Muhammad Ali's racist, mosque tirades revealed in new FBI files

Audio By Carbonatix

Newly released FBI files obtained by Judicial Watch shed damning new light on late boxing legend Muhammad Ali’s views about race and politics after becoming a follower of the Nation of Islam.

The hundreds of pages of documents are related to the FBI’s investigation of Ali for evading the draft and the government’s monitoring of the Nation of Islam.

They show, among other things, that Ali referred to Caucasians as “white devils” and “crackers” while speaking to mosque worshipers.

He also stated that he’d rather be with his own people than “blue-eyed devil white people.”

The files clearly contradict Ali’s public image, showing instead what the agency described as a “violent hatred of the white race, Government, law and law enforcement.”
