Piers Morgan poked the hornets’ nest Sunday when he highlighted a double standard among Muhammad Ali’s fans — that the late boxer espoused more radical views on race than Donald Trump.
The tweet quickly brought a swarm of social justice outrage, but Morgan did not back down. He argued that Ali was an important voice in the civil rights movement, but that is no reason to whitewash statements far more radical than Trump’s on race and immigration.

I never had any respect for the bigmouthed Cassius Clay... None at all.
It’s quite surprising to hear Piers Morgan make so many truthful statements lately. Trump is rubbing off on Piers.
Ditto that.
His trash talking attention whore persona was a disgrace to the sport and America.
His loud mouth rivaled his talent right thru the end of his career.
Mohammed Ali was the perfect coarse sports icon signifying America’s mid-sixties spiraling decline.
Eff him and his treasonous Nation of Islam association, too.
RE: “I never had any respect for the bigmouthed Cassius Clay... None at all.”
Most of what Ali did was an act. All of what he did was self-serving.
Or the Malcomb X that converted him to Islam. No respect for him either.
Trump has yet to espouse any radical views on race.
When one dares to speak about race in non-politically correct terms these days, that is considered radical. Unfortunately.
haha! hold fast Piers, hold fast man!!! they’ll try and wear you down...... don’t cave!
you can’t make this stuff up...... haahaaa
That is likely true.
And Miley Cyrus, Brittany Spears, Lindsey Lohan all did outrageous disgraceful things as part of “their act” too.
Attention whoring is disgraceful no matter what.
Wonder whether that privileged athlete joining and supporting a radical race hating successionist movement was only “part of his act” too?
His celebrity association with The Nation of Islam no doubt made that blight all the more popular, drew in thousands of blacks into that hateful organization, and contributed to racial strife to this very day.
Eff Mohammed Ali, talented boxer, sh1tty American.
RE:

Amen.
Islam has proven to be a curse that threaten’s America for over fifty years, from the inception of Nation of Islam, to this very day.
RE: “Or the Malcomb X that converted him to Islam. No respect for him either.”
How nice...
American Muslims remember Ali as hero for their faith

Final word:
‘The white man is the devil’ – what the Nation of Islam taught ...

13 hours ago ... In 1974, Muhammad Ali told Michael Parkinson and a stunned chat show audience that the white man of America was “the blue-eyed, blond-headed Devil”
I wonder how the SJWs feel about Ali supporting Reagan and various other Republicans?
So.............your point is? Or do you have a point?
I fully agree with you.
But the public thinks he has by weighing in on a wall, and by wanting to ver Muslims coming into the country.
Libs idiotically implying that Islam is a race is really getting old.
Morgan seems to be having coherent thoughts lately.
Wow, I had no idea Ali was against mixed marriages.
