^^^^^^^He said what he said and was STILL successful.
Strange...
I got that exact pic/frame over my computer desk in my bedroom. I wonder where Obama got his? I got mine years ago, literally blocks from Obamas house, from an African street vendor. But I think dude ripped me off. He charged me $60.
I grabbed me a Tyson UA Roots of Fight jacket a few months ago off Ebay. Was gonna buy a Ali one...but i think imma wait. I know they about to push the price to ridiculous levels.

Excerpt:
In my private study, just off the Oval Office, I keep a pair of his gloves on display, just under that iconic photograph of him – the young champ, just 22 years old, roaring like a lion over a fallen Sonny Liston. I was too young when it was taken to understand who he was – still Cassius Clay, already an Olympic Gold Medal winner, yet to set out on a spiritual journey that would lead him to his Muslim faith, exile him at the peak of his power, and set the stage for his return to greatness with a name as familiar to the downtrodden in the slums of Southeast Asia and the villages of Africa as it was to cheering crowds in Madison Square Garden.
“I am America,” he once declared. “I am the part you won’t recognize. But get used to me – black, confident, cocky; my name, not yours; my religion, not yours; my goals, my own. Get used to me.”
That’s the Ali I came to know as I came of age – not just as skilled a poet on the mic as he was a fighter in the ring, but a man who fought for what was right. A man who fought for us. He stood with King and Mandela; stood up when it was hard; spoke out when others wouldn’t. His fight outside the ring would cost him his title and his public standing. It would earn him enemies on the left and the right, make him reviled, and nearly send him to jail. But Ali stood his ground. And his victory helped us get used to the America we recognize today.
not a mistake ..white people should b fucking ashamed ..
generations & generations of white-washing...
This pretty much captures what sickens me about the bs coverage going on right now. White people hated Ali.
Ali was on the front lines battling white supremacy. And the coverage has very little dialogue about his activism.
I saw a CaC this morning cut off Jesse Jackson when he pointed out how Ali's thinking & life motivation was spurred by jim crow segregation.
There was no love for him before he got sick. In fact, most of them celebrated it. These cacs controlling the narrative.
RIP to a brave man.
TRUE WARRIOR!

I agree 100%. Black Twitter has been dragging people all day about that "Ali transcended race" mess.
My brother got the picture in poster form for pops back in the day as a Christmas gift. Pops has got it up in the rec/entertainment room.
They don't make men like Mr. Ali no more
Rest In Peace!!!!
Rest In Peace!!!!
Rest in Heaven.
In 1976 the Smithsonian acquired Ali’s boxing gloves and robe, shown here. At the donation ceremony, before a crowd of reporters and cheering spectators, Ali predicted that his Everlast gloves would become “the most famous thing in this building.”
The gloves are currently on display in our Museum of American History’s “American Stories” exhibition.
