Man what a life Muhammad Ali had...friends with Sam Cook and Malcolm X :whew:...just glad to know I was able to shake his hand once.

Wow really?

Was it from a fundraiser or book signing?

.... Or were you old enough to see him in his boxing career? :lupe:

didnt sam cooke get gunned up and clapped quick ???
Yea, at a motel in California.

Sad.

Sam is my all time favorite artist. I read his biography... Chilling and eye opening. His voice was angelic but his life close to the savages were his downfall.

It was hard reading about him.:wow:

In todays world 2 dudes could not sit that close together without rumors swirling...but since these 2 are greats..its no big deal...bit S Cook legit looks like he sitting on Alis lap
Think about the extra brain power black men have to expend just to make sure that their completely neutral actions/contact is not misinterpreted as something that is considered a weakness or a scandal.

It's really disheartening. As a Black man, I'm definitely not jealous that non-black men can draw dikks on each other's faces as a prank without anyone questioning their sexuality, however, the hypersensitivity that does exist creates these bullshyt codes.
