Black Twitter claps back

4:00 PMAs the world continues to mourn the death of Muhammad Ali, some have taken to Twitter to express disappointment in the makeup of Ali’s interfaith memorial service at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky, on Friday.

Former president Bill Clinton, actor Billy Crystal, Sen. Orrin Hatch and sportscaster Bryant Gumbel are all scheduled to deliver eulogies at the service.

Though Ali himself chose who would speak, push back on social media has surrounded the fact that three white men and only one black man will speak at the service, which will memorialize to the public one of the most influential African-American figures in the history of this country.

How do Bill Clinton & Billy Crystal speak at Muhammad Ali's funeral? The family says those were Allah's wishes but I don't buy that at all

Neither Bill Clinton or Billy Crystal had anything good to say about Muhammad Ali when he was alive so what right do they have now?

#Rulesofracism: When Muhammad Ali dies, more white celebrities speak at his funeral than black ones

Muhammad Ali was my second cousin by marriage and from my hometown. I wish more black men could speak at his funeral

When I die, 99% of so-called leaders and 95% of so-called preachers/ministers will NOT be allowed to preach my funeral or deliver my eulogy.

Is it really fair to criticize the men Ali wanted to pay tribute to him based upon their race? This way of thinking seems to arise from as limited view of the man Ali was. We should remember Ali not only as the outspoken man who used sports as a platform to speak out about racism, but also for his accepting nature. He acknowledged that “not all white people are racist.”
