R.I.P. Muhammad Ali (Born Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr.)

R.I.P What an amazing intelligent man & athlete.

Best SR post EVER. Love all of the tweets. I can't say anything better than what was written above. As a Christian remembering a Muslim, I know we will end up in the same place of Glory. Amen.

I feel heat and my heart races when I see old clips of him and read his quotes. He was some kind of man, made no apologies for anything he said, and he was such an influential humanitarian.

2016 is becoming the year our legends move up even higher than their throne on earth. RIP Mr. Muhammad Ali aka the GOAT to all of our other GOATS. #Salute

? REST IN POWER BROTHER ALI. You were the the definition of a strong ,intelligent black man. You stood your ground and never let THEM knock you off your Square. You legacy will live on for eternity. REST IN POWER BROTHER ALI! ??

G.O.A.T.

R.I.P Muhammed Ali ?

That video is still true, white people really think they face just as many obstacles as us…

RIP as I stated earlier. We lost greatness again.

As far as this post, pic of him and Bill Cosby coulda been skipped. Many pics as there are of this beautiful man.

And I think everyone knows how much how hated his original name.

Shade can't stop for one day mayne. To whomever was crine for this post downstairs, be careful what you ask for here

"Cassius Clay is a name that white people gave to my slave master. Now that I am free, that I don't belong anymore to anyone, that I'm not a slave anymore, I gave back their white name, and I chose a beautiful African one." - Muhammad Ali. Rest In Peace champ.

Not to mention that CLOWN seeking presidency. One of Mr. Ali's LAST public statement was kicking knowledge to HIM in not so settle words. YOU OF ALLL PEOPLE "TWEET"...GO FIGURE?

One of the most telling things about Ali and others of his day was that they were not afraid to suffer for what they believed. Athletes today aren't willing to risk their money, fame, or fortune. Standing up takes a lot of courage, and he was willing to suffer the consequences for truth. My heartfelt condolences sent to his family.

RIP. Loved he never settled.

A TRUE LEGEND. To transcend beyond sports & TO IMPACT THE MANY LIVES AROUND YOU...WITH SUCH INTEGRITY, VALUES & HUMILITY. There WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE YOU. We were BLESSED with your presence & for that simply...THANK YOU, MR. ALI. HEARTFELT CONDOLENCES TO YOUR FAMILY (words CAN'T express the appreciation & gratitude for sharing him with the WORLD) & YOUR VERY NEAR & DEAR CLOSE FRIENDS.

Rip LEGEND

My condolences to his family and may he rest in peace. We are loosing some great people.

Very true!

Rest in peace! The greatest fighter in the world, who stood up for something, because he never fell for anything.

RIP

RIP GOAT #MuhammadAli Thanks for the post Sandra

Come on troops please, this is a RIP post. Don't look at what you think is negative and dog SR on this day during this moment of remembrance. I don't think this man's life story may be appreciated without acknowledging that the was born one name, died another and the story that comes with it. Similar to many leaders, he was so many great things and flawed in between like all of us. He found peace within himself and still stuck to his beliefs. He was great friends with people of many faiths, cultures and races without discrediting his integrity. If you can't remember what name he started with, you may not really appreciate the name he left with. Think about it. Lets be respectful this one time and leave the fukkery for a Monday morning blah post. Happy Weekend.

He really was a hero and spoke out when it was dangerous to do so.

You made me go look, love it??

R.I.P to the greatest of all times.?

If he had his health, Al Sharpton and the likes wouldn't have had a chance...

I am a giant
I am an Eagle
I am a lion
Down in the jungle
I am a marching band
I am the people
I am a helping hand
I am a hero

If anybody asks you who I am, just stand up tall look 'em in the face and say

I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
Hey I made it,
I'm the worlds greatest

ONE OF THE BEST SONGS R KELLY DID ??
RIP to The World's Greatest ??

We're really losing some legends this year whoever said 2016 wasn't done after Prince wasn't lying ?

IN TEARS.

What makes me tear up is seeing how in awe Prince appears to be in Muhammad's presence. I'm sure it was the same the other way around. This image is a powerful peace.

Thanks for sharing that.

R.I.P Muhammad Ali. ???

Truly The Greatest!!!! RIP ALI ????

I remember him how he wanted to be remembered.....job well done Ali! He lived a life that allows him a legacy he can be proud of. He gave us something we can stand and be proud of. A real legend...way more than a sports hero, a hero to my people.

