
- it's asking for trouble

If there is any reason that you think this should be re-opened, PM me for discussion.
