I don't know enough about Cassius Clay to condemn but Ali getting this posthumous cocksucking is pissing me off.
What did he do that was so great? Win fights by cowardly exploiting rules by backing into ropes and leaning back? Tactics that would not transfer to real fighting since it would leave you vulnerable.
The guy was racist as fuck against blacks, he went on about how "pretty" he was while obviously being mixed with lighter skin and Caucasian features compared to more stereotypical guys like George Foreman.
Gets backpats for "courageously" not doing Vietnam. More like saving his own skin since being jailed prevents him getting killed or injured enough to harm his boxing career. He spouted shit about it being a white man's war to kill brown people when it was actually about protecting people's rights against communistic oppression.
The guy is not only a Muslim but he is one of the worse types of them. He buddies up with Malcolm X and Nation of Islam who believed "Jakub" made white people as evil/inferior corrptions of their black master race. These guys held more bigoted beliefs than the KKK at the time.
Somehow he gets a pass on his batshit beliefs because he "stood up for them". Oh no, free food and shelter in jail while you get hero worship for avoiding danger, big stand.
Stripping him of the title was doing him a favour since he got to be the "true champion" in the eyes of the people without actually having to defend it. He probably got a hernia bending backwards over roles all the time and needed years in jail to rehab it. Also an easy way to cheat in his wife since she wouldn't be there all the time and he could let fans in to fuck for conjugal visits.
Why in hell did he get to carry an Olympic torch? WGAF what he said about Trump? There are much better black people out there to idolize so why is everyone all about Ali? He basically just preached selfishness, prioritizing blacks over whites, he promoted violence, he was basically just a "black power" faggot.
I should have known something was off about Will Smith when he played him. I just figured it was a cash grab.
What was all this so called humanitarianism he did? Why should I care since it was not anonymous and thus served the purpose of building his brand so he could earn more paid speaking gigs, like how WWE funds breast cancer research so the mommies will let their kids watch.
