Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali, famously made the statement when he refused INDUCTION INTO THE UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES, that no Vietnamese ever called him a N****R. Personally, this is a racial epithet that is not in mine and Cecelias vocabulary, because to us it is degrading, full of hate and condemnation. I think the reason why no Vietnamese ever called Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali a N****R is because, to the best of my Internet surfing and use of a VIETNAMESE/AMERICAN translation website, that offensive words does not exist in their language. Would the North Vietnamese and VC ()National Liberation Front) have discriminated against Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali if he was not famous and because he is black? You better believe he would, just click on the link below and see how AmerAsian Children are treated in Ho Chi Minh City today. These children of American Servicemen during the war, many abandoned by their mothers, are now afraid sometimes to walk on the streets. AmerAsians of black service men are taunted by other Vietnamese for the COLOR of their skin!! What is Cassius Clay/Muhammad Ali doing now to render help to these children. He has a lot of organizations listed on his website, his museum in Louisville, KY, The Muhammad Ali Center, where they raise money to helps others. I also did not see any organizations that help our Wounded Warriors. He was and always will be a COWARD to me and many, not all, Vietnam Veterans. He tried using the CONSCIENCEOUS OBJECTOR ploy only when he got drafted, but it is ok for him to pummel someone in a boxing ring for millions of dollars! I SINCERELY FEEL COMPASSION for this man for the state of health he is in, to do otherwise, I would be a phony, hypocrite like he!
