Jabir Herbert Muhammad — son of Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad and former manager of boxing great Muhammad Ali — died Monday afternoon at the University of Illinois at Chicago Medical Center.Mr. Muhammad, 79, had undergone open-heart surgery last week, said Joseph Morris, a Muhammad family attorney.
Mr. Muhammad had been in the news last year because of a lawsuit he filed against convicted political fund-raiser Tony Rezko to stay in his South Side mansion, a home built by the late Elijah Muhammad.In an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times last year, Mr. Muhammad said Rezko had “embezzled” him out of ownership of the home, even though he and his wife never moved out. They sued Rezko and Dr. Paul Ray, who currently owns the house. The suit is pending.

See there! He only died because he’s black.
Hopefully he was able to watch Mrs. Barack Hussein Obama on TV last night.

Perhaps it was Mrs. Huxtables speech that did him in?
Clay should have known better to have ever gotten involved with this zip wad. If Clay had gone into the Army, served his two years, found better management, boxed for three more years, he would likely be in much better health today and have more money.

No, but this guy may be the first in a string of "friends of Barry" that will have to surrender their lives for the benefit of Obama.
Cassius Clay was no rocket scientist; he was merely a strong and agile man.
“…The Muhammad suit involves only the mansion, in the 1100 block of East 49th Street. The Muhammads say Rezko persuaded them to put the home into a land trust when Jabir Muhammad was extremely ill in the 1990s. They say they had no idea Rezko intended to seize it from them.
Rezko’s lawyers have produced a real estate contract that shows the Muhammads sold the mansion and three adjacent lots to Rezko in 1993 for $519,000. Under their contract with Rezko, the Muhammads were to leave the house by Dec. 31, 1995, but they still live there. …”
