Muhammad Ali the Greatest RIP Legend

[X]

I am genuinely heartbroken.

This man was, and is, my only hero.

Rest in peace Champ .... you did good

If you never believed in the Devil before in your life, but watched as Muhammad Ali, who boasted himself as too fast, too pretty, who others labelled him as "The Mouth of the South" and "The Louisville Lip", at the end of it all become reduced to a shell of a man who couldn't speak, couldn't move and body started to crumple over right before our very eyes, then you would not only believe in the Devil now but you would also know that the Devil's tool was cruel irony.

God bless Ali. What he did for Black people and people of colour of our generation could only be matched by the likes of MLK, Pele, Malcolm and Mandela.

He not only helped us to have dignity. He gave us a right to express our beliefs no matter the persecution and no matter the penalties, because that right of expression and idea is what truly makes us valuable assets to this human race.

He had his faults, like all people do. But his faults were as a result of the time he was born into, and not because the material of his humanhood was any less faulty. If born in 1980, Ali would have the same principles for different causes and then some, because now in this era we know better and know more!

I look around today, and there ain't many like him left. PERIOD. Black, White, Asian, Hispanic. He is truly the last of a good crop.
