Muhammad Ali on Phil Donahue: "You don't like a n***ger talking like this.”

Описание: In 1974, one month after knocking out Joe Frazier in the infamous "Thrilla in Manila" world championship fight, Ali made an appearance on the Phil Donahue Show, where he answered questions from a mostly white audience on his Islamic faith, boxing career and retirement plans.

In resurfaced footage, the then-32-year-old boxer shoots down a white woman who criticized his "arrogance.”

Ali replies: “Listen, woman. Everybody black watching this show knows why you don't like the way I'm talking. You don't like it when a n**ger talking to you like this. N**gers never talk to you like this before. Don't tell me what you don't like. You don't know who you're talking to. I don't care about what you don't like. This is about people liking to see me get my butt whooped.”

WOMAN: Listen, I'm in the minority in this country.

ALI: You're a minority. What minority are you?

WOMAN: I'm from England.

ALI: Oh, you're a minority! You're from England! You own England and America. You're white. You can go to any city you want. Oh, you're from England. You're more freer than me. You're from England. Didn't you say you're the minority? You know you can go to towns, move in neighborhoods, you can buy things, you can open a business in downtown Chicago and do business. And I can't do it, but you're from England! So you got some nerve to come back and be mad at me because I'm proud and I want to fight and be confident and get my people to be proud and fight. We in the minority too. We've been a minority for 400 years, and you're freer than me, and you're from England.