The first time I saw the video above my eyes were wide. I read about Ali before but, I was in awe seeing him in action. The man was beyond intelligent, quick, witty and 100% correct. No filter needed just raw and unconcerned about who he offended. That's real black man right there. I'm waiting for this generation to revere a man like this. That X, Ali,Garvey type of real.

"Hating people because of their color is wrong. And it doesn’t matter which color does the hating. It’s just plain wrong.”-Muhammad Ali

He had so much insight into life and this world we live in....his quotes are inspirational and authentic....FLY TO PARADISE BUTTERFLY!! ?

I'm crying like it was my grandfather ??

May he rest in peace, as a kid I thought he was so handsome. Simply the greatest and he walked with a King too to right some wrongs. RIP

+2 on da blk hand side????

Gosh I love you ? lol hey bewski

My Muslim brother ???? ?????.

Good story

As a Muslim , I think he represented the faith better that anyone , he gets what Islam is about .

I will never forget the day our late King had a day for Ali , nobody went to school , nobody worked , it was a national holiday and we got ( not me ) to see him drive around the city with the King .
Allah irahmak , very sad day .

Mr. Ali was my son's most FAVE ever. He collects posters, t-shirts and books of/about him. This morning I told him CNN was running a special about him, and my kid broke my heart when he said, "I can't watch that Mama." He really was an inspiration to all generations. And this was a beautiful tribute Sandra. Well done.

This pic shattered and uplifted me.

We keep sleeping on the great ones, now all we have is Kanye an jayz . This is why America can't be great again.smh.. people wakeup like prince said sign of the times. Please

it is a sad day for the whole world. Thanks Auntie for the great sendoff.

???

R. Kelly still has me crying when I hear this song bc I always knew one day this song would be sung in remembrance

I agree the person who said this is the best sandrarose post.

Excellent post. Thank you.

Great post with a lot of nice photos. RIP! ??

Muhammad Ali was truly Mr. 1 of 1, definitely like no other. His passion and dedication to the uplifting of his people is/was unparalleled. We lost a great soul, a magnificent BLACK man. I hope generations to come recognize and uplift his legacy. 2016 has been a doozy already and we're only halfway through. ?

Good morning rose garden. I'm going to ask a favor can you'll listen to this? Thank you in advance. I hope everyone's day is goes as you will it.

There are many, just not main stream. The core of a person to speak the truth and not be afraid to speak to truth.

Don't hold your breath. Today's celebrities are motivated by greed. Mohammad Ali said he would never look down on people that look up to him. I don't think it's a celebrity out there that feels the same way.

He was truly amazing??

Mayte posted it on Friday.

Sandra why do you always erase my messages. I'm done with this site.

Very nice! ??

Good 60 Minutes about to come on!

Footage and interviews w/Muhammad Ali & Segment on how the War On Drugs was all wrong (Surprise surprise )?

Reason #574 why I hate pitbulls. They literally pulled the little boy out of his mother's hands and mauled him to death. I think everytime something like this happens, the owner(s) need (s) to be charged.

http://michaelbaisden.com/jurors-cry-court-watching-boy-mauled-death-pitbulls-animals-owner-charged-second-degree-murder/2/

His final photo. To God be the glory. He is now at peace.

Packing and glancing at the tv was supposed to go downtown to watch, but didn't feel like it anywhoo Go Cavs!!!!

That rendition was everything lol.? I love LOVE LOVE Carlos Santana. I had read they were gonna do it and reported to the game by 803. I never turn that early?

Somebody better get it together *rolls eyes* I've finished packing and they still behind.....

Black Twitter saw Carlos Santana trending and had damn near planned his fune. Someone even said RIP. Damn idiots. He just playing National Anthem.

It's summer in NC. Hot AF (got up to 95 today heat index). Storms at night. Humid after. No rain Thursday onward tho. Should be good

Man I'm glad the proceeds for the watch party go to charity or else I'd be pissed. Glad I did not witness this in that high priced arena.

It is and I should be used to it but mannnnnn it hurts to see this repeated year after year after year...still rooting and proud of them but that sucked.

Notes: Shout out to Miss USA. The Cavs are an embarrassment.

Zoe I packed my bags and turned to a Cary Grant movie. Sewwwwwww disappointed

???

Yass Miss DC!!!???. Georgia and Virginia represented too!

G.O.A.T so unapologetic for who he was.

I looked and by 3rd quarter everyone was on the bench. Except Green. He lit they behinds alive last night

I never liked sports as a little girl. Then Ali changed my whole world. Ali Ali Ali!

R.I.P to the G.O.A.T!

It was a bloodbath. Maybe the Cavs will one at home.

