Muhammad Ali's son said his dad wouldn't have supported Black Lives Matter movement or protests over George Floyd's death


Muhammad Ali Jr., the son of the late boxing icon Muhammad Ali, told The New York Post in an hour-long interview that his father wouldn't have supported the Black Lives Matter movement, calling it "racist."

As much as I could not stand that guy, I do agree on that one point.
I'll probably get flak for this- and have even been getting flak from some of my family members- but the way BLM was presented on their original website (I think it's changed, not sure if I can find the original), it's the Black version of White Supremacy.
And I'm not talking about hatred, etc., I'm referring to the way they promoted separation- 'live Black, buy Black, love Black,' etc.
 
I am very surprised that Yahoo printed this.
 

First, I believe Ali would have been up front n this movement. Essential to his greatness was his stance on race. If you ever see the interview with Dick Cavett you might agree. He said to Cavett's face "you are the enemy." Recall his "No Vietnamese ever called me nxxxxx" statement. Last, how is it racist to protest racism?
