Muhammad Ali was a first and foremost a BLACK MUSLIM, who OPPOSED and RESISTED WHITE SUPREMACY and the western phenomenon of WHITE PRIVILEGE, this is conveniently brushed over by people who want to claim him as a universal hero, he wasn't, he fought against the foundations of what many are now standing on

I think he is a universal hero but I agree that a large part of who he is and his legacy is his passionate fight for black pride and civil rights.


This article in the NY Times discusses this element of his legacy very well-- its entitled Never the White Man's Negro

      I have never used AI in my life. It's just notes from my forthcoming monograph on light industry in Dulwich and Camberwell 1879-1946 (dates chosen for obvious reasons).

      Christmas Cheese!

      Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!
