Who Is the Most Misunderstood Person in History?

Napoleon

School and most countries propaganda made him seem like a bad human but many of the laws he created are still used in over 70 countries today, his military tactics are still studied, a few more I can't remember right now

After all that "Free Boosie" I yelled, and this is how he repays me, by making a clown of himself. :smh:

Southside Hatch just old school mane. Imagine him like your Carribean Uncle Wayan, who has a disdain for batty boi's :lol:.

I think what Boosie was trying to say is the media is exploiting gay culture for a monetary gain. Not really empowering or highliting gay issues, but just casting gay ****** just because. He might have a point. I don't neccaseraly agree with everything he said, but I can see where he's coming from.
 
I think a prime candidate for this thread is Muhammad Ali..

Only because he was so layered, and to this day he's still so polarizing...

Listening to ESPN radio the day he died and it's interesting to hear their varying opinions on the man. Not the athlete, but the man..

Bomani started his show with a beautiful eulogy, you woulda thought a great politician died..and he didn't get to his athletic accomplishments until way down the list of compliments...

The next radio show Ryan rusillo started his show by saying, "it's been 3 days since his death, so I think enough time has passed to say this...Ali was a great fighter, but a draft dodger and a not as great a guy as we think"

Obviously those aren't direct quotes..but What I remember from listening at work that day...I was just at my desk like dam, u can't even fake it outta respect?

We know the TYPE of people that view Ali as a "draft dodger"....
 
The way he talked about and how he treated Joe Frazier was messed up. No wonder Joe hated him.

Yeah. Ali had his faults.

But when people criticize him for "draft dodging", I already know what type of time their on

Facts.

When the draft was relevant he answered the question of why he dodged it eloquently and I'd make the same decision.

Hell do I look like helping to contribute to the wholesale slaughter of foreign people because some multinational corporation or warmongering government is in a trade dispute, staging a shady government coupe, or turns profits off prolonged warfare?

I would renounce my citizenship and move. I will never understand how serving in the military is deified as this choice of great sacrifice.

But im not and never have been a patriot, I just live here.
