So, the next time there's a "prayers needed" thread here for a cousin twice removed, members should first check voting records before lifting up the recipient? A wife lost a husband and daughter - and three more children are without a dad and sister. Let's stick to that narrative.

Truth is it has little to do with how he voted or if he diddled someone. Little to do if he made a living being a sports icon. Mostly it has to do that he was born black and was successful beyond what most can imagine. Black and was respected for his athletic abilities. Black and had the ability to communicate on a higher level than most of his distractors. Black and he laughed in the face of racism. It mostly about him being black.
