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

[El_Forklift]

I voted Ali since all the masses that he captured... But Joe is better but not that famous...

I'm still curious though about the white to black ratio of the poll.

I voted for joe louis but then again I'm a white person

Bro colour doesn't mean ****!

You know who is a good role model for black people, human beings that are doing right in the world.

Absolutely dude. People trying to make separations based on color is ****ing stuff up.

Actually friend color means an awful lot especially to those that haven't been white. Things aren't as simple as you want them to be, granted I wish the world were this simple but it isn't. The fact is the color of one's skin makes a difference from how one is accepted, to what kind of justice you receive, or how much money you can make.

I'm not angered by this is fact, it is what it is, but to deny it, to act as if "white privilege" is a delusion of Louis C.K. is amazingly naive. I chose the figure that meant the most to me as an African American and stated as much.

Joe Louis was a credit to his race, the human race.

And my ethnicity matters not considering both were African Americans anyway.

I'm white and I voted Louis.

But I'm not an American

A Role Model is defined based on personal beliefs. But it is painfully obvious that Joe Louis was a much better and kinder human being than the man named Muhammad Ali.

Wait...you're telling me that you DON'T like Ali?

I firmly believe that Ali was being used by the NoI. He was their greatest tool. As great as a fighter he was, Elijah Muhammad took his hand, crammed it up Ali's ass and worked him like a puppet for most of his career. And he wasnt very nice either.
