      Yes! That was so true! Muhammad Ali said "I'm black and I'm pretty"

    People.. this was so needed to be heard and eulogized about this shared dimension between Muhammad Ali and the African American people and the larger American people. I thank you for addressing it, Dr. Kevin Cosby. Might I humbly day that was another spectacular deep wise and powerful speech. I loved the horse in the mud metaphor.
    FYI, this recognition is coming from a Muslim Persian-Arab Emirati man. Because Muhammad Ali and We, drink from The same *Fountain of the Nur and Love of the Prophet Muhammad (SAAWS)

    Great speech .. !!but with no mention of Islam ..?! No mention of MA words about message of peace .. unity .. consisity and fairness of Islam ..?!Ardogan was prevented to give few words .. why ..?!Just to please the American politicians .. and to avoid any link between Islam and peace giving to all humans ..Thanks Dr. Kevin ..!!

    • @montyb12
      @montyb12 Před 8 lety +4

      So only you and Ken W. Wimpson found something negative about the speech. Islam was well represented at this funeral by numerous speakers, and rightfully so. Come on brother. This was a memorial to honor the legacy of the Champ. Not a PR campaign to promote Islam, which I highly respect. Stop it.

    • @TheMercifulAndJust
      @TheMercifulAndJust Před 8 lety +2

      You are box minded to understand that this person spoke of the dimension of Mohammed Ali that he and the black community shared aND what the American people share.. . Secondly, this was who Ali was. Please open up that box mind and understand. This aspect of Muhammad Ali needed to be heard and eulogized.

    we're all property of Allah s.w.t, doctor. and you can not be a product of just one race when you're growing up in a multi race society in which you're a minority, doctor. even the majority is influenced by the minority. In fact the majority and the minorities are greatly influenced by one individual who is a property and the product of Allah s.w.t.

    This was great! I was raised Christian but more and more I'm starting to think that Christianity is just another white mans thing. So I get confused by why so many Black people (my ppl, if you're wondering) still submit to a white mans religion at the same time as honoring the Great man Ali was. Just my thoughts.
