Ali nipping white privilege in the bud.

But you're willing to throw what you have away to be a martyr. Nobody's gonna volunteer to be that after achieving everything they wanted for them and their families unless you truly believe you're there to serve a bigger purpose than sports. Athletes who make more money than Ali ever saw just want to enjoy their life and their people around there. Remember this is the age of the Brand. You're not just looking out for yourself
Ali was crucified then but the difference is he had the unwavering support of the black community. If say a Lebron got up and talked like that today, the very first people to shyt on and shame him would be other black people. These days black women(and some black men) would agree with the white women that he shut down. There is no support for black athletes who want to stand up and speak truth to power because we've sold out as a community.
he's said statements like that plenty of times
get this nikka dikk out your mouth, nikkaz find anything to complain about with this nikka, if flloyd was ali's skin tone you c00ns would get in line
It even seemed like white folks didn't get offended quite as easily back then like they do today. Some of those white folks were sittin' there in the audience like![]()

I read about this when I picked up his autobiography from 1975 recently, I was also pleasantly surprised about him calling out guys like Wilt Chamberlain for one-upping white women while talking down on black women. Talking about how can you disrespect your mom, sis, ect. like that, a guy can date whoever but don't diss your own in the process.but did cats know that Ali turned down major film roles which became big blaxploitation hits? Ali shytted on sammy davis jnuior and sidney poiter..the much loved actors of that era ..
The Ali biography by Thomas hauser that came out in the 90s was a great read tooI read about this when I picked up his autobiography from 1975 recently, I was also pleasantly surprised about him calling out guys like Wilt Chamberlain for one-upping white women while talking down on black women.
