Late pass but I never knew that Muhammad Ali endorsed Ronald Reagan

[Standing on business]

“He startled many longtime fans in 1984 by endorsing President Ronald Reagan for re-election. Ali also backed friend and former New Mexico Gov. David Cargo in a losing race for Congress in 1986, proclaiming Republican Cargo was "the right white." He also stumped for South Carolina’s conservative former State GOP Chairman Van Hipp for Congress in 1994 and helped Republican Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch win re-election in 1988”

Hot Take... but if you've endorsed anyone who has won the presidency in the history of this country (outside Obama), you probably endorsed a racist.

Which is why I write-in

Malcolm was probably turning that leaf too. He was already embracing whites even more.

Ronald Reagan was one of the most popular Presidents of all time. More than a few Black celebrities endorsed him. They thought he was just an American Cowboy becoming a president.

He was governor of California and changed state laws due to the Black Panthers.

Poster with 36,506 posts averaging 9.7posts a day for over 10 years and is an avid gym goer with gainful employment, a mortgage, beautiful girlfriend, and a freezer full of red snapper (super overrated btw) gets quoted by a stupid daft mothafukka about something over a joke about an athlete-activist paling it up with an actor turned governor turned president who set our country on the fukked up course we are navigating over 40 years later.

Be easy.