Good Morning Roses.!
This post is great Sandra! Appreciate it!
Thanks for all the prayers this weekend was rough.

GOOD MORNING! I READ MIKE TYSON'S POST IN HIS VOICE...:KONA:

LOL. You are too much! His speech was a cautionary tale told to me by my aunt as to why I shouldn't talk baby talk to Lil Butter. I almost died.

RIH Muhammad Ali! That was a handsome man! So were the Jackson's...

Goodt Monday Mornting. *sips coffee* Hope ya'll had a good weekend.

I was the greatest even before I knew I was... Awesome words!
Thanks for this post, Sandra!

DEAD @ 1 Bantu knot. LOL!!!!!

Yes, but not 5 and not 7, but exactly 6 finger waves. LOL!

I PUT THE LITTLE CONE CAP ON TOO...GET OFF MY STOOL! LOL

I DARE NOT! ME AND BABY LOW DO SOME BABY TALK, BUT IT'S MORESO OUR OWN LITTLE LANGUAGE THAN ANYTHING! CONCUR WITH THAT

JERMAINE = SHAWTY LO'S HAIR GOALS LMAO

Well, if they didn't tell him it was cool for him to smash and marry his brother's baby mama, I think it's safe to say, they just let everything ride.

Probably why they letting it ride lol

Please take this down. This is not what I am trying to see this mess early in the morning. Yuck.

GOODT MORNING!
I hope everyone had a good weekend. For those who need it or want it; May God continue to bless you and look over you, guide you and comfort you, give you strength and help you heal. Amen.

Amen. Same to you. Thank you.

If @KIC wouldnt have brung him up *tears*. And the Michael Jackson 30th anniversary special was on last night before the game, and I was watching like poor Jermaine

Thanks for this hun. Hallelujah.

DON'T NAME IT AS SUCH...

That 1 bantu knot kills me everytime.

Jermaine just all around don't give a fugg. Marrying the fam baby mama. Naming kids Jermajesty and Jaafar. Me personally...would have a conversation with Painthead (said like wayne head).

Amen!!!

Wait. Now I knew about Jermajesty. But he has a kid named Jaafar?? Like the villain in Alladin? LOL!!!!!!

Yes ?. His name is Jaafar Jeremiah Jackson

He's the one that filed for divorce. Bruh.

Nick Cannon wants to battle rap for $100,000 which makes me sad. The album White People Party Music ? well...sigh. Now I'm not going to knock this Black man's hustle but his wrapping is...sigh

You said it right wrapping.. he should be wrapping presents for dem babies instead of trying to be in a rap battle that he's going to lose.

Well, that what IS is?? Because if they settled custody and money 2 years ago, what could possibly be the hold up. It's not like they need a story line to drag out ala Khlobacca & Dumbar.

You know how men hate when you move on in general. They especially hate when you upgrade ala Future and CiCi. Nick trying to re-strategize.

I'm a gigolo with a lot of dough. That's the extent of my Nickelodeon knowledge.

She is getting remarried. He trying to get her caught up in some funny biz.

YAS. Roni Rose. She better SAT down. Ayesha not playing.

I'm trying my best today. To be GREAT! Spectacular and Exceptional! Unless someone foils my plan. I would be great everyday if it weren't for this meddling blog ? <---Scooby ?

I just saw it on Instagram. So disrespectful.

...omg what is that hairline..

What motivation? She looks like an ugly Joseline Hernandez meets Katt Stacks.

Sharpie Hairline 101.

That's why I said an UGLY Joseline Hernandez

@sandrarose

Have you seen this:

http://www.thepetitionsite.com/193/873/640/shut-down-lipstick-alley-forever/

Hairline? That ain't never gonna be no hairline.

They bet not shut LSA down. I get my life on that site. With a glass a wine ?.

Me with my Santa Barbara Landing have laughed mighty hard once a quarter to their antics. I LOVE that site.

And her only job of record is the ring girl for some wrestling or MMA or some crap. So you KNOW somebody is hooking her up. She's probably smashing one of the coaches.

I know them seats are at least 10K PLUS. Floor seats were going for 28K.

+1

I binge LSA every so often. I will say, they have some good tea over there. You just have to wade through the mess.

See. That's why I'm thinking coach or someone else in the front office. Crazy.

PREACH!!!!!!!!!!! God works in mysterious ways, cause they would have took him out too. Man he spoke when spoken too!!

"That means KILL EM" - Muhammad Ali
YES!!!!!

He never settled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPEAK!!!!!!!

