      If you haven't already, please consider reading Ali's autobiography. He was such an intelligent, compassionate, and talented individual.

      Ali's father, Cassius Clay Sr., was named after Cassius Marcellus Clay—a white abolitionist. He named his son Cassius Clay Jr.

      White people LOVED telling Ali how he was named after one of the greatest whites ever: an abolitionist and personal friend of Abe Lincoln.

      So Ali started researching Cassius Marcellus Clay; found Clay's writings indicated he thought the white race was scientifically superior.

      Ali started showing that to his white teachers. They were embarrassed that they didn't even know what they were talking about.

      Ali didn't want to be a associated with Clay who, as he put it, "had gotten rid of his slaves, but held on to white supremacy."

      So how did he choose a new name? Who was Muhammad Ali named after? Read "The Greatest: My Own Story" and find out.

      Muhammad Ali was black. Muhammad Ali was Muslim. Muhammad Ali was radical.

          "Ali belonged to everyone." Yeah, no. That's beyond offensive. Only people who know nothing about him would claim this.

          To write that Ali, a black Muslim who spoke and wrote so eloquently against being owned somehow "belongs" to you? Nah.

          Ali's death illustrates the unbearable whiteness of black sports writing. From lefty magazines to the New Yorker to the newspaper of record.

          that's offensive to his legacy. EVERYTHING he did was in the spirit of being a BLACK MUSLIM.
