How did Muhammad Ali get away with calling Joe a “Gorilla”, can you imagine the firestorm if a white person called him that?

Calling Joe Frazier ‘gorilla’ also from an earlier era when people weren’t so thin-skinned. It was all in playful fun and Ali was full of the vinegar. I’m glad Frazier won the first championship fight vs, Ali. Prayers for Joe—a warrior who achieved. What a left hook he had too.