Is it time for the LHHATL reunion already? Joseline said she has some papers to prove he likes dudes. Idk what kind of papers but I want to see if she pulls him out of her bra like Amina. Lol.

Her daddy some dude name Kirby that sing with a band. Vid shows him singing uptown funk. You do the rest of the of the work. Look at the pic.

I know of a relationship that turned ugly cuzz of that site. LSA reader,,,Was there to read about celebs,,,Stumbled across info on a certain group of celebs, but also saw her child's Father, a promoter, tossed around in that specific stuff that was being said about that group of celebs... Baby...It got ugly...Crazy cuzz she was just there reading prolly like y'all be...Imagine seeing your hubby randomly mentioned...Yeah.

lmbo but why is it halfway down his forehead..

Oh, my...wow. I can't even imagine. That's just...mmmph! Whoa.

According to her mama she a fan of OKC...

According to her page she is all things Golden State and Raiders. I didnt see not ONE pic of her in OKC garb. But OKAY mama

LSA is too overwhelming for me.. I can never find anything good unless someone gives me a link

That's why I said you have to wade through the mess. I found a link that was a thread about the best threads. I found some good links on that thread.

I revisit that Adrienne (then) Williams thread at least once a year. Classic!

BINGO! TY!

She said he gotta loosey goosey booty.

What post was gone in the blink of an eye?

The pic posted of trump with the sausage in his mouth? so disrespectful.

IT'S GOT RESPECK ON IT...:TEA:

Trump said something about Muhammad Ali saying/said more disrespectful things than he does

I've read some good tea over on LSA. You have to have patience & free time tho. ?

I don't know. He was in the pic next to her according to her mama.

LSA done started a thread about the groupie THOT from the game already?

Erykah Badu, Big Boi, Dungeon Family, Goodie Mob, Cee-Lo, Busta Buss, Andra Day, Jazmine Sullivan, Kiiler Mike, Big Gipp, Slimm Cutta Calhoun among others are going to be at One MusicFest in the A this year. Where is VSpot? I'm getting my entire life this year.

It's 21 pages, I'm reading now. Said she messing with someone in the starting 5 with the seats she has ???

Before I let you GOOOOO-OOOOOO-OOOOOO, I will never, never, never, never, never let you go!

Glad y'all enjoyed yourselves. You a good daughter. They came to put on a show!! Great way to start the weekend.

As a child I remember watching a rerun of the famous interview between Ali and Howard Cosell.

Cosell told Ali, “You’re being extremely truculent.” And Ali replied, “Whatever truculent means, if it’s good, I’m that.”

That was one of the first big words I ever looked up in a dictionary.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGWP-_VhrzE

Cassius Clay was named after his father, who was not a slave owner. It was not a slave name. I seriously doubt there was ever a slave owner named Cassius Clay.

They couldn't touch Ali physically nor mentally! lol

He talmbout he'll be 70 years old this year, Lord willing. I'd let him give me worms

Zackly...their original features were fine...Hollywood really got in their heads...

+1

Yep. I hope 3 stacks finds it in his heart to show up and they have an impromptu OutKast reunion. Is Ricco the one who told Fannie she had changed since doing The Idol? LMBO

Link? ?

Some of them Happy Feelins!

Whet?

they tried AND failed

Yes, I'm on page 8. Got slow motions vids of the stare, analyzed her wardrobe and fashion changes from past to present, posted ticket prices of the seats she was in ($26-$32K) and found where she started a hashtag #booboocurry. *faints*

LSA is some internet sleuths for that azz!

New post! Miss USA.

The white is his signature look. ?I'm glad you and Mama Butter enjoyed.

I am putting Dub11 in the bed early and reporting to this as SOON as I CAN with my wine tonight. It will be 45 pages vs 21 by that time lmfaaaaaao. Jesus.

There was one more person that gave them hell too. Richard Pryor. Richard Pryor said to an audience full of white folk at Madison Squares Garden. "Ya'll ain't sheit and you can kiss my black arse.""His friends told him his career was over after he said it but for some reason the white man did nothing. I heard they really did kiss his but lol. Muhammad Ali and Richard Pryor gave them hell. ????

Who is Asha Thompson?

Not sure. She's claiming to be the wife of Klay but as I researched, IDTS.

@But@disqus_z2DvAZ2qjr:disqus wants to be his Silky Soul singer. LOL!

Youse so, sew, sow nassy, Buttah!

A poster said she used to deal with his coke supplier in Atlanta....allegedly. Because of how his voice has declined, I believe it.

LMBO. And "Working Together."

Truly a fine example of a black man... Rest in peace GOAT!
