I grew up in a all black neighborhood and as a white kid I knew I wasn't liked or wanted around cuz they told me and backed it up by kicking my ass almost daily so it goes both ways...two negatives definitely don't make a positive.
We moved to southern France when I was 12. I'm white and I had blond hair. It was overrun by the middle east. Getting beat when they caught me, but running for my life for four years. We are all the same. In every aspect, only with a different color. We hate and love. That is just what we do. Then I moved home. Five years after moving home mass immigration started happening here. And I was like 👆👆👆👆👆👆👆👆
Me too, grew up next to hud housing complex and my grandfather literally managed the laundromat in front of our house. All the racism I experienced for my first 12, 13 years, it was always black people jumping me, literally telling me I didn't belong, calling me cracker, honkey, go home, leave, w.e. one dude used to hit me everytime he saw me and he was always in a group with his friends. The first two dozen fights I got into I was jumped by at minimum two black people.
This is why I have so much respect for the old black folks that don’t hold grudges. I’m pale, blonde hair and blue eyes. Live in the south. I have an accent. I go into a bunch of peoples houses everyday fixing ac. I can tell when some old black folks are uneasy around me. I get it. But it’s always great to see them relax and open up once they realize I’m not like that. People are just people. We’re all a lot more alike than we’ll ever be different.

Ali also said “If I view the world at 50 the same way I viewed it when I was 20 then I wasted 30 years of my life”. I believe he evolved from this position given his friendships with Billy Crystal and Howard Cossell.
Of course he did. In his older life he denouncedmost if what he espoused in his younger days. There's a reason we only see his early interviews....fits people's narrative better.
He lived in a time of Lynchings and segregation. His approach makes a lot of sense in that time, but as time evolved he had the sense to evolve too people aren’t nearly as racist as they were in that time

The guts and grit it takes to interview such brains. Very few can claim to be successful. Just to sit there in front of him will reduce people to blustering barnacles, forget about asking questions....
Let's not forget that in his time, there were restaurants with only white people and where even as a gold medalist and world champion, they refused to give him a cheese burger. This is how he lived and grew up, being scorned for his skin color, looked down upon for expressing his opinion and the crowds would constantly boo him... I personally think that all the actions they committed against him and other living beings should be counted as crimes, this is harassment and it should be illegal.

Nothin reasonable about greatly exaggerated numbers. MLK was alive and well at this time, and his _actually reasonable opinion_ was very different from this.
@@SnailHatan explain what you think MLK’s opinion was. Let me help you: "First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." - Letter from Birmingham Jail, MLK, 16 April 1963
Even for his time it's a stupid analogy: *10,000* if he said 10, a number around there, I"d understand. But what the fuck did this man see that made him think metaphorically that 10,000 white people would give a flying fuck enough to band together to come kill him?

This is how ppl FEEL. The reality is that there are 1000 snakes of all kinds. Of them 20 want to hate you, 20 want to make sure you're safe, and the rest aren't concerned with you or your wellbeing at all. Most ppl don't concern themselves with others much.
As my father taught me growing up, "Nobody cares, so do what is best for you, what you need to do & concentrate on yourself." He was so right. I wish I would have listened to him earlier bc I could have done so much more for myself.
Such a fantastic speaker. Talking absolute honest common sense, delivered in such a way that no one is offended, in fact, the crowd is behind him with every word and will keep it in their minds and take it with them. Such a natural teacher. But how awful, that a person must feel like this to stay safe....from fellow human beings.
@@vonjay5423 I mean that's literally what white people thought of black people right? "Sure there's some good ones but idk which ones want to kill me" the discrimination against blacks started because white people feared them and made them feel inferior so they didn't have to be afraid of someone who was afraid of them

You realize Africans sold their own people right, and then they only became free thanks to the evolution of western civilization and human rights. It’s not like whites just arrived in a foreign land and began lassoing blacks here and there. But you don’t learn that in school anymore. Meanwhile slavery is still rampant in Africa and Asia to this day while it’s been eradicated in Europe and the Americas. So as far as Africans have been treated in America, I’d say post the abolishment of slavery it’s been better than anywhere else in the world.

