As racist as those jokes may be....

They're hilarious ;-)

Rocker was just joking too.
 
2001-12-18 02:41:00 PM
I think it was funny. This reporter should keep his mouth shut it and not cry foul just because of a few jokes.
 
2001-12-18 02:41:07 PM
Good for him!! People need to lighten up.
 
2001-12-18 02:41:29 PM
I wish I could get away with that...
 
2001-12-18 02:42:33 PM
I am the greatest! Hahahahaha. Man that guy cracks me up.

Nelson: Ha ha!

If you're going to Weeners, Pj6100, you need to be a little faster. This is like Florida--you may think you've gotten the early bird special at 4:30, but they're always a few old, experienced people just finshing they're dessert when you get inside.

What of "tolerance"? Come on, Ali - double standard?? You demanded religious tolerance for your "conscientious objector" status; can you not show tolerance to others?? Farkin' loser.
 
2001-12-18 02:44:12 PM
WOW OMG I LAUGHED SO HARD.
 
2001-12-18 02:44:25 PM
Oh, ha, I get it. The filter got you.
 
2001-12-18 02:45:08 PM
People could actually understand him?
 
2001-12-18 02:45:16 PM
How do you starve a black guy to death?

Hide his food stamps under his work boots.
 
2001-12-18 02:46:53 PM
Right on. Some people really need a sense of humor. Mel Brooks can make all the Jewish jokes he wants but a non-jew cracks one and it's racist.
 
2001-12-18 02:47:07 PM
Meanwhile, Champ...

The only cure for Loyd Graves
is a punch in the face. HARD!
...

If Ali can't tell non-PC jokes then smarmy loser staff reporters have already won.

its head was as big as a beer keg, its paws the size of a human chest, its estimated weight 1200-1400 lbs. site has (pic) of paw.

This author surely is demanding of a guy who could probably still knock his little punk ass out.

People need to lighten up. I say "way to go champ!"
 
2001-12-18 02:49:03 PM
I'm not racist. I hate eeryone equally.
 
2001-12-18 02:49:48 PM
Carls quibbled with our description of Ali's jokes as "off-color." She said she prefers the term, "politically incorrect." Now THATS Politically Correct. IWonder what's so offensive about the term "off-color"?

Oh.

Nevermind.

Grebh -

Bear steaks anyone?
 
2001-12-18 02:50:33 PM
Grebh you chod.

If your farking stupid ass link doesn't get posted, don't infiltrate a different article and pollute it with your crappy crap.
 
2001-12-18 02:51:36 PM
Those jokes were racist? Stereotypical maybe, but not racist. People use that word incorrectly around here about as much as they do .
 
2001-12-18 02:52:21 PM
As much as I usually hate Ali, I've got to hand it to him on this one...
 
2001-12-18 02:52:56 PM
The jokes are one of the many reason why racism exist. Plus, they're quite old too.
 
2001-12-18 02:53:18 PM
Only the Champ could get away with this, which is a shame. I'd love to hear these kind of jokes all the time, but this country is flooded with too many PC lovin' pussyholes.

If it had been a white guy saying that stuff, he'd have been barbecued by the media and beaten to death by those he was joking about. Double standards (hiring quotas, etc) and racism are symbiotic, and as long as one exists, so will the other.
 
2001-12-18 02:57:59 PM
Having said that, I chuckled at the jokes as well.

BTW, I'm Scotch-Irish, so I'm a drunken cheapskate.
 
2001-12-18 02:59:30 PM
9/10:

The Champ's "conscientious objector" stand was made in another era and can't be fairly applied to this as a double standard.
We ain't got no quarrel with no Viet Cong now, but there is a problem with overly sensitive politically correct buttheads like you.
Does concern over how people say things make you feel just.
Cuz its just dumb.
 
2001-12-18 03:00:13 PM
That reporter needs to shut his damn mouth.

Seriously with lines like "Yikes!" and "...needs to get some new material," he sounds just like some pansy-assed biatch.

Come ON. Make a REAL goddamn point here. Like Ali's funny.
 
2001-12-18 03:01:30 PM
Ali has never been a bastion of Political corectness I am glad he still has some of his wit left. HE is the greatest gladiator the ring has ever seen!!! Go Ali!!!
 
2001-12-18 03:03:48 PM
I want to read about a giant, dead bear in Alaska. I've been searching the FARK forums all day and I haven't seen ANYTHING. Anyone got a link?

He'll always be the greatest of all time.

He's a good man. Took a stand for his beliefs and payed a large price with his career.
Man I miss him and Cosel.

Bregh: That is one farkin' big bear! Crikey! Idn't she a beaut?!?
 
2001-12-18 03:06:22 PM
Is it true about the big dead bear in Alaska?!?!?!
How terrifically farking fabulous!!!!!!!

Oh heavens, I pray for a link.
 
2001-12-18 03:06:51 PM
HAHAHAHAH!! Ali ROCKS!! People are WAY to PC nowadays! Come on, everyone needs to relax a joke is just a joke.

Me neither....

the real headline should have read:

AMERICAN HERO WITH LONG HISTORY OF HEAD TRAUMA TELLS JOKES APPROPRIATE FOR HIS MENTAL CAPACITY: WHATS YOUR EXCUSE?

pepito pea
 
2001-12-18 03:17:22 PM
Sounds like the champ has been reading Truly Tasteless Jokes, Volume 1 - I remember when I was a kid that book was on the paperback rack in Caldor right next to those crappy romance novels and Golden books. I somehow doubt that Wal-Mart would be selling them in this day and age.
 
2001-12-18 03:18:37 PM
I am of latino and foudn the jokes funny -

How come there were only 10,000 mexicans at the alamo?
They only had three cadillacs.

Lighten up! Thems only jokes!
 
2001-12-18 03:20:08 PM
Pepito Pea, I don't get it. who's excuse?
 
2001-12-18 03:22:10 PM
A black, a jew, a lesbian, a mexican, a priest, an arab, a rabbi, a pollock, a retard, fb, and a dead baby walk into a bar...........
 
2001-12-18 03:22:51 PM
a joke to offend all - heh

Cuz its just dumb.

Irancontra: So tolerance is relative to the era of which one speaks? There is no one standard for tolerance now? Hmmmmmm . . . ok, tell Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, and all those other leftist losers that their demands for slavery reparation are all relative. Tell them they should have demanded reparations 135 years ago - not now, when no one in the U.S. owns slaves. Tell that to the African leaders who went to last fall's UN conference on racism and demanded cash reparations for slaves taken 300 years ago. Tell that to the Jews, who have been persecuted for thousands of years. Sure, tolerance is relative. SUUUUURRRRRRRE.

Political correctness has nothing to do with my argument. I am the last person you would consider to be "politically correct." I am merely pointing out the hypocrisy of Ali's behavior. Or did he take too many punches to the head?? Admit it. He's being two-faced about it.
 
2001-12-18 03:24:21 PM
i suppose the headline is rhetorically addressing the typical american who tells or finds such unoriginal and insipid jokes funny.

im not against scathing humor. im against stupid humor.
