I'm a HUGE fan of El Hajj Malik El Shabazz (aka Malcolm X), along with John Brown, Andrew Jackson, William Tecumseh Sherman and a scant few others, they are historical figures I highly respect.
There's even a charcoal picture I did from one of his photos, he was a great influence on my life and reading "The Autobiography Of Malcolm X" during high school helped turn me the right way in some things. I even re-read it about a year ago, still an awesome book to read, even if Mr. Shabazz exagerrated his accounts to deter his folk from doing what he did.
In spite of the racism that Mr. Shabazz originally pushed, he learned true brotherhood later on, and abandoned those ideals and tried to correct his life.
Cassius Clay (aka "Muhammad Ali") stepped in to Shabazz's life during this strife, and used him as a stepping stone to make himself popular, and the minute he won the fight that made him famous, back stabbed Shabazz while the Nation Of Islam was trying to kill him.
So I cannot tell you how happy it makes me, that the career he so valued so highly as to use another human being, much less an AWESOME human being as a stepping stone...
...has destroyed him.
Mr. Shabazz used his mind to help his people, he risked his life on a constant basis to improve their life. He was a hero.
Clay just hit people. He's just a loser athlete. Loser because only losers pull stunts like that.
This is the kind of death a backstabber like Ali deserves. It's been lingering for years, I'm glad to see that the progression has been SLOW, and DEEP.

In a nutshell parkinsens is eating him alive, he's alive, but he's dead. He deserves this in spades. This is the hell he earned by participating in the destruction of one of America's best minds, and large civil rights influences.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
*Spit on Cassius, who isn't even a real muslim to begin with, he's just a fake*
