While the world is mourning the death of a legendary black figure in world history, Piers Morgan compared Muhammad Ali to Donald Trump. Unfavorably. On the subject of racism.

Morgan posted a series of tweets asserting that Muhammad Ali was worse than Donald Trump when it comes to “racist” statements:

Muhammad Ali said far more inflammatory/racist things about white people than Donald Trump ever has about Muslims. #fact

Trump was in New York on 9/11 & knew people who died.
Does that count? https://t.co/eF7Lg76Ye7

Reactions:

i find it very strange how obsessed @piersmorgan is with contorting the context of Black reactions to opression from Beyonce to Ali lol

Piers Morgan is a professional troll and a racist hack.
He never trends on Twitter unless it’s off the backs of Black people.
