Ever since I discovered Muhammad Ali betrayed Malcolm X - the man who gave him his identity - so Elijah Muhammad could impregnate little girls, Ali's displays of pride don't impress anymore. He's just another cultist, who lorded his power over - not only an innocent man - but, probably, the best black man America's ever produced. And he did it just because he could.
I no longer see anything, in Muhammad Ali, to be proud of.
Just thought of him last week. Malcom X was true and pretty amazing.
