Well the way I see it it is, he would'nt be that good a fighter or infact that goodlooking if he was'nt Irish! Very proud to have you Ali. And very proud for you to be the first honorary citizen of Ennis.
Native Irish arrived in America after the famine. 18 years before the end of slavery. Therefore it unlikely that any catholic/native Irish owned slaves. Ali may be a great boxer, but he is no historian and quite ignorant.
@peterjconroy the Ulster Scots and Scotch-Irish are some of the Current Rednecks in the USA with ties to slavery. The Northern Ireland partition area was generally favored and spared by England and some of those came along to America. Yet Ali's ancestors were not among those slave owners.
@peterjconroy There were plenty of Irish there before that you should look it up before you start spouting nonsense. The worst slave owners in Jamaica were Irish.
@nilbud There was comment earlier about making the distinction between planted ulster scotts in Ireland and the Native (catholic) Irish. There was native Irish in the Caribbean, but they themselves were slaves and indentured servants brought to the Caribbean by Cromwell, just like those Irish who were sent to Australia. Check out this on you tube The Black Irish of Montserrat - Irish accents in the Caribbean.
Ps. It is very easy to slate people behind your keyboard. Check your facts first.
Just like Barack Obama black people claim him as his own WHY because he married black women and had kids.no his genetic makeup is what makes him who he is his mother 100% white father 100% black.dont say he's the 1st black president he's the first bi-racial president-OREO
Majority of light skin blacks are mixed I don't give shit anybody says the real blacks are from Africa true black is true African with darker skin.one thing I hate is when black people aka biracial people are afraid to admit they have mixed blood in their genes when you see light skin but yu see some black features your mix.why claim a whole race which you ain't and totally disregard your ancestry.if Ali great grandfather didn't exist Ali would never exist

@ronmatthews mabey irish/americans owned slaves in america but its impossible for a poor irish immigrant to just get off boat and get a slave just because hes white irish immigrants came of the boat half starved dirt poor and were hated by the locals they couldn't even get the worst jobs all the poorest areas in america were filled with irish immigrants and black immigrants ect just like the five points in manhattan irish people in america were the most to marry outside there race google it
@ronmatthews the fact is all irish immigrants in america canada australia WERE POOR the brits oppressed ireland for 800s years we had no rights irish catholic couldn't even own land they had to pay over priced rent to there wealthy landlords in britain and the british removed all irelands food shipments and sold them the irish had to rely on growing potatoes then when the the great famine came the irish had no food since the british removed all the food shipments a million people starvedto death
@ronmatthews during the famine when irish people were starving to death while the brits were laughing even when irish people were caught trying catch fish and feed there dying familys they were jailed or exlied to barbados as slaves so when irish people got on overcrowded boats to america they had fuck all they were the poorest of the poor the only thing they wanted was food for there family not slaves
@ronmatthews anyway how could a poor irish immigrant own a slave do you now the history of irish in america we were shipped over to america as slaves in coffin ships by oliver cromwell we were the first slaves in america. in the 1800s irish people were the poorest white americans we had to flee ireland because the british caused a famine and we neraly all starved to death we couldn't get jobs 'no irish need apply' we were made lived in the poorest slums like the five points in new yprk ect
@michaelcollinslegend my grandmother on my mom's side last name is O'grady, she has dark skin, red brown curly hair and freckles and her mother was the result of rape. As she said many of the Jewish plantation owners hired poor Irishmen many of which left their families back home in Ireland and when they got horny, they took what they wanted (not a insult against the Irish by the way its just life) it happens its human nature, everyone was oppressed at one time
culture is a state of mind. genetics dosn'r make culture. foolish idea that has lead to a shit load of wasted talent on this planet. its all relative iam from dublin, love this country. if someone in america has some affinity to ireland, brilliant. its arrogant and patronizing for some person here to tell someone in america how to describe themselves. embarrassing thing about youtube go to some comments section theres some idiot patronizing the diaspora ALI ABÚ

basically calling his g granddad who was probably some little peasant of the boat from Ireland, who could barely afford to eat, a rapist...how respectful

When menechaim begen and zvipi livni's father were blowing up the king david hotel in jerusalem, that was ok.

