Muhammad Ali's ex wife makes her Presidential Election intentions very clear

Legendary boxer Muhammad Ali resonated with millions of people throughout history from many generations due to what he represented to minorities. Every single time he emerged as a human rights champion, Muhammad Ali never disappointed. This is a man who refused to keep feeding the war machine during the Vietnam war and he was locked up for it. To think that his ex wife is supporting partisan politics goes completely against everything that Muhammad Ali represented but here we are. Folks still know her as Belinda Boyd, she was the first wife of Muhammad Ali and she changed her name to Khalilah Ali. She just came out to publicly support former president Donald Trump for the upcoming presidential election.

Muhammad Ali's history with human rights activism

There were many movements in which Muhammad Ali was involved, the most important one was the Human Rights movement from the '1960s that was led by Martin Luther King Jr. During that time, Ali was one of the most prominent figures in sports alongside Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Russell. Ali was a big part of that and he changed the conversation simply for being involved. But he was perhaps the most impactful for refusing to go to war and going to prison for it. There's a Muhammad Ali speech that still goes hard to this day of him explaining why he is refusing to enter the war and kill people he doesn't even know. Nobody will eevr forget that.

Khalilah Ali is endorsing the former president and by doing that she goes completely against raging against the machine as Muhammad Ali did throughout his life. During a recent interview with Shea Filling, Khalilah Ali said: "I'm voting for Trump, I don't care what nobody believes, I don't care what nobody says, I don't care what you think, whatever. I've studied what Trump wants to do. I've studied what Trump wants to make change. I saw what Trump has tried to do. And people who just want to be a hater, they don't get information. A guy asked me the other day, 'Why? Why you voting for Trump?' And I told him why. I gave him five reasons. I stand up and say what I believe in. You don't like it, I don't care. That's me. You got a problem with that, you got a problem with me. I wear my Trump hat every day. I don't care about what you think. Half my family are Democrats. Do I care? No. But we still family."
