Muhammad Ali interviewed by Michael Parkinson 1971

[smallpotatoes989]

that is bullshit. in africa when there was rumble in the jungle their dictatior killed thousands of people just before th atack.

[ImpecuniousMe571]

Parkinson is the last name of the interviewer. Funny how that works out.

[badboybaldy1]

SOME PEOPLE CAN JUST NOT TAKE THE TRUTH AMEN ALI ...WELL SAID BLESS

[snkammar]

i have it on cd ill try my best to upload it for you

[GrassyKnollTrolls]

Ali said some of the wisest words he ever spoke in this interview about race & racial integration, it's obvious that the multi-cultural agenda was already in play by the interviewers PC reply.

Also the reason UK cops didn't need guns was cuz there wasn't the massive immigration of today. Almost all violent crimes in US & UK are black on white. In '05, 36k white women were raped by blacks, while "0" black womn were raped by whites. U can Google "FBI stats on black on white crime" & check.

[shingitheduke]

@GrassyKnollTrolls have you checked out the stats on white on black crime? or are you just another one sided, finger pointing, self righteous racist? blame everything on immigration but fail to mention the millions of british pple who live in the same countries those immigrants come out of?

MASHALLAH MASHALLAH

[ehmonja]

Muhammad Ali is a Sunni Muslim now. He was a follower of nation of islam at this time

[thegreatrommel]

Muhammad gather cotton

[sabah2177]

Underestimating Ali would be the BIGGEST mistake one could have ever done ...

Parkinson had a good experience

[trueblue374]

Ali suffers from Parkinsons disease while Parkinson suffered from Ali disease

[nids091]

this is inspiring

[RPM11111]

Christianity doesn't teach racism - only some of the professing Christians.

Classic case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

[1966RWB]

I also didn't realize slavery and corruption were exclusively American.

[1966RWB]

I didn't realize all of Africa spoke Arabic.

[Stigmableedingblack]

I wish Ali would have KO'd that fucking clown.

What an absolute piece of trash that white bitch is.

[booopdooop]

It's interesting how he tells the story about being refused his order in a restaurant because of his colour but then goes on to talk up segregation. It's a little hypocritical if i do say so myself.

[Netertaat]

@booopdooop wen black ppl talk about "segregation"like in his case,its more so doing for self than HATE & being prejudice & unrighteous towards ppl.If a person of another race were to walk in we wudnt say shyt like "we dont serve whites/asians,etc"wen he spoke of black ppl doing for self he was speaking of the idea of blacks having their own businesses own & ran by them just like the asians,etc do,so that no1 can tell u,u cant buy frm here becuz of ur skin.This story just proved his VERY POINT.

[Netertaat]

@booopdooop if blacks were so tired of being mistreated,not being allowed 2 use bathrooms,etc then y not start ur own thing instead of begging ppl who obviously dont want u there?Y beg wen u can build?begging is a sign of LAZINESS.When something is failing,like in the case of his story of a restaurant not serving u becuz ur a negro,we have no choice but to consider the choice of segregation-not in the same hateful manner,but so that no black person will ever have 2 face racism like that.

[booopdooop]

@Netertaat but racial segregation enables racism to breed noticeably more and promotes social indifference.

[Netertaat]

@booopdooop only if the ppl are illogical savages who feel the need 2 mistreat ppl becuz of their differences!What was wrong with white americas segregation law was that it was based on hate,NOT equality-the "I am better than u"moto rather than doing for self & still getting along with others.I can go to a predominant Asian area in my city & not feel threatened becuz even though everything is owned by them they are civilized & not hateful.I can still support their businesses & its all good!

[Netertaat]

@booopdooop its called ECONOMICS.Black ppl dont really have any self owned businesses thus y if u go to a predominant black neighborhood it turns into a damn ghetto,but wen I go to asian neighborhoods,not only are they beautiful but all the businesses are owned by them!black ppl have no economics therefore not only is our neighborhoods mashed up BUT the lack of economics makes us turn to crimes so our neighborhoods turn into war zones.

[michaelyouth]

@booopdooop He is just saying he doesnt go anywhere where he is not wanted anymore..

[forzalarobur]

what cunts those restaurant workers were.

[PrinceAAAA]

@forzalarobur yh man :/

[scoppy80]

@forzalarobur , the was back in the days. But I like your question though.

[AceKing2012]

@ScottishNonBeliever Religion is the product of the cultures surrounding it that shaped it. Don't be angry that he worships God in a form that he is most accustomed to...It's when you condemn another religion based on the superiority of your own that it is not productive for God.....Ali said in one interview that all religions that praise one God are worshiping the same God.

[dhanoasanam]

i like Muhammad Ali but he is wrong about some stuff he is talking about! seems like he's been brainwashed himself! do agree with some parts though.....

[AceKing2012]

@dhanoasanam Point out if he lied or if he was wrong about something.....

[dhanoasanam]

i like Muhammad Ali but wrong about some stuff. and i'm not white or racist!