I'm also not the only one to have lost family in the troubles. You sound like a west brit, south dublin possibly? I would'nt die for any people but especially the people of ireland. They accepted this crap, now they are going to pay the price. If you accept it, you deserve whats coming to you. Slan!
@MyMadra You must just be extremely ugly buddy sorry. Women in America melt like butter for an Irish accent your probably a loser.Im sorry that your the ugly brother and I dont know many Irish women who like black men either so your brother must be special. Americans are boring and don't have much charisma in my opinion but you entitled to your own opinion.
The reason why a lot of people have some Irish in them is because us Irish men go abroad and charm girls with our accents. I have to admit I'v done it in America a lot. Also Ali didn't know the whole story behind his Irish roots at this time. Ali's great Grandfather was married to his great Grandmother who was free at the time. Ali's charisma definitely comes from his Irish roots, your welcome back here any time kid!
@luke2489 Ha cop on lad, I'm fully Irish, I have a half brother who is half black (we share the same father) and grew up in america with his mother, he is more charismatic than me and has no problem charming women when he's over here in Ireland, by your logic I should be more charismatic because I'm fully Irish and my brothers half irish...hate to break it to you, but most most americans tend to be more charismatic than us, they have the gift of the gab
@MegaTress1 Well every nationality has it's history, but if you want to have an argument lets talk about our countries as they are in modern times, where are you from??
Cromwell wanted to wipe out the Pure Irish Race so he rounded up about 1/2 million Irish Girls & shipped them out to the Caribbean & bread them to Black men in order to destroy their Pure White Irish Blood line. Now the Irish Government is doing the same thing in Ireland. The likes of Common Purpose" & other Race Traitors Marxist groups have infiltrated Ireland & local Government / ICA is infested with them.
@MyMadra Damn your fucking annoying, wtf gives you the right to tell people i they are Irish or not, you little stuck up bitch. If you want to get technical, he is not Irish as a nationality as he doesn't have Irish citizenship, but he has some Irish ancestry and thats what the whole point of this video is, to0 show just how mixed everyone is, we're not all divided by these imaginary lines.
@littleXjack having Irish ancestry doesn't make you Irish...lots of yanks have Irish heritage, they're still yanks at the end of the day. If you are not raised in Ireland you are not Irish, it's as simple as that..you must be one of these yanks who want to be irish, am I right? lol
@MyMadra Wow you missed the point of my comment. Your some sort of fuckin eejit, If anyone wants to identify themselves with the Irish thats fine and doesn't mean that they should be ridiculed for it you egotistical bastard. I bet your one of those self hating irish aren't yeah, the sorts witch seem to love to comment on youtube. Your ma is a fucking madra. lol. I bet you haven't a fucking clue about Ireland. Id prefer a yank that's well educated on Ireland then a self deprecating shit like you.
@littleXjack yes good one, I'm irish yet I havent a clue about ireland..how retarded do you sound..at the end of the day if you're a yank, you're a yank...a yank identifying himself as irish is retarded. I'm not a self hating irish, what I hate is AMERICANS who go around saying they're Irish...you're obviously a but hurt yank who is upset because I wont call you irish lmao
@MyMadra That's like the opposite of nationalism, do you want Ireland to separate itself from the rest of the world where we will continue reproducing with ourselves until our genepool is entirely comprised of down syndrome fuckwits, wich you seem to be the production of. I don't need your validation to consider myself Irish, you egotistical prick. And I don't need gaeilge in my name so that people will understand that I'm Irish either. There is 10 times as many Irish people outside of Ireland..
@littleXjack than the whole population of Ireland itself. An irish-man isn't called Irish because he grew up in Ireland. Ireland is just the home of Irish people. If every body in nigeria moved to France and everybody in France moved to Nigeria, would their genes miraculously reconfigure so that the Nigerians would become A Caucasoid subgroup of the human race and the French turn black??? No. your selfish childish nature is illogical. I'm guessing your one middle-upper class no friend loser,
@littleXjack And even if your logic was correct, would all people who grew up in America be considered native-americans?? If I was a yank, the names of my ancestors, O' Rourke, Lynch, Keogh, Gallagher, and Travers are enough to ensure me that yes as a matter of fact I am ethnically Irish, however not a citizen of Ireland. I would also like to point out that I don't agree with the term African-American, and that every American citizen should be just that, American. Irish-American is just as bad
@littleXjack My man you are right, i'm from ireland and at the end of the day, being irish is about how you are raised. It's not about being from ireland, it's about our culture. I'm from derry city northern Ireland and my 2 uncle's where blown up with their own bombs during the troubles and i guarantee you if it's a competition about being irish, then i'll win.
@doire7 your uncles blew themselfs up with their own bombs and that means your more Irish come on sorry to here that happend them inal but your Irish if your parents are Irish its your bloodline you might not live in Ireland but your family traditions could be Irish it wrecks my head to when some americans claim to be Irish but havent a clue about our culture and think its about hating the english and celebrating paddys day you live in derry what does it say under nationality on your passport ??
@LelandnSonya4eva who'd be jealous to be 100% Irish...I myself am 100% Irish but speaking from a genetic standpoint Ireland is the 4th most inbred country in the world...inbreeding isn't good. Also in saying that us Irish have English blood aswell, nobody can say with all certainty that they're 100% Irish
@MyMadra Ireland isn't the 4th most inbred country in the world ffs, seriously why do people pull these facts out of their asses??? Or did a racist have you believe in these facts, the Irish don't have a large amount of english blood at all. It's the other way around, a quarter of the British population is Irish or has an Irish grandparent. Damn your pretty uneducated for an Irish person, and I don't mean to discriminate religiously but your probably a protestant/ church of Ireland
@seankinsellasean - North Africans are generally not as dark-skinned as the typical sub-saharan African, however; many North-Africans do resemble Mulatto people.
isnt his white ancestors one of the reasons why he changed his name.
When he joined the Nation of Islam he shed his "slave name" (he had been named after a white abolitionist that had freed his slaves) and took on the new name of Muhammad Ali.
He's Black , not Irish, an Irish great great great grandad does not make you Irish as well that's only one ancestor out of millions and millions of others from all over the world, no doubt. You can only be Irish if you were born and culturally bred there.
