"In 1964, a young boxer named Cassius Clay ("the Louisville Lip") won an upset victory over Sonny Liston.
Later that year, Clay changed his name from Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr. to Cassius X, then to Muhammad Ali.
Ali initially joined the nation of Islam (promoting "the Honorable" Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X) and refusing to be drafted into the Vietnam War.
In interviews, Ali said that he changed his name because "Clay was a white name" and "a slave name," while "Muhammad" and "Ali" weren't.
Ali eventually left the Nation of Islam and became an orthodox Sunni Muslim, though still later he became a Sufi.
Following his death in 2016, Ali had a Muslim funeral and an Islamic prayer service.
Oddly enough, Muslim sources say that Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, was white, and that both he and his son-in-law Ali owned black slaves.
Even more strange, Muhammad Ali was originally named after Cassius Marcellus Clay, the nineteenth-century Kentucky abolitionist who helped convince Abraham Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.
Hence, the greatest heavyweight boxer of all time was deceived by Islam.
In this video, David Wood discusses how Muslim preachers took advantage of Ali's ignorance of his own history and of the history of Islam."
Mohammed was the whitest white man of all time, and he owned black slaves.
--- Yet African - Americans, and other Africans think that Mohammed is the fried of Africans???
The guy who kidnapped Clay’s ancestor grand-daddy from West Africa and sold him into slavery was probably named Mohammed or Ali
Good point. And these people want reparations?
Let them collect from muzzies.
His parents were unhappy with his conversion.
Could never stand Ali. My Dad couldn’t stand him and now I see why. Joe Frazier.....class and a patriot.
He was sucker-punched.
Black people are 95% for the party of slave owners, it only makes sense they should be a part of the slave capturers and sellers as well
BTW, David Wood has a series now about Mohammed's racism.
His last video received a strike and was taken down, but I suggest anyone concerned about this sharia-compliant censorship contact those at YT.
“Float like a hammer,
Stung by a ‘ray
I made a big mistake
When I dropped the name Clay” !!!
“Thank God My Granddaddy Got On That Boat!”
Ali was a moron.
EVERY muslim is deceived by Islam.
Allah is the Great Deceiver (Satan)
It’s even in their book.

That's why the Liberals and DemoRATS are so involved in re-writing history,
and tearing down Confederate statues
They want to keep the masses asleep, and NOT "awoke".
The true organizers of slavery, and those who benefited financially ,
were the Muslim Africans who took captives(permitted religiously)
and then sold them into slavery(permitted religiously).
Ali was deceived by his own ignorance and arrogance...
...was originally named after Cassius Marcellus Clay, the nineteenth-century Kentucky abolitionist who helped convince Abraham Lincoln to issue the Emancipation Proclamation.
Thanks fishtank.
Sonny Liston was forced to lay down and elevate the Mouth to champion by the money men. Fortunately for them Sonny cooperated by overdosing so the real truth will never be known.
You had to have watched as Howard Cosell tried to figure out which arm Liston said was injured, it was hilarious. Soon though he actually converted to a Clay believer, money talks in any language.
