Floyd Pattersons opinion on Clays transition to Muhammed?

Floyd (who practiced a religion based in Europe) didn’t get that part of the constitution.

He said he wanted to beat Muhammad Ali, a man from Louisville who like him represented the U.S. in the Olympics, to bring the title “back to America.”

 

Invite it in. See what it thinks of your American values.

 

"America represents something universal in the human spirit. I received a letter not long ago from a man who said, 'You can go to Japan to live, but you cannot become Japanese. You can go to France to live and not become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey, and you won't become a German or a Turk.' But then he added, 'Anybody from any corner of the world can come to America to live and become an American.'?"

 

All I know is that once the fighting and talking were done, Ali and Patterson were fine with each other.

 

Or an African-American.

 

This attitude is the Achilles heel that cultures like Islam will exploit. Take a look around Deerborn if you’re unconvinced. Try drawing a cartoon of Muhammad there, in your own country.
