I already knew he was having issues communicating as told to me by another troop who was one of his neighbors, so I smiled and said Hi Champ, how are you? I could not make out what he said, so before I got off I turned back and said to both Ali and his smiling assistant "have a great day" both he and his assistance smiled in turn and waved.

This is how life should be, just people having fun and laughter, we're all the same, equal in every way.x

[@Sweeti924]

Why the word equal there?

[@lightworker4512]

@@Sweeti924 saying we’re equal means we are not equal. The key is to see yourself like Muhammad and see yourself not as a victim but as a winner, the greatest. Muhammad worked hard and was dedicated to achieve his dream. Victim mentality will not make equal but inferior. Victor mentality will make you feel like a winner.

Ali came to Kennedy Square in Downtown Detroit to promote his movie. He was dressed in a shirt and tie. He challenged any one in the crowd to hit him. No one could. His speed was just amazing. He must have noticed me watching because as his limo was leaving, he waved to me.

[@trekkie1981]

In the 2000s he came to a small Michigan burb called Novi and was sitting in a hotel. A local approached him and he said they talked for 2 hours about stuff! Such a down to earth guy!

[@koransumant6270]

BAHAHAHAH so true tho. So much is censored despite the fact that poking fun is just as important a tool to bring awareness to problems than any other kind of media. It's so shitty that today's media is trying to separate the "problems" from the comedy. By the end of it we have "peepee poopoo" jokes and everyone's trying to escape the issues of the world that were once joked about to make easier to approach
