Yes, I read that much.

Gee, thanks. Very generous of you.

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.
Yes, I know. Many, many whites felt that way, many, many blacks felt that way, but they each came at it from different angles. Perhaps you should read up on the history of segregation in America? Just a thought.

Ah, I see. Hearsay you cannot be sure you remember correctly. Very well, thanks.
You seem to be implicating (correct me if I'm wrong) that what you've said is correcting something I've said and my mistakes are due to lack of knowledge about the history of segregation even though you haven't corrected me in anything there.
I never said many blacks didn't feel this way or whites didn't feel this way or anything like that. I simply said that Muhammad Ali supported the kkk ideals of racial separation while he was under the influence of the Nation of Islam.
There's sources out there that quote Muhammad's father giving his critical opinion of the Nation of Islam and what they did to his son. I'm on my phone so slightly more difficult for me to find copy and paste this stuff but if you're your interested they are easy to find.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
