Muhammad Ali - Racial Integration

Muhammad Ali talks about racial integration in USA; November 1971 on Parkinson, a British television chat show.

I agree with his views, he was one of the few Black people who didn't seek approval from Whites and was proud of his race. SOMETHING WHITES CAN LEARN. You don't need to keep seeking validation and approval from Black people. You can be proud to be who you are. Nevertheless, if a White person said what he did, he'd be lambasted by the SPLC as a hatemonger.

You have the Freedom of speech. Yet there is polítics and people who slander and attack you for it. Only black people to he honest can talk about their race or any other race and not be slandered. If black people did a public speech riot that the city approved no other race would interfere and let them speak. Yet if KKK did it then they would interfere in it. Now if a speech is not hurting anyone. Why can't white people have a right to a free protest without blacks interfering. The reason why is because the blacks are chasing after whites and being ignorant. This is a invent that can be proven.

Also, the birds he names are different species. Humans are one species.

[@sxbmissive]

Thank you. An intelligent person in the comment section. Finally. To further your point, Some pigeons have white feathers. Some pigeons have brown feathers.

What do You think was happening prior to those years when Ali was growing up, during those years - and still happening around the time of those statements? Racism...who started it? White people...white supremacists foolishly thinking that they're superior to all the Races - but especially Black people. Hell, the government was against Black people with Jim Crow Laws and the like...so Ali wasn't saying anything that he wasn't seeing, experiencing or living. KKK was thriving, white cops beating the life out of Blacks, Black people being killed at random - even CHILDREN - why? For the simple and only reason that they were Black. Ali had the guts to say things how he saw it drawing from what was happening in the society that he was living in at the time. Where and why was JFK killed? Why was his brother Robert killed? Why was Abraham Lincoln killed? Apart from killing Blacks, Whites were even killing their own if they felt that these Presidents were trying to give Blacks equal rights. A common happening then was for Whites to rape their own white women and pin it on a Black man. Do you have any idea of the number of Black men who have been thrown in jail - and died there for crimes against white people that they did not commit? Crimes that White men committed? I could go on and on... So don't you sit here and judge Ali (RIP) by what he was saying without knowing the context and backdrop against which his statements were framed. We're in the 21st century and there are still racial currents running in the US. Do you know of the number of Blacks who have been killed in this century due to skin colour? What they are still experiencing inspite of things looking like it's ok? If you, white boy/man, had to go through what Blacks have experienced, you wouldn't have been around to say, 'idgaf!'

Blacks and Whites alike recognized that this ridiculously naive attempt at forcing integration would actually backfire into profound animosity between the races. (It did.)

The Japanese have a right to stay Japanese, the Nigerians have a right to stay Nigerian, and the English have a right to stay English. Why would you want to 'mix' all the racial/ethnic groups and cultures together if you respect 'diversity'? All that achieves is destroying 'diversity' and making everybody the same. Of course, its Whites in particular who are told they should 'mix' with non-whites and create mixed raced populations to replace ourselves, no other group is forced such propaganda to do this.

Chicanos also tend to clash with real Mexicans at times at work based on who “works better” or the Mexicans be dissing Chicanos if they don’t speak fluent Spanish, etc. Going back to old Mexico, then there’s the rejection of Spain when in reality the culture is actually more Spanish than indigenous. The only thing that remained in the mestizo population from the indigenous ancestry was some of the food, but everything else like music, religion, and language is from Europe or even African.

He's 100% right, I want my children to look like me.

[@RikerLovesWorf]

I want my children to look like my children, regardless of who I have them with. Self centered idiotic racism is all you want.

What guarantee do you have of that? In my opinion, guarantees are for goods and services.

his daughter married a white man they had a mixed race son...his mixed race grandson has to listen to this shite today.

[@farhaanahmed8924]

@@petergleave3198 I don’t know too much but I really hope Ali changed his views. The message he preached in this video is entirely against Islam, and Ali is a devout Muslim. Maybe in the context that he was living in, it would’ve felt as if white and black people were too different to each other to ever feel the love that they’d feel for their own. Perhaps that’s what inspired these views, but times have changed.

[@ts0088]

No he’s not. He’s spreading his believes and ppl eat it up cause he is a ducking legend. That it. Does not make half of it less bullshit.

[@eddx5758]

@@ts0088 your right

[@teggie6853]

Ali's comments reflect both the times and his faith at that time in his life. He softened his views as time went on. But make no mistake, interracial relationships were really challenging then. And let's not kid ourselves, it has it's challenges still.

[@petergreen5337]

He DIDN'T change that is just PROPAGANDA from people USING Ali for THEMSELVES. JUST remember ALI HATED NO ONE. That is FACT. America TRIED to USE him he said NO NO NO..

Blacks were so much suppressed those days that they felt ashamed and would have lost their pride and identity if heroes like Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali had not intervened. Regarding the freedom to speak your heart out; it was even more difficult for a black American (it is even today), but Muhammad Ali was mentally strong too. And risked himself here also. A real champion of boxing, blacks and “others” and a real human being. He indeed continues to be World Champion ❤
