Got this weird white lady bobblehead from the game tonight. I get she might have been influential for civil rights and all but it feels weird getting a white lady bobblehead from fucking ben’s chili bowl on MLK day.
I saw it was bobblehead night and thought I would get something cool (a player) I could stick on my desk.

>Ali was born on December 17, 1933, and is of African American and Native American descent. She was raised in rural Virginia and was educated in a segregated school system. She moved with her family to Washington, D.C., in the 1950s.
>After moving to Washington, Ali worked as a teller at Industrial Bank, a historic Black owned business. It was there that she met husband Ben Ali when he visited the bank to deposit money from a local restaurant where he worked.
>Ali and Ben opened Ben’s Chili Bowl on U Street in Washington, D.C., on August 22, 1958. Many famous entertainers frequented the family-run restaurant, in the heart of the Shaw neighborhood. The restaurant became a favorite late-night gathering place for the likes of Duke Ellington, Dinah Washington and Redd Foxx. Martin Luther King Jr., Jesse Jackson, and Stokely Carmichael often ate together at the Chili Bowl.
>During the 1968 Washington, D.C., riots after the death of King, Ali kept the Chili Bowl open at the request of Stokely Carmichael.
>Ali has served on the boards of several organizations, including For Love of Children
Apologize to Ben’s Chili Bowl right fucking now.
Idiot. If you’re too stupid to check whose bobblehead it is before going, you deserve to end up with the bobblehead of someone you don’t have the IQ points to recognize the significance of. Glad to see you deleted your account.
Disrespectful fucker!!!

I’ll take it. The Ali’s are cool as hell