[sheyon1000]

@dhanoasanam he didnt hate on other racist to call him racist if u eman that,he just loves his culture and race and taht should apply to whites too.

[iconzero]

Was he suggesting that the soul has a skin tone? Shit, did I miss a meeting?

[SomeWhiteDude2]

interviewed by Michael Parkinson and later got Parkinson's disease go figure?

[mohammadshukri]

Indeed

[dhjn4214]

I see how Muhammad Ali got a parkinson's disease.....

[ilovekolx]

I love Muhammed and I always thought he was smart but I don't really agree with him here, but I'm still drawn to him and I just have to listen.

[ilovekolx]

@ModellStJames111 Oh I know, Barack is just sitting in the White House playing xbox all the time.

SHUT THE FUCK UP.

[ramzevans]

@ModellStJames111 no, no black person ever saved a life in the armed forces, fire department, no black person ever solved a crime as a detective and taken anyone dangerous off the street, no black person has ever inspired anyone with words, no black person has made any contribution to music, or culture.

Sorry for the sarcasm, but... are you on crack?

[TheBrandond20]

@ModellStJames111 take a look in the mirror and ask yourself what have you done for your country let alone the world you say black people haven't done anything go such the web i'm certain you will find something.

[kojimapie]

@ModellStJames111 and whats your contribution?

[TheBrandond20]

@kojimapie what yours?

[kojimapie]

@TheBrandond20 mine is being kind to folk who i happen to me throughout my life, opening door's for people, smiling when i pass a stranger on the street and what-not. My point was, before you criticize other people for their contribution's for society you should name yours, otherwise it gives me reason to believe you have none.

[Icarnkthat]

We don't Serve Negroes

I don't eat them either

[Caron3Butler]

@cherrysweetable LOL I hope you have some VERY GOOD attorneys. No judge or jury would EVER prosecute Muhammad Ali, especially for kicking a dumb tool's ass. You CAN win a boxing match without the media, but he chose NOT too. He got into every single one of his opponents minds, go ask them yourselves. I hope you know how LITTLE you really are. Albert Einstein himself was a man of RELIGION. The list of intellectual men who followed religion is endless.

[Caron3Butler]

@cherrysweetable Who are YOU to call my religion stupid? I'm not sitting here and bashing you for being an atheist. People like you will never change, they will never even TRY to understand ones religion or culture. No, his REAL name is Muhammad Ali, Cassius Clay is his SLAVE name. I would love for you to call him Cassius Clay to his face, even at age 70 with Parkinson's he would STILL be able shut your loud ass up. He was a LOUD MOUTH so he could get into his opponents heads. Fucking douche.

[Caron3Butler]

@cherrysweetable I'm a bird brain? You didn't even give a definitive answer. All you said was 'Shaking up the world, u bird-brain.' and then stopped. He didn't inspire millions? Are you fucking kidding me? Get your head out of your ass.

Not end of story. You are an UNEDUCATED prick who thinks he knows everything. God damn people like you make me sick. You can't even spell the QUR'AN* right. I'm a Muslim, and I accept everyone. So your theory is FALSE.

[Caron3Butler]

@cherrysweetable I don't understand where you get your facts from. Arabs 'sometimes' discriminate against NON-MUSLIM blacks. And when Ali refers to blacks, he refers to the MUSLIM-BLACKS. He himself was a racist towards christian-blacks. Muslim people NEVER discriminate towards other Muslim people, it never happens. By your previous comments, I can tell you're not a fan of Ali. Ali wasn't all that great? If you think inspiring millions and shaking up the world isn't great, than nothing is.

[MrsFreshMorning]

They dont make them like they used to, he was in a league of his own literally

[yordanosi]

@ScottishNonBeliever youre a non believer . i respect that

so respect him for taking his religion serious

[yordanosi]

please show us the whole interview

thumbs up if you agree

[paolovf]

I don't like his views on separatism

[GoldRing09]

@paolovf

I'm not in favor of separatism neither, but I can see where he's coming from.

[thesambas]

the two dislikes are the waitress and manager of that racist bar, actually naw b/c they dead....but its their grandchildren lol

[troyceo]

@thesambas - LMAO!!

[mrmikespence1964]

[peacemaker571]

[brokencountry123]

Ironically, the fear of losing your heritage/identity that he spoke of is exactly why racism exists - it's a defense mechanism to protect your culture from invaders. Think of those terrible people who built the Great Wall of China, their civilization survived for thousands of years. The Chinese will always have their: ethnicity, language, food, architecture, music, religion, etc. Americans will only feel shame for trying to keep their culture alive. All civilizations started brutally.

[omcxe]

@brokencountry123 what culture did americans try to protect? They stole their land from indians and pupulated the country by pure force and brought black people there with them. So black people are in america from the begining so they are a part of culture to. In america, there is no culture. And that is their culture. Mix of cultures at one place.

[yordanosi]

wow

does anybody have the whole interview?

[jaggerhasabigsti]

Ali mobe aye !

[hopelesscasewtf]

@jaggerhasabigsti ALI BUMA YE...
