One less BLM fan

Most white people thought he was great, and hilarious. Nobody actually cares about some boxer's political musings any more than they care about Pee Wee Herman's or any other entertainers'.

Ali (Clay) was the first, clean, well spoken Negro to be a Boxing icon. Storybook man.

In a wide-ranging 1968 interview with Bud Collins, the storied Boston Globe sports reporter, Ali insisted that it was as unnatural to expect blacks and whites to live together as it would be to expect humans to live with wild animals. “I don’t hate rattlesnakes, I don’t hate tigers — I just know I can’t get along with them,” he said. “I don’t want to try to eat with them or sleep with them.”

Ali was many fine things, but a champion of civil rights wasn’t among them.

Collins asked: “You don’t think that we can ever get along?”

“I know whites and blacks cannot get along; this is nature,” Ali replied. That was why he liked George Wallace, the segregationist Alabama governor who was then running for president.

Collins wasn’t sure he’d heard right. “You like George Wallace?”

“Yes, sir,” said Ali. “I like what he says. He says Negroes shouldn’t force themselves in white neighborhoods, and white people shouldn’t have to move out of the neighborhood just because one Negro comes. Now that makes sense.”

This was not some inexplicable aberration. It reflected a hateful worldview that Ali, as a devotee of Elijah Muhammad and the segregationist Nation of Islam, espoused for years. At one point, he even appeared before a Ku Klux Klan rally. It was “a hell of a scene,” he later boasted — Klansmen with hoods, a burning cross, “and me on the platform,” preaching strict racial separation. “Black people should marry their own women,” Ali declaimed. “Bluebirds with bluebirds, red birds with red birds, pigeons with pigeons, eagles with eagles. God didn’t make no mistake!”

Well you've laid out a good argument with evidence to conclude that Muhammad Ali universally did not agree with white people, and wanted to be separate (in 1968) but you still have not met your burden of proof.

How does that prove that white people universally hated him?

Good, it's about time you won't, most white people I knew in OKC hated, blacks, Mexicans, and anyone different than them.This was the 1960's when Clay wasn't a Muslim but they were sure good for entertainment purposes..But they'd never let them use the front door.

I was born in 1980. You're old.
