Christ, Bill Clinton? No doubt he'll go to great lengths about the integrity of Ali, how he was a man who stood for what he believed in, as if Bill has the first idea about it or stands for anything. Yuck.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
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.
@denilson200 , this is better! Shamelessly using the Death of an undisputed icon to wind people up with your racist shit. 😂😂
For the record, I also admire the fact that he never once apologised for any of his views, why should he if that's what he believes.
Not like Pac or Fury, who end up falling over themselves apologising and justifying themselves.
But I think your "95% non-racial post" stat is taking a bit of a kicking here! 😂😂😂
Our family were Ali mad. My grandparents on my Dad's side were Irish immigrants and they had two pictures on the living room wall, one of the Kennedy brothers and one of Ali. One day in 1977 Ali came to South Shields and my Dad took the day off work, came to our school and got me and my brothers out of our classrooms () and drove us through to South Shields to see Ali.
The news had a big effect on everyone especially my Dad, who is now in his eighties.There's not much you can really add to all the words written about him over the past few days so rest in peace Ali.

Muhammad Ali: Lennox Lewis and Will Smith to carry coffin at funeral
Britain's former world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis and actor Will Smith will be pallbearers at Muhammad Ali's funeral on Friday.
London-born Lewis, 50, became undisputed world champion in 1999, while American Smith, 47, played Ali in the 2001 film of the same name.
Three-time heavyweight world champion Ali died last Friday at the age of 74 in hospital in Phoenix, Arizona.
His funeral will be held in his home town of Louisville, Kentucky.
"I am humbled, and honoured, beyond words to help see my hero, Muhammad Ali, off to his final resting place," said Lewis, in a statement.
"Ali has always been an enormous inspiration to me, not only in my boxing career, but also in life. His journey began 74 years ago, and in that time, he not only transformed the world of sport, he used sport to transform the world."
The other pallbearers will be Jerry Ellis, the brother of Jimmy Ellis, Ali's former sparring partner and fellow world heavyweight champion, Ali's cousins John Grady and Jan Wadell, nephew Ibn Ali, former brother-in-law Komawi Ali and family friend John Ramsey.
Friday's service, which will be attended by a number of world leaders, heads of state and celebrities, will be open to the public and streamed live on the internet. It starts at 19:00 BST.

Ali was and is a icon he done more for boxing than any other fighters past or present.
The World has lost some spark Ali had a way about him in and out the ring.
This day has come he will be missed, back in the 60s watching him on TV with my Dad, great memories.
I was kid I was mesmerised by this man, never seen a fighter like him, and probably never will in my life time RIp The Greatest
