Hmmm but he didn't really have a "god-complex" , when he was young he had that cocky boxing entertainment persona, but he was humble and kind at the same time, it's kinda funny... this is what his daughter said last year 

 

“It’s funny because even in that silence his message is profound, that perseverance and strength, he doesn’t feel sorry for himself, he continues to inspire people with the way he deals with his illness, and unfortunately stories come out in the press sometimes, a lot of people aren’t around my father that much so they don’t know, like strangers that see him will say he doesn’t look as good, because they’re always watching him in old films and what not.

“He doesn’t have regrets, he always tells us people thought he was superman, but God gave him Parkinson’s to show everyone he’s just a man like everyone else. But he is extraordinary in the way he handles things, because most people don’t know how to take on these things in life, he just came that way, just more special.

... if people really want to know how he is, then study Parkinson’s, he’s had it for 30 years, he’s done really well with it, he’s done a lot of good, just like in boxing he raises awareness and research, he has handled everything with so much dignity, and just like he was optimistic about his career and his boxing, he was the same way with the disease, I told him I hope I never get a disease, but I know how to handle it because of you. He’s so graceful, he has no regrets.”

They said Ali had no regrets about the way he lived his life, and that he believed God gave him Parkinson’s disease to show him who the greatest really is.

Muhammad Ali was alive in a time where he was denied service at a "whites-only" restaurant, when people were fighting for civil rights, when he was denied a drink at a store because of his color. People would go to his fights just in hopes of watching a black man get beat. 

So excuse me if I don't get upset when he has a negative view of white people and says something about them that truthfully is really rude.

When a group of people calls you "******" and insists members of your community be hung from trees, when your government is run by people who debate whether or not you deserve rights, and when your societal system is built on treating you as a lesser individual then yeah- you're going to have a negative opinion about the race that represents and carries on those problems. 

Now, some of the things Ali said about white people is a gross generalization and wrong. But it's important to consider context when determining why on earth he might hold those feelings. 

Back then he believed white people and black people should not marry, which is such a wrong and immoral viewpoint to have, in my opinion. But his reasoning is probably rooted in the belief that he felt a white person would not respect a black spouse. Nowadays if he said that it'd be totally ridiculous, but back then I can understand his fear.

It's good for someone to remind everyone that they're mourning for someone who they'd be dragging to hell and back if they knew this when he was still alive. Same with Bowie and his criminal sexual behavior, and Amy and her blatant drug abuse etc. that's always magically justified or actively forgotten whenever they die.

Everyone knew about Amy's drug abuse when she was alive, didn't stop anyone from viewing her as an incredible artist

And it shouldn't.

But her death was the perfect opportunity to spread awareness about how terrible drug addiction and abuse and eating disorders are, and instead people painted her as a victim of the press, almost completely covering up her history of physical and mental problems, which isn't 100% wrong, but it's just ridiculous that people don't want to just say the obvious: this girl drank herself to death and her bulimia was a major part of that.

Besides, do you remember how many people ridiculed Amy because of her antics and abuse? That all magically faded, that's what I was really referring to. In any case, I'm not saying the legacy of these artists should be tainted, but it's just extremely hypocritical of people to act like simple information about someone is "disgraceful" to bring up just because that person died, especially when such information would have sparked very different opinions if they were still alive.
