Muhammad Ali on accepting white people

He was living in the segregation era, so before you talk think about that.

This applies in the reverse as well. With fear we will never overcome.

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.

Nobody has ever had a better ability to see the truth in things, and translate that truth into words, and communicate it to others better than Muhammad Ali!❤

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.

I need to find me a woman that looks at me the way this interviewer looks at Ali…

[mohaafrica]

I know most people don't get his message but for those who are in their 50's and beyond knows exactly what he's talking about.

Ali just described human nature, with all its faults and weaknesses.

[kilariinazuma]

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.

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.

This man had magic in his talk and behaviour, absolutely magical..
Lucky those who could be near him.

[philipstowers]

That was a GREAT analogy. Simple, funny, easy to understand, and absolutely tragic.

[briansindorf]

The key is that he always acknowledged the nuance.

[Ismael-kcry]

He had a great sense of humor and articulated his thoughts on the world around him well. Back when this was recorded this was a completely reasonable opinion to hold, don’t fault him at all for it. RIP legend.

Ali loved everyone. He signed autographs for anybody that wanted one and sometimes would be held up for hours to make sure every single child black or white got an autograph.

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.

[slayer]

Ali always had such a great way of expressing his beliefs and opinions there was never a bad or boring interview with him

[sosacreus]

"They all look alike", I'm legit dead

[grainnemcdonald]

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.
