I've said before but ali's legacy has been whitewashed for years now so this shouldn't surprise anybody. They did the same to Mandela. When david cameron mourned for him when that same man want Mandela executed while he was in prison.

The funny thing is if Ali was an upcoming boxer today with the same bravado and confidence he will get the same hate as he did back then from them. Now they're acting like they loved him all the time.

Watch Mayweather get the same treatment when he dies. :mjlol:


Thats why I didnt trip off of the Piers Morgan tweet, because its true that Ali said a whole lot of unpopular sh!t when he was young. Its kinda strange how the stuff he was saying and doing would kill any popularity outside of being a bad guy nowadays. Endorsements? Never. Unapologetically Black and Muslim. Still to be fair, Black Muslims dont come to mind when white America thinks Islam.

Something I've been meaning to research is did he ever make amends with Malcolm or his family considering he sided with Elijah Muhamad? Also, what was his relationship with Kareem like considering the Hanafi split and murders?

Man I had to turn ESPN off yesterday watching CACs talk about what ALI meant just felt wrong. It was cringeworthy.
:childplease:

As much as I wanted to watch the coverage I opted for YouTube videos of his fights and interviews which are all well documented.


Right. My brother taught/school on his first son about Muhammad Ali . He doesn't like white people gonna tell these black kids about Muhammad Ali , shyt don't fit right with us.

Was Ali cool with Clinton?

If so, OP, you have no grounds to be mad.

Because now Ali is dead, the media wants to change the narrative of his life as a champion of peace and humanity, and bury his outspoken agenda to encourage Black Empowerment.

The want to Make him in the image of this generations MLK.

He said that was part of his daily routine,to open and read all of em,and a lot of em were people sending him stuff to signed,and he said something he makes sure to sign everything cuz to him that's his way of giving something back so that he makes it to a better place when he dies
