A very sensitive issue still. Mohamed Ali was vicious with his attack
on the 'devil white man' when he was indoctrinated into the "black
muslims" (sounds a strange lable these days), but became the best
loved citizen on earth.
Such anecdotal evidence would have no meaning if there wasnt still an
underlying racism abroad. Look at what happened at the O.J trial.
It takes time for consequences such events as slavery to work its way
through a culture, but it is happening. Perhaps seven
generations ?;-).
When I first read the line, I though he was being accused of being a
wife beater, so we can add semantics to the mix.
No doubt someone here could read my last line, miss the "being
accused" bit and we have another chinese whisper.
