“He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end, may safely trust to God’s providence to lead him aright.” – Blaise Pascal. "There is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily" – George Washington letter to Edmund Randolph — 1795. We live in a “post-truth” world. According to the dictionary, “post-truth” means, “relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.” Simply put, we now live in a culture that seems to value experience and emotion more than truth. Truth will never go away no matter how hard one might wish. Going beyond the MSM idealogical opinion/bias and their low information tabloid reality show news with a distractional superficial focus on entertainment, sensationalism, emotionalism and activist reporting – this blogs goal is to, in some small way, put a plug in the broken dam of truth and save as many as possible from the consequences—temporal and eternal. "The further a society drifts from truth, the more it will hate those who speak it." – George Orwell “There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn’t true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.” ― Soren Kierkegaard
‘THEY AIN’T NOTHING BUT DEVILS’: Muhammad Ali’s son says father would have HATED ‘racist’ BLM movement | RT – Daily news
Muhammad Ali’s only biological son says his father would have despised the “racist” Black Lives Matter movement and endorsed all races, never singling “anyone out.”
‘‘My father would have said, ‘They ain’t nothing but devils.’ My father said, ‘all lives matter,’” Muhammad Ali Jr. told the New York Post.
The 47-year-old son of the legendary boxer, who is often noted as a cultural trailblazer for black Americans, did not stop at connecting his father to the “all lives matter” position. He also said Ali would have supported President Donald Trump — the late athlete endorsed both Democrat Jimmy Carter and Republican Ronald Reagan when they were running for the presidency.
Ali Jr. himself blasted the Black Lives Matter movement as “racist.”
“It’s not just black lives matter, white lives matter, Chinese lives matter, all lives matter, everybody’s life matters. God loves everyone — he never singled anyone out. Killing is wrong no matter who it is,” he said.
Ali Jr. also pushed back against anti-police sentiments and defended officers against accusations of systematic racism.
“Police don’t wake up and think, ‘I’m going to kill a n****r today or kill a white man,’”he said. “They’re just trying to make it back home to their family in one piece.”
He did acknowledge, however, that Derek Chauvin, the former officer now infamous for video showing him with his knee on the late George Floyd’s neck while he said he couldn’t breathe, was “wrong” and corrupt cops should be “locked up.”
Ali Jr., who lives in Florida, also singled out Antifa, the group recently recognized by Trump as a terrorist organization.
“They’re no different from Muslim terrorists. They should all get what they deserve. They’re f**king up businesses, beating up innocent people in the neighborhood, smashing up police stations and shops. They’re terrorists – they’re terrorizing the community. I agree with the peaceful protests, but Antifa, they need to kill everyone in that thing,” he said.
Some conservatives have embraced Ali Jr.’s rebuttal of BLM and celebrated his blunt words on social media.
Muhammad Ali’s son says he would have hated ‘racist’ Black Lives Matters
On the fourth anniversary of his death, Muhammad Ali’s only biological son says that his father would be against Black Lives Matter, calling the movement “racist” and the protesters
The official Muhammad Ali Twitter account, run by his estate, has shown support for the Black Lives Matter movement and posted generally supportive messages from some of the boxer’s other children.
Demonstrations across the nation over the death of George Floyd have continued devolving into chaos in recent days with protesters pulling down numerous historical monuments, vandalizing property, and turning to violence in places like the activist-run Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, also called CHAZ, in Seattle.