When I was little I grew up in Sweden in a small village called skärblacka. The white boys always teased me for my skin color and chased me at recess, the teachers acted like nothing was going on. One day I talked to my dad about it and he tried to talk to the school but they couldn't stop it. My dad decided to teach me how to box and Ali was his idol, we trained almost every day. After a weekend I came back to school, this time I confronted them and I hit the biggest one so he fell. After that they let me be and I could finally concentrate on my studies. But now the teachers suddenly had time to scold me for hitting someone who made my life hell for several weeks, racism starts in the home via the parents. Ali will always be my hero.
It has been my experience that I have never seen bullying handled well in schools. Such a shame because it's a very important life lesson. I guess the lesson is you handle it yourself.

@@justtruth5855 Jesse Jackson made this statement many years after this interview of Ali was made. He was referring to how dangerous life is in big US cities. I lived in chicago during the 80 th. I know exactly what he means. I and everybody I knew had that moment , when you walk from your car or from the bus or L station. My friends, neighbors , co workers and classmates ( white, hispanic, black, asien, latino .....) know that moment. A black friend, a nurse , her husband was so afraid something would happen to his wife walking to the L or bus, he drove her to work or called a cab for her. Once my black neighbor lend me his new mountain bike to drive to class when I was running late. I drove by 5 black boys , kids about 9-11 years old. A kid is usually no danger to an adult. But, all 5 jumbed me at the same moment, threw me , and the bike, on the ground, kicked and beat me at the same time and tried to get the bike.I clung to the bike because it was not mine. The kids picked up some big rocks and tried to hit me on the head. I dodged my head , so they only got me once on the side of my head. Those kids would have killed me , luckily some older black women saw this , run up and chased them away. They helped me up and walked with me till I felt well enough to drive the bike. Once , when I was walking to the bus , it was winter and it was turning dark, I found a man on the sidewalk who had just been robbed. His face was a bloody mess but he was concious.I stayed with him while somebody else went to call the ambulance .He told me, some black kids had jumbed him all at the same time . They had no real weapons but had filled some cans with cement and smashed his face with the cans and took his wallet. The cans were laying next to him, they had dropped them when they ran off.

Tens of 1000's fighting against the police and others who supported a different football team. Then we would take that violence abroad to other countries and fight kill them.

