When Ali was Ali I couldn’t stand him but I came to respect him after he retired. I was wrong about him. He was a great man who came of age before civil rights and being a white man I had no idea what it was like to be a black man in those days.

Being a Black man in those days & "G'woin tu kill the yellowman" was the same as being Klan."

I was and remain a huge Ali fan.
At the same time if you examine his life he did a LOT of terrible things. Supporting the murder of Malcolm X has to be way up there.
