    He was an idiot, a hugely entertaining, athletic and charismatic idiot, but still an easily manipulated idiot.

    Nobody is flawless.

    Ali will remain the single greatest sportsman ever, regardless of what you spineless cretin think.

    An idiot who excelled in his field, saved a few lives, inspired a few million, gave a significant amount of his wealth to charity, took a political stance very few were willing to take and was regarded as an icon of his time.

    I guess it puts the lives of others in perspective.

    It's not that cut and dried do yourself a favor and read up on Ali don't just go along with crowd he was a tool for the NOI and he didn't love his community as much as folks think and can you tell me is there a worse thing to call a black man that helped you and yours in bad times a uncle Tom.Know I'm in the minority but I don't think he's a great person end of rant.

    This. I didn't even write anything. So shameless of a post.

    Not to mention labelling said fellow Black man a gorilla and saying his face should be donated to the Bureau of Wild Life or something.. and boasting about his skin being lighter and hence prettier/somehow better :scaredas:

    Sorry but that IS pretty idiotic coming from someone supposedly standing for Black community.

    Nothing more than modern day Islamophobia being applied to a historically AMERICAN character.

    No less from a ****ing BRIT who refer to mixed kids as 'half castes"

    All you can do is call names,that is your entire gameplan? If you can say more, it better be some facts becasue at this point you absolutely no credibility.
    The message is clear to everyone reading that you do not have one fact to refute what he said. Bravo in proving dayuum's point for him.

    The good things that he don't excuse the fact that he sometimes acted in a petulant, arrogant manner.

    The bad things he did don't change the fact that he's done quite a bit of good throughout the course of his life.

    Have you ever met Ali?? Are you old enough to remember seing him fight live???? I've done both. Ali told us that story about the honour of dinner with the president then a few days later he was refused service in a Louisville Ky diner. He did throw the medal away & really whenm you think about it its understandable why he did it
