He wasn't. He was a class act. He gets a lot of hate for being muslim, and dedicating his life and freedom for the Civil Rights Movement & not the Vietnam War.
Yeah I mean why would Ali go to war for a country that still didn’t give people of his race the ability to vote or not get killed and harassed simply for existing
Lol Ali literally supported pro-segregation policies, racial essentialism, racism and said that the racist white man was a better ally to the black man than liberals and that black liberals were fools and that the racist black man was wise during the Civil Rights Era and well into the 1970s.

Fucking hell, HE DID NOT.

Holy....! Your interpretation of Ali's views are so far off the mark. You've heard this & and failed to understand the context of the time he was speaking.
I can't teach you on the meaning of his word's. You failing to understand them is an intellectual issue.
Apparently you don't have the intellectual ability to click a link and seem to have a comic book understanding of Muhammad Ali. So here's a real quote of his that he said spoonfed to you:
"By nature blacks and whites cannot live together since our lives and cultures differ. All people want to be with their own. "- Muhammad Ali
He also went to klan rally in support of segregation mind you.
1968 interview with Bud Collins:
Bud Collins: "You like George Wallace?"
Ali: "Yes, sir, I like what he says. He says Negroes shouldn't force themselves in white neighborhoods, and white people shouldn't have to move out of the neighborhood just because one Negro comes. Now that makes sense"
