"Youre a hater of your people if you dont want to save your race" Brilliantly put. Good that hes black saying this, otherwise itd be "racist" haha

I don't see whats so bad about what Ali is saying and it doesn't qualify as racism in my book. Racism is believing one race is superior to another which is not what Ali is saying at all. He is probably right that two people from different cultures are going to have more difficulty in making a relationship work, just common sense really.

@PolakFury Shows that miscegation in humans is natural. Our ancestors were mating with Neandertals and other types of early human.

@Ownage230able Some people in Asia are almost as dark as Africans and Tiger is 1/4 African, 1/4 Thai that is dark, 1/4 Chinese that is dark and 1/8 Native American that is dark and only 1/8 Dutch that isn't.

[Ownage230able]

@hydrolito I have seen 1/4 blacks and they don't look black at all well they do but they look more asian or white mixed Tiger Woods look more black.

@Ownage230ableBased on what I have read Tiger is 1/4 thai, 1/4 Chinese and 1/4 African decent 1/8 Native American and 1/8 Dutch. So 1/4 Thai and 1/4 Chinese would make him 1/2 Asian.Sheemar is lighter than Tiger and lots of Arabs, Asians and Cherokees, etc. have dark skin, dark thick hair, and brown eyes. European also except generally not the dark skin.

@michaelyouth Whoever they date weren't around 400 years ago and didn't have anything to do with it.

[hydrolito]

@Ownage230able There are well educated black women that are Doctors and Scientists and black men who are lawyers and businessmen, etc.So they are not all low class.

You can learn about new cultures and new ideas I grew up a Methodists but now am an atheist although, i live in a community surrounded by churches so a Chinese guy wouldn't necesarilly have to be Buddhist and listen to chinese music although he might.

@michaelyouth So you're white trash? So a white trash, ghetto, low classy, racist white man is sitting here saying white people (white women specifically when it was actually white men who raped slaves) raped and killed black people? Right? And you're defending this? If you are white you're by far from educated, you are actually ghetto and low class. So if you are white you must hate yourself as a white man, calling me white when I said numerous times I'm multi-racail you again are an idiot.
