Have you heard some of the things Biden has said about white people? He is creating a bigger divide between the ethnic groups than Trump. With Trump it's, "We are all Americans. Let's be patriotic" With Biden it's, "White people do bad things to minorities" which just causes racial tension and it's not even true. Look at the violence statistics. Notice a pattern? It ain't whites attacking blacks.

Was the he a professional tennis player or something? Muhammad Ali dodged the draft. Let me ask you something: do you agree with the draft? You really need to do some research before posting ridiculous and easily disprovable claims. Quote "Muhammad Ali dodged the draft". NO he did NOT dodge the draft at all. He refused to join the draft but did NOT, like many run away. At the trial on June 20, 1967, the jury found Ali guilty after only 21 minutes of deliberation of the criminal offense of violating the Selective Service laws by refusing to be drafted.[25] After a Court of Appeals upheld the conviction, the case was reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1971. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_Ali 1 1

I would also have refused the draft for another pointless war.

The two people referred to were not descended from immigrants though, they were actual immigrants. They were both born outside the US, neither was a US citizen at birth. Both immigrated to the States and acquired US citizenship later in life. 1

He changed his religion and used that as an excuse. Pull the other leg mate. Lol In any case, bone spurs is a better excuse than religion. Irrespective of that, why should you need an excuse? What about Human rights? You don't wanna fight, you don't wanna fight. No shame. 1

You do post such a pile of rubbish. My religion started out as C of E but by the time I was 18 I had given up on ALL religions. My spiritual home is now Stonehenge, and NO I don't need anybody's permission to change my religion. Muhammed Ali achieved a great deal in his life. He brought pleasure to millions of people worldwide. What have you achieved in yours so far? Apart from, that is, slagging off dead people who cannot answer back, and showing your ignorance. At least Muhammed Ali had the courage to stand up for his religion and go to jail for his beliefs, unlike all the white college boys who burnt their draft cards, then scuttled off to Canada to sit the war out. Were you ever in the military? I was a 15 1/2 year old volunteer, knowing that from the age of 11 I wanted to join the RAF. So I did, and proudly served my Queen and country from January 1960 until May 1984. 1 1 1

To falsely claim something in order to avoid the draft was called a "dodger". Much like a certain other president (initials JRB) who deferred his draft 5 times for being a student, then got a medical deferment for asthma he suffered as a teenager. While he was a lifeguard. And a football player. Much like others of that generation (Clinton, Bush, Cheney etc). All men who did whatever they could to avoid service. I never had much time for John Kerry, but at least he had the stones to serve his country. And for that he gets credit. 2