And Ali described real blacks as blue black is because he have experienced it first hand during the Rumble in the Jungle in what is now, Congo. He must've thought about the people "damn, ur black as hell!"
There is now no doubt that his great-grandfather, Grady, was a white Irishman who left for the US in 1862. He later married a freed African-American slave.
The couple's son, John Grady, had a daughter, Odessa Grady – Ali's mother – in 1917.
I am Anglo\Caribbean & my Great Grandfather was also Irish but nobody was raped & no bad things were done. It just happens that my Mother is British & her Granddad was Southern Irish! Not every Mixed race person can attribute their ethnic background to the abuse of slavery!
@Maxantium true, but even moor was later adopted by berbers cos they live in Morocco, i know certainly in european medieval history blacks in europe were known as moor.
Irish Cassius Clay or Irish Muhammad Ali just does not have the same ring as Irish Jerry Quarry or Irish Sean O'Grady. Ali had a little devil in him ! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
@steel7112 There is no 'pure' anything, black is a colour, not a race, Caucasoid and Negroid are Genotypes and different types of human beings that can be grouped as the same species (obviously) and can be considered of different race.
@Calengela He never said he was Irish moron. He said he has Irish roots and being a mixed mutt is a hella of a lot more fun than being plain like yourself. Hated and proud of it.
@raplover14 are you an idiot, dont talk about something you have no clue about. that was just a little stutter, the only speach defect in parkinsons is losing it all together
I'm black and obviously hate slavery, particularly its continuing effects on the psyche of black people. That's something they have to come to terms with individually, as I have. Funny thing is, how good comes from the worst evil. But for slavery, blacks from North and South America do not exist, are never born. But for Hitler, many people living in Europe, including me, are never born.
Look at the gangs of new york, the wasps bred the irish and blacks by forcing them to stay together they wanted them to kill each other or mix together. Im irish,welsh,and mohawk indian, and in the 1700s my paternal grandfather (dont know how many greats) married a black woman he met when he was operating one of the first freeman organizations just after fighting in the american revolution for the green mountain boys in vermont. today im white as can be, but id rather not be judged on MY color.
I know african slaves had a terrible existence during those days but ali's grandmother grady and ali's grandfather were married. There was no abuse in that family unless you think an irish women abused an african male into marrying her, actually i take that back, that's probably exactly what happened.
@swaaahtome Abe grady was ali's great grandfather and he left ennis co. clare and emigrated to america where he had a daughter who was ali's grandmother who had another daughter(ali's mother).
shut up the lot of ye. irish black build a bridge and get over it. thats how bridges were built in the 1600 by blacks and irish as slaves some fucking troll will say
Forget about boxing for a second I'm a White guy from Stoke on Trent by Manchester I'm
Half welsh and all I can say is I'n my opinion this guy should be honoured like Martin lk and nelson mandella (sorry about spelling) what I am trying to say Is he stood up for black people he made every one think about the past and how were all equal I'n the ring = legend out the ring = inspiration
@topbluffa1 you spend too much time on stormfront. whites where never chattel slaves here. look up the meaning before you spew more lies. you cant cite one white chattel slave and or one black who owned any white chattel slave. pick up your teeth and fade away now.
as Cathyeire said below its a known fact they mixed Irish and black slaves to produce more slaves.
so get the idea out of your head that all white people are guilty and all blacks re innocent because it was black people selling the slaves they was not caught in nets or whatever it is you believe, they was traded for.
they forced their irish slaves and their african slaves to have sex in order to produce more slaves for free
what part of that dont you understand you fucking rude racist.
Ali was saying it as if Irish people was the slave owners they was NOT.
and for your information Africans was the ones Selling AFRICANS to the English where as the Irish was STOLEN or "convicts" which could mean being homeless.
@topbluffa1 the irish and the rest of the whites were indentured servants NOT chattel slaves. yes any black person with an irish last name comes from a person enslaved by an irish person. john mccain was found to come from a family of enslavers. research it.
dont tell me what i fucking already know there was irish slaves they was sold as convicts and they was forced to have sex with African slaves what part of this well documented historical fact dont you get all i sense here is somone trying to claim all the benefits from slavery for their race as if no one else suffered.
do i have to remind you about all the black slave traders selling slaves in africa?
black slaves was offered as a trading commodity by BLACKS.
@topbluffa1 indentured servants for 7 years then free or able to leave and blend into the american society. their names were not taken, their religion was not taken, their language was not taken, they knew where they came from, they were not called animals or 3/5 human...STOP THE BS!
@topbluffa1 my dad was born in the west indies. his grandfather was a chattel slave there. i am 3 generations removed from being an object. not a joking matter.
@topbluffa1 for the most part sure it does. since ~1441 pope nicholas v papal bull dum diversas made any saracens moor enslaveable under european catholic law. since then millions upon millions upon MILLIONS of africans have been born, lived and died to make europens rich or improve white life in general in various levels.
dont forget for every white man buying a slave their was a black man selling him.
the Africans was forced to build things not because they had superior building skills etc it was because it was free labor dont act like us slaves done things they couldn't of done without us that argument is stupid .
slavery is in the bible and the quran stop blaming Europeans.
@topbluffa1 the 'africans sold other africans' idea happened once in african but once over here it went on for generations. plus african slavery wasnt chattel slavery and africa never claimed to be 'tha land of freedom and liberty.' well there were some things that africans knew how to do like grow crops in hot humid climates, trap alligators and inoculate for smallpox. well yeah europeans used the bible to promote chattel slavery.
your blaming the slave buyer more than the slave seller.
do you blame drug users more than drug dealers?
the only difference is white slave owners are more well documented thats IT blacks have owned more slaves and Arabs Definitely.... not to mention marriage in Africa is basically slavery/pedophilia
then shall i mention how a big crime in Africa is raping babies as it is believed to cure HIV?
@topbluffa1 drug addicts are victims slave owners are not. especially in 'the land of freedom and liberty'...your side step attempt wont work. i have dispatched many like you.
His Irish blood was through a marriage and not some white guy abusing a black girl, he wasn't aware of this at the time of the interview.

