    A lot of people are f*cking *ssholes.

    Should we still refer to Cary Grant as Archibald Leach or John Wayne as Marion Morrison?

    I knew he was a close friend of Johnsons, but I didn't know about the Harry Wills campaigning. Regardless of any of that, Nat is a legend!

    People make mistakes. I doubt if Nat were around in 2016, he would consider Ali to be "his fake name."

    Should we still refer to Malik Abdul Aziz as Mike Tyson?

    Should we still refer to Mikaeel Jackson as Michael Jackson.

    What do you call Tyson and Jackson?
    Why? Please explain.

    If you remember him, what do you call singer Cat Stevens?
    If you don't refer to him as Yusuf Islam, please explain why not.