People need to understand context and the times he was living in. Saying this now might be out of line but then it was a means to speak up against racism and unfair treatments to blacks
People need to understand nothing. This had nothing to do with speaking up against racism, this was racism. And if you can't see that, imo you're pretty r.a.c.i.s.t yourself 🤡
@@dorothysimpson7040 It's relevant for anyone, that's why. No matter what color your skin is, someone out there is going to judge you and hate you. Even your supposed own people, sometimes they are even the worst culprits. For example, did you know the "paper bag test" was a metric blacks made and used against other blacks to discriminate with?
But today the current need for racism (for division, privilege, virtue, being unaccountable and pushing blame and victim status) far outweighs the current supply so you have the media and woke trying to perpetuate every little instance like it is the worst it's ever been. In doing this they continue to sow seeds of hate and division as people take on the victim status handed down and act as if they have the oppression of a slave from the 1800's, we will see cycles repeat. They act as all white man are bad and privileged and society is so racist so they raise a generation hating whites. They attack the whites and some of the whites in turn teach their kids all blacks hate you and are bad. You also have the victim status and in turn whites treating blacks like incapable victims who need the white saviours to pull them out of this inflated oppression. These whites are some of the most racist and they don't even see it. It's been used as a tool, a group of useful idiots used to perpetuate a divide. Blacks are as capable as whites and united we are strong but people want the divided states of America and modern tribalism ensues.
I’m old enough to remember….how much “white America “ hated Ali. He was loud… in their face. Draft dodger. He had every right to be racist against white people. They were not nice to him. But he overcame so much…. In the ring and out of the ring. He out lasted the hate and became a loved champion. When he lite the Olympic torch as a shaking elder… I don’t think anyone held back the tears
Well no shit.. muhammad ali live in hardcore racist era.. back then racist was like legal in public. He and everyone else have a right to be racist as well to "defend" themselves.. Not like now
Perhaps some of us are unaware that so-called white people are literally the worst people who have ever lived. I hate white people for what they did and continue to do to Black people and their refusal to return everything they stole from Black people.👊🏿🕎⚔️🏹🌽🪶
People want us to stop talking about the past... Yet, when they look back at the past in a clip like this, they can't seem to separate it from today.. as if he said this today. This is the double edged sword we must handle daily in all aspects of life here
He might had stated that decades ago, but still it's a fact. Well, you need to go to the Legacy museums in Montgomery, AL. Then you'll understand why Blacks have the "victim" mentality. Stop repeating the same old words to justify your ignorant statements and do your research to understand why there still are issues between Blacks and Whites. Open your mind commenters!
@@sabrinabrown4201 There are issues. Today, however, they're not created by one side. Tell me, do you think that the "murder" of George Floyd was racially charged? If yes, do look up Timothy Coffman and think about it again.
The fact he still believed not all white people thought the same about other ethnicities (black people in this case), even though he lived in the segregation era, truly shows what an open minded and kind hearted person he was. He had all the rights of saying what he said, and I’m amazed by the fact that there are people getting mad over his statements. He truly was a king, rest in peace legend.
@Jordan Sharpe can’t quite get what you’re saying there due to lack of punctuation, i think you just called me a white supremacist though (?), which I am far from being.
@Jordan Sharpe ok but what are you so mad about? I just commented about how Ali was a goat and you are telling me I am gaslighting, in what way am I gaslighting? And in what way should I be a white supremacist?
@Jordan Sharpe first off, I really feel like we have drifted in an argument that doesn’t have much to do with my original comment but ok ig. Let me put it down to you: white supremacy is for sure an issue in a community where people of different ethnicities and skin tone cohabitate, and I think we can agree on that. Second, I don’t know any racist people believe it or not, this due to the fact I live in a healthy context where this kind of ideology (racism) is strongly condamned. So yeah, I can confidently say that where I live, “non racist wytes” outnumber racist white people. Now you answer my question, the same as before, wtf makes you so mad about my comment? I feel like you missed its point.
Imagine being bitten by a snake.. but instead of saving yourself from the venom, you just sit there trying to explain to the snake why you didn't deserve that, as it slowly and painfully takes your life away from you. This isn't about a snake.
As an african american who understands this, I can empathize with those who are non black and can see very easily why they'd view us all this way too even when there's so many of us blacks that are nice. If I wasn't black I might be prejudice against blacks too because of the media or the experiences of running across too many bad blacks.
"too many bad blacks??" What does that even mean? You have to realize it's not really about the things black people do, racist whites Hate black people cause of their skin color not how they live, they're much more accepting of Light skin or mixed blacks just like the slavery days the light skin were given much lighter works compared to the darks ones..

Ali also said “If I view the world at 50 the same way I viewed it when I was 20 then I wasted 30 years of my life”. I believe he evolved from this position given his friendships with Billy Crystal and Howard Cossell.
Of course he did. In his older life he denouncedmost if what he espoused in his younger days. There's a reason we only see his early interviews....fits people's narrative better.

Nothin reasonable about greatly exaggerated numbers. MLK was alive and well at this time, and his _actually reasonable opinion_ was very different from this.

@@SnailHatan explain what you think MLK’s opinion was. Let me help you:
"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."
- Letter from Birmingham Jail, MLK, 16 April 1963
200 years ago it was completely reasonable to hold the opinion that slavery is ok.
Even for his time it's a stupid analogy: *10,000* if he said 10, a number around there, I"d understand. But what the fuck did this man see that made him think metaphorically that 10,000 white people would give a flying fuck enough to band together to come kill him?