World boxing champion's ''great gran-paw'' was
Abe Grady, who was born in Turnpike, Ennis, in the famine era and
emigrated to America in the post-Civil War 1860s from Cappa
Harbour, near Kilrush.
He settled in Kentucky, marrying an African-American emancipated
slave. A son from this marriage became the father of Odessa Grady,
Ali's mother, who married Cassius Marcellus Clay Snr in the 1930s.
They settled in Louisville, Kentucky, before their son Cassius Clay Jr
was born in 1942.

Ali's charisma definitely comes from his Irish roots, your welcome back here any time kid!

Cromwell wanted to wipe out the Pure Irish Race so he rounded up about 1/2 million Irish Girls & shipped them out to the Caribbean & bread them to Black men in order to destroy their Pure White Irish Blood line. Now the Irish Government is doing the same thing in Ireland. The likes of Common Purpose" & other Race Traitors Marxist groups have infiltrated Ireland & local Government / ICA is infested with them.

There is now no doubt that his great-grandfather, Grady, was a white Irishman who left for the US in 1862. He later married a freed African-American slave.

I'm black and obviously hate slavery, particularly its continuing effects on the psyche of black people. That's something they have to come to terms with individually, as I have. Funny thing is, how good comes from the worst evil. But for slavery, blacks from North and South America do not exist, are never born. But for Hitler, many people living in Europe, including me, are never born.
