Just finished watching the documentary "Joe Louis-America's Hero betrayed" and it got me thinking who was the better role model for black people Louis or Ali.

Who was a better role model for Black people? Louis or Ali

I never understood why people had to qualify things - especially role models - like that. Honestly, a role model is a role model, white or black. If someone doesn't qualify as a role model for a white kid, he probably doesn't qualify for black kids, either. But if you're asking me who's a better role model, the obvious choice is Louis. Ali was kind of a prick.

I think governments around the world would rather have nations full Louis clones rather than Ali clones. Not saying that's a good thing.

Louis is a better role model for people of any race.
Ali did become a better role model as he got older though. He apologized for a lot of the statements he made and realized he was just a young angry black kid who hated the world at the time.
