It blows my mind, that fucking Wagner and Leni Riefenstahl can be blatant racists, I do get that that's there, I'm not an apologist, and I don't sit in a room like Alex de Large marinating on shit art with a snake in my pubes that otherwise would have otherwise been enjoyable AF, now, turns out the artist is a piece of shit. Throw it all away. I'm fired up because I fucking remember this time, it was not an easy thing to be able to catch a fight as a kid, I listented to this shit on the radio, like the Waltons, you watch Happy Days, they all have to be Packer's fans. The Fonz was a Packer, ...but scores on a paper, eyes closed on a radio, that would suck. Heroes were heroes. But as kid, Frazier was my guy,...no matter what you say or post, I was there as a kid listening to all the Ali/Frazier shit that's not even in the clips. i'm a white kid in the north, and I love Joe Frazier, he was extention of Archie Moore, they have little in common but by that I mean, from absolute dirt, so far beyond the eight ball. The tenacity. It made his name, and he was a giant, and maybe is the greatest. He just wasn't to me. Icon of being the man, the behind the scenes footage against Foreman, man, I hate politics and religion in sports, art, anything, but hard to imagine a way anything can be done.
But Ali, just beating up my heroes wasn't the point. They were my heroes for coming from jack shit and being the same kind of badass without the unwarranted and uncle Tom racist arm. If the world loves you, and you're still shitting on someone to that degree, that way. I never understood. Flawed heroes is a thing, but I only had one viewpoint as a kind, man i cried at the shit he said, the way interacted with the few guys I looked up to. Fuck him them, and always. However great you are, how am I the only one in the living spin who can acknowledge your massive status but still think you're a piece of shit. G O A T is subjective, maybe so, but not to me, and not sour grapes as a kid. You conquered the world, You did everything, but you lost me as a little kid, the way you dealt with my heroes. We get one life, and you can't please everybody. As a boxer, he's undeniable from any perspective, and as artist who is Leni? That would be a good book title. Just thoughts that pick at the brain.
