He was a great boxer who's contributions to the sport cannot be diminished, [cynical curmudgeon] but also a virulent racist who hated America and whites, so I don't really care if he's resting in peace or not.
But I guess it's the American way to ignore the bad about someone if they're good at sports or singing or acting (especially if he's a black Democrat who hates the right people).
He'd have gladly seen most of us here rounded up and put in camps.[/cynical curmudgeon]
People who achieve fame or infamy during their lives will always get more attention when they die than those who didn't. That's just the way it works.
I don't mind the more attention part ... its the adulation from people outside of the Nation of Islam and Black Lives Matters movement that annoys me.Quote:
