If I were black in the America of the 60s, you bet your lily-white ass I'd have a passport and plane ticket as soon as I could save up for it. You can say a lot about my mother, but you can't say she raised a fool.
I don't know. I said Muhammad Ali said he agreed with the kkk and did a speech for them.
It's your choice if you want to criticise him or not,
Although he isn't just talking about himself staying away from white people, he's talking about it as a policy. He believed that no white people would want non white children, no black people should have non black children and that interracial breeding was wrong in general.
Also I'm sure I remember hearing that his family and girlfriends were of the opinion he was just brainwashed and intimidated by the Nation of Islam at the time and were critical of his opinions.
I honestly didn't know that. Hmm.
