Muhammad Ali has become too mainstream and with non black people I get the feeling that there admiration runs along the lines of "Yeah, Ali had a reason to complain, but today's blacks have no reason"
Even in the UK. Ali's death was the main news headline on the BBC and an extended slot at that. I think they forgot that Muhammad Ali was savage with white people

His mouth was reckless and I love it
They couldn't even wait till his body was cold to start lying when the evidence is out here "He was such a gentle giant! We loved him and this is what I shall tell my children."
No chump, he lit into y'all asses, y'all hated it and you're happy he is finally at rest so you can finally act un-bothered by all the old footage documenting the very Black Pride that y'all FEAR. They kill me with that mess
What I like EVEN MORE is he never took a single word of it back.
I don't recall Ali ever back-pedalling with his words. He said it, he meant it, and he stood by it to the end.
He was before my time, but he transcended generations with his bravery. This is what I looked up to with Ali. I wasn't around when he was THE fighter to beat, but the guts he had to defend our people was the bravest characteristic about him.
He was NOT afraid of these
racist ass white boys.
This is why I'm going to refuse to watch the CNN and BBC coverage of him and all these other news outlets and their whitewashing of him. White folks didn't give a f*ck about Ali until he started shaking.
I know Ali used to shake his head in disgust at today's athletes and entertainers. They are a bunch of cowards with no substance even though they have more money and power than Ali and his fellow celebrities had at the time.
He actually went broke for standing up for what he believed in. He was truly the GOAT in more ways than one.
