Prince and Muhammad Ali were fantastic role models for kids. The symbol Prince taught kids that by removing letters from your name, you instantly become a Symbol. Kids from all over the world are looking for that perfect symbol to replace their names.

One injected opioid fentanyl while the other came up with the inspiring slogan "It will be a killa... and a chilla... and a thrilla... when I get the gorilla in Manila”

Absolutely stunning words from one of the world's most classiest role models.

Wel, Prince was a junkie, so not crazy about his role mode status.

I would say they were both very talented in their fields but not role models.
Ali hated the country he lived in and bad mouthed it at every turn without pause.
Obviously Prince was an extremely talented musician but also a a drug addict.
Hopefully you are being sarcastic when you say they were, or you really need a better moral compass when it comes to who you look up to.

The lack of black role models for young black males to emulate is a tragedy.

The only people they see escaping the ghetto are athletes and entertainers. So they think that's their only path. But less that 1 in 1000 will make it that way.

The path to building generational wealth is through developing small business that you can mentor and hand down to your children. This has been proven through social and economic studies again and again.

But for some reason the black community does not embrace this. They don't even own or operate the convenience stores or fast food restaurants in their own communities. The East Asians do.

Until the black community in America embraces entrepreneurship and small business ownership as the vector to upward mobility, we will all suffer the consequences.

Ali was awesome.

This was when Muhammad Ali got involved. Even though he had no idea who this guy was or anything about him, he volunteered to go up onto the ledge and talk to him, eventually managing to get him to come down after about 20 minutes of talking.

Neither are African.

They were Americans, if you want to call Ali one.
