On the fourth anniversary of his death, Muhammad Ali\u2019s only biological son says that his father would be against Black Lives Matter, calling the movement \u201cracist\u201d and the protesters \u201cdevils.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The legendary boxer and activist stood up against racism throughout his life, but Muhammad Ali Jr. says his dad would have been sickened by how the protests have turned to violence and looting after the death of George Floyd.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t bust up s\u2013t, don\u2019t trash the place,\u201d he told The Post. \u201cYou can peacefully protest.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018\u2018My father would have said, \u2018They ain\u2019t nothing but devils.\u2019 My father said, \u2018all lives matter.\u2019 I don\u2019t think he\u2019d agree.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of the BLM movement, Ali Jr., a Muslim like his father, said: \u201cI think it\u2019s racist.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not just black lives matter, white lives matter, Chinese lives matter, all lives matter, everybody\u2019s life matters. God loves everyone \u2014 he never singled anyone out. Killing is wrong no matter who it is,\u201d Ali said during an hour-long interview with The Post.<\/span><\/p>\n

On police brutality, Ali defended law enforcement in general.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPolice don\u2019t wake up and think, \u2018I\u2019m going to kill a n\u2014-r today or kill a white man,’\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re just trying to make it back home to their family in one piece.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of Floyd\u2019s killing at the knee of a white Minneapolis police officer, Ali said, \u201cThe officer was wrong with killing that person, but people don\u2019t realize there was more footage than what they showed. The guy resisted arrest, the officer was doing his job, but he used the wrong tactic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He agrees with President Trump that Antifa fomented violence during the Floyd protests and should be labeled a terrorist organization.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re no different from Muslim terrorists. They should all get what they deserve. They\u2019re f\u2013king up businesses, beating up innocent people in the neighborhood, smashing up police stations and shops. They\u2019re terrorists \u2013 they\u2019re terrorizing the community. I agree with the peaceful protests, but the Antifa, they need to kill everyone in that thing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBlack Lives Matter is not a peaceful protest. Antifa never wanted it peaceful. I would take them all out.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

A Father of two, Ali, 47, lives in Hallandale Beach, Florida, and has struggled to make ends meet in recent years working as a landscape gardener and construction worker. He\u2019s previously said he gets only a $1,000 monthly allowance from his father\u2019s estimated $60 million estate.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Greatest\u201d had nine children \u2014 Muhammad Jr., eight daughters and an adopted son, Asaad Amin \u2014 with four wives. Junior was the fourth-born to first wife Belinda Boyd, who converted to Islam and now goes by Khalilah Ali.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the retired champ married his final wife Lonnie Williams in 1986, relations between son and father began to fray and, in the last decade of Ali\u2019s life, completely fell apart. Ali blames his step-mom for the estrangement.<\/span><\/p>\n

While Ali spent his final days at his estate in Scottsdale, Arizona, Ali Jr. lived in a dingy two-bed flat in Englewood on Chicago\u2019s crime-ridden South Side. He split from wife Shaakira shortly after his father\u2019s death on June 3, 2016.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite strong tensions between the black community and the Chicago PD \u2014 especially after 17-year-old Laquan McDonald was shot dead in 2014 by a cop later convicted of murder \u2014 Ali says he was never singled out by cops for his skin color, and defends them against charges of institutional racism.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNot all the police are bad, there\u2019s just a few. There\u2019s a handful of police that are crooked, they should be locked up,\u201d he said. \u201cI never had a bad scene with a cop. They\u2019ve always been nice and protect me. I don\u2019t have a problem with them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
