In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

RIP Ken and Semper Fi.
Ken Norton had a big influence on a couple of generations and especially the gang culture in America.
Ken would always enter the ring with the Marine Corps Hymn playing and the USMC flag. And he always kept his Marine Corps "white walls" haircut today known as "high and tight."
It would be the Crips and Bloods who would follow suit of Ken Norton with the shaved sides of their heads eventually leading to all of the hair being shaved.
The Mexican gangs would soon follow suit, no longer long black hair combed straight back.
Soon the young white wannabe gang bangers / wannabe rappers would soon follow suit.
But it all started with Ken Norton.
