When Michael Lerner (I won't call him Rabbi because of his dubious private ordination without attending a seminary) a 60s radical leader of SDS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Lerner_(rabbi) said in the beginning of his rant that he was speaking for all Jews.

This slime bag does not speak for me, and I hope not for you!

Louisville, KY - Reform Rabbi Fires Up Crowd Ali's Memorial Service

He was a total embarrassment and a fraud, turning a dignified memorial service for The Greatest into a radical idealist rant!

Michael Lerner speaks for me so much more than many others claiming to speak for the Jewish people.

Furthermore, if you think that his "radical idealist rant" was uncoupled from who Muhammed Ali was, then you're grossly mistaken. His speech was entirely appropriate for Ali's memorial service, which was exactly why Ali choose him.
