Is Muhammad Ali an American Hero?

[IamInuit]

I am not American but if he's not then I don't know who would be. The term "hero" could mean many different things to many different people though.

I guess "hero's" are a little like beauty, it's in the eye of the beholder. In my humble opinion Ali is a hero to many Americans, and just guessing, i'd say if you ask most black Americans if Ali was a hero, the overwhelming majority would say yes.

I agree that "hero" could mean many different things to many different people, like someone said, hero's don't have to be perfect and none ever are.

Good point on your possible definitions of "Hero." In the two suggested ideas you explained I would agree with you.

So sure he could be one or one billions "Hero"

BUT.............................


The Question Was......."American Hero" This he is not. Hero and American Hero are two different things

AMERICAN HEROS DIE EVERYDAY FOR OUR COUNTRY AND TO PROTECT US HERE.....MILITARY, POLICE, FIRE....

DON'T TWIST THE TERMS....IS IT AMERICAN HERO OR HERO? ANYONE CAN HAVE A HERO. SURE IT'S AN OPINION BUT ALI WAS ABOUT AS MUCH OF AN "AMERICAN HERO" AS AL SHARPTON


AND NO IT'S NOT ABOUT RACE...BECAUSE MLK WAS AFRICAN AMERICAN AND FOR SURE AN "AMERICAN HERO."

What?