It's really sad seeing the way people of African descent have been treated in America..
Not only in America.
You realize Africans sold their own people right, and then they only became free thanks to the evolution of western civilization and human rights. It’s not like whites just arrived in a foreign land and began lassoing blacks here and there. But you don’t learn that in school anymore.
Meanwhile slavery is still rampant in Africa and Asia to this day while it’s been eradicated in Europe and the Americas.
So as far as Africans have been treated in America, I’d say post the abolishment of slavery it’s been better than anywhere else in the world.

When I was little I grew up in Sweden in a small village called skärblacka. The white boys always teased me for my skin color and chased me at recess, the teachers acted like nothing was going on. One day I talked to my dad about it and he tried to talk to the school but they couldn't stop it. My dad decided to teach me how to box and Ali was his idol, we trained almost every day. After a weekend I came back to school, this time I confronted them and I hit the biggest one so he fell. After that they let me be and I could finally concentrate on my studies. But now the teachers suddenly had time to scold me for hitting someone who made my life hell for several weeks, racism starts in the home via the parents. Ali will always be my hero.

My friends, neighbors , co workers and classmates ( white, hispanic, black, asien, latino .....) know that moment. A black friend, a nurse , her husband was so afraid something would happen to his wife walking to the L or bus, he drove her to work or called a cab for her.
Once my black neighbor lend me his new mountain bike to drive to class when I was running late. I drove by 5 black boys , kids about 9-11 years old. A kid is usually no danger to an adult. But, all 5 jumbed me at the same moment, threw me , and the bike, on the ground, kicked and beat me at the same time and tried to get the bike.I clung to the bike because it was not mine. The kids picked up some big rocks and tried to hit me on the head. I dodged my head , so they only got me once on the side of my head. Those kids would have killed me , luckily some older black women saw this , run up and chased them away. They helped me up and walked with me till I felt well enough to drive the bike.
Once , when I was walking to the bus , it was winter and it was turning dark, I found a man on the sidewalk who had just been robbed. His face was a bloody mess but he was concious.I stayed with him while somebody else went to call the ambulance .He told me, some black kids had jumbed him all at the same time . They had no real weapons but had filled some cans with cement and smashed his face with the cans and took his wallet. The cans were laying next to him, they had dropped them when they ran off.

Even your supposed own people, sometimes they are even the worst culprits. For example, did you know the "paper bag test" was a metric blacks made and used against other blacks to discriminate with?
But today the current need for racism (for division, privilege, virtue, being unaccountable and pushing blame and victim status) far outweighs the current supply so you have the media and woke trying to perpetuate every little instance like it is the worst it's ever been.
In doing this they continue to sow seeds of hate and division as people take on the victim status handed down and act as if they have the oppression of a slave from the 1800's, we will see cycles repeat. They act as all white man are bad and privileged and society is so racist so they raise a generation hating whites. They attack the whites and some of the whites in turn teach their kids all blacks hate you and are bad. You also have the victim status and in turn whites treating blacks like incapable victims who need the white saviours to pull them out of this inflated oppression. These whites are some of the most racist and they don't even see it.

@Jordan Sharpe first off, I really feel like we have drifted in an argument that doesn’t have much to do with my original comment but ok ig.
Let me put it down to you: white supremacy is for sure an issue in a community where people of different ethnicities and skin tone cohabitate, and I think we can agree on that.
Second, I don’t know any racist people believe it or not, this due to the fact I live in a healthy context where this kind of ideology (racism) is strongly condamned. So yeah, I can confidently say that where I live, “non racist wytes” outnumber racist white people.

