Muhammad Ali: Politically Incorrect Quotes

The Media’s Saint of the Diversity Religion was anything but

When Muhammad Ali announced that he would not fight in Viet Nam because, "No Viet Cong ever called me nigger" I could see the genius in what he said. In those seven words he furnished every black man in America a credible reason not to submit to conscription. Our first reaction was to hope that some NASCAR driver up for the draft in North Carolina would refuse because, "No Viet Cong ever called me a redneck" (back in the 1960s "redneck" was a term of abuse, not a proud signifier as it is today).

Ali was no kind of politically correct person but due to the Establishment media's well-known tactic of omission, his c.v. has been airbrushed and he's been remade into a certified saint of the Diversity Religion. Journalist Jim Goad has penned the best antidote to the falsification by excavating some choice quotes from the boxing champion (our personal favorite is this clip):

"Because we live in an era much weaker and more sensitive than it was during Ali’s prime, his death is being eulogized with the sort of solemn, sanctimony-addled, weak-tea, low-T, hagiographic twaddle we’ve come to expect from neutered zombie bloggers on antidepressants. Just as mainstream history has Photoshopped all the warts off Nelson Mandela and MLK, Ali is now strictly framed as an inspirational figure who “spoke out against racism.” (Certainly they don’t mean the time he condemned interracial sex before a cheering crowd of Klansmen?) 

From 1964 to 1980, Clay/Ali gifted the world with a string of spectacularly insensitive comments that would get any modern white man socially exiled to Pluto: 

“Integration is wrong. The white people don’t want integration. I don’t believe in forcing it….” —1964 interview with the Louisville Courier-Journal 

“Every intelligent person wants his child to look like him. I’m sad because I [don’t] want to blot out my race and lose my beautiful identity? Chinese love Chinese—they love their little slanted-eyed, pretty brown-skinned babies. Pakistanis love their culture. Jewish people love their culture. Lots of Catholics don’t want to marry nothing but Catholics, they want their religion to stay the same. Who want to spot up yourself and kill your race? You're a hater of your people if you don’t want to stay who you are.” —1971 BBC interview with the portentously named Michael Parkinson 

“A black man should be killed if he’s messing with a white woman. And white men have always done that….And not just white men—black men, too. We will kill you, and the brothers who don’t kill you will get their behinds whipped and probably get killed themselves if they let it happen and don’t do nothin’ about it.” 

—1975 interview with Playboy

“You know the entire power structure is Zionist. They control America; they control the world.” —1980 interview with India Today 

At the 1960 Rome Olympics, Ali told a reporter: “To me, the U.S.A. is still the best country in the world, counting yours. It may be hard to eat sometimes, but anyhow I ain’t fighting alligators and living in a mud hut.”

Debating the History of White Enslavement

Across the pond a brouhaha has developed in the Irish media over popular books which assert that either the Irish were once chattel slaves, or that many white nations, including the Irish suffered enslavement.

The volumes under fire include To Hell or Barbados: The Ethnic Cleansing of Ireland, by Sean O’Callaghan, and this writer’s book, They Were White and They Were Slaves.

Those who have taken up the mission of upholding the court historians’ Establishment dogma are Liam Hogan, an Irish librarian, Laura McAtackney, an associate professor of Sustainable Heritage Management  at Århus University,  Denmark, and Matthew Connor Reilly, a postdoctoral fellow in archaeology at Brown University. McAtackney recently admitted on social media that she has not read my book. Hogan appears to have read at least parts of it, describing it as follows: "The most influential book to claim that there was ‘white slavery’ in Colonial America was Michael Hoffman’s They Were White and They Were Slaves: The Untold History of the Enslavement of Whites in Early America. 

For more than a year articles attempting to deny the chronicle of the enslavement of white people have appeared in history magazines, websites and most recently the Irish Times newspaper.

The insistence that the entire epoch of brutal white bondage never happened —  from the thralls of the Vikings to the villeinage of Anglo-Saxon England and the massive kid-nabbing operations which criminalized and abducted young white paupers in 17th century Britain and swept them onto ships for bondage unto death in the West Indies and British America — is one of the myths necessary to the maintenance of the current system of things, in particular the crushing psychic disorder of white guilt. Covered up in part by means of the imposition of the misleading “indentured servant” euphemism for all cases of white bondage, it continues to demand irrational obeisance in colleges and universities and the mainstream media. 

Enter Jim Goad

Mr. Goad is the indefatigable journalist who wrote The Red Neck Manifesto. He is currently a columnist for Taki’s Magazine, an online weekly. He has chosen to give this writer, in an extensive interview which appears here, the opportunity to refute the deniers. I hope you will take the time to peruse the interview and publicize it.
