When some black friends learned about her when we were teens they were amazed 
France treated her better then her own country 
.......maybe 50% of young black guys will say they are going to be the next Muhammed Ali as a champion boxer( 
) although several I knew ended up in prison or the army ............a lesser 25% of all white people will say that have some connection , the most direct I heard was a cop married to a friend saying his father also a cop knew the white cop who spotted Ali's 's potential in the 1950's . ...... .. I was the ass't manager of the hotel when Ali died and stood in the lobby seeing all kinds of famous people there for the funeral walking by me. David Beckham and Arnold Swartzneggar had suites on the same floor.
hope we are all enjoying a brill weekend, will catch up later xx
who is going through the mill at the mo, wishing you a very speedy recovery Trisha big luv 
storm brewing, must get me cauldron out