@@CrashTestSkater ,ur INSANE
@@TheBeatMafia you realize this clip is decades ago not anywhere now right
When you could speak freely and be loved for it.
A black man nowadays can easily talk like this with a lot of support.
@@QuestionEverything562 unfortunately Europeans cannot, despite it being in our best interests
Nowadays he would have been canceled!!!
@@prettyyoungthingpyt5015 You are so off bruh, like way off....
@@QuestionEverything562 no I'm nor. This cancel culture would have canceled him out. Look what they have been trying to do to Dave Chappelle and other. Where have you been or maybe you don't understand the words "cancel culture "
Very simple analogy easy to understand & he drove the point home Ali was an intellectual his engagement was at another level
We need another Muhammad Ali what a great man
I loved him when I was kid....that was a great time for all sports and the individuals who represented them.
Ya have to feel Ali wow I feel that way with everyone
Y’all need to just start looking at people as individuals rather that group em 🤷🏼♂️
You understand this was when racism was accepted, expected, etc. looking at them as individuals at this time when the majority was racist, they acted the same, etc. your point makes sense but in this case it’s not
Black people will do that when America does that. Until then, why should any black person let their guard down in a majority white space?
Consider how many black folks wind up dead in those situations.
Literally, people dont wanna deal with that. That's the simple reason your words will be ignored and overcomplicated. They need to sweep the toys under the bed instead of cleaning they're room to feel like its less cluttered out of laziness
Man shut up and go google segregation and Jim Crow law… being racist was the norm back in the day
This clip is from a very different era than from now?
Most people HAVE started judging others individually rather than putting them in a certain category by race or gender
As a kid growing up in the seventies, a lot of the adults were out, an out racists, and proud of it.
But whenever Ali come on the TV, they'd always stop and listen.
That man's biggest gift of all, was being able to put you in his shoes.
Ali is cooooollll !!!!
He stood firm in his believe and became a legend.
No he realized Elijah Muhammad was crazy and became tolerant of all people
Thrs more to it than that
It was hard for a famous black man back then. You didn't know if someone was genuinely trying to be your friend, or a snake trying to bite you.
Then…? What about now? Nothing has changed.
@@johnbrowns6072 it hasn't changed much but it has gotten better. If you don't think so, why don't you jump in my DeLoreon and find out? Lol
I grew up in that time, It's getting WORSE NOW!!! IT'S THE SAME!!! EXCEPT THEY'RE WHITEWASHING HISTORY !!!
He speaks the truth on many levels.. Talk brother ✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
That’s how the Palestinians and the Israelis feel at the moment
Now do the reverse with crime stats to back it up 😂
Facts
Lol good point
there were stats back then to back it up too
Crime stats, looting, but if you say it out loud you're the bad guy!
Crime stats.. like the U.S going into Iraq and killing 275,000 innocent civilians? That’s hatred and evil. No black on black poverty related crime could ever compare
I love Ali :) my father met him in person and said he was the kindest man he met.
Slavery dumb truck
i met him in person
Yes, he is Great! My Poppie and he went to school together. He too, has passed. May Blessing Be Upon Them❤️
i have picture walking behind him
Ali was a very smart man and that was the greatest person 💙 he was so funny and very good fighter!!!!
As a white dude today I completely get where hes coming from. That was a different time as well.
A legendary fighter, A fantastic human being. Iam very sure he must be in heaven. God bless
The way he delivered a message to the world 🌎 it's amazing 👏 God bless him ❤️
Hahaaaa....😅😅😅😅😅😅 Grow up😂
@debrabateman6935 what you mean grow up
@@DoubleLV24kWhat he means grow up? He means not to be a racist bigot like Ali and look up to him.
Ali was overrated
That wasn't just a sense of humor, that was also common sense being on full display.
By common sense you mean racism.
@@sirkayda7205 expect for the fact lynchings we’re still happening while he said this
@@cjjackson8309 - Just as gang violence is being perpetrated in Chicago as we discuss this. To put a racial spin on it would leave one ostracized if said by the wrong person
@@sirkayda7205 what do u mean racial spin black people were killed for existing back then
@@cjjackson8309 no they weren't.
Logic and truth wins everyday ❤❤❤😊 Alhamdulillah.
May Allah raise Muhammad Ali status to the highest rank in Paradise. I have seen this video a thousand times but it fails to put a smile on my face.
This is so true on so many levels!!!!
Especially when it comes to choosing an american wife😂😂😂
@@siyonqoba4810what Cassius Clay is saying is he don't want no fat black woman
