- Muhammad Ali Jr., the son of the late boxing icon Muhammad Ali, told The New York Post in an hour-long interview that his father wouldn't have supported the Black Lives Matter movement, calling it "racist."
- Ali,  who died aged 74 in 2016 as a result of complications of Parkinsons'  disease, was a known activist who in 1964 joined the Malcolm X-led  Nation of Islam.
- Ali Jr. said he believed his father  would've supported the "all lives matter" movement, and thought the  legendary boxer would've believed current protestors were "nothing but  devils" after some demonstrations have turned destructive.
- He said he supported President Trump and believed his father would have, too.
Muhammad  Ali Jr. said he did not believe his father would have supported the  current Black Lives Matter movement, calling participants in the  movement "racist," 
The New York Post reported Saturday. 
"I  think it's racist," Ali Jr., the legendary boxer's only biological son  whose relationship with his father "completely fell apart" in the final  decade of his life, said, according to the report.
He  added: "It's not just Black lives matter, white lives matter, Chinese  lives matter, all lives matter, everybody's life matters. God loves  everyone — he never singled anyone out. Killing is wrong no matter who  it is."
''My father would have said, 'They ain't nothing but  devils," Ali Jr, 47, told The New York Post. "My father said, 'all lives  matter.' I don't think he'd agree."
Ali Jr. pointed toward some  of the more destructive actions of some protestors in recent weeks as  part of his own dissatisfaction with the Black Lives Matter movement. 
While  some protests — particularly early on — turned destructive, many of the  still ongoing demonstrations have remained peaceful.
"Black Lives Matter is not a peaceful protest. Antifa never wanted it peaceful. I would take them all out," Ali Jr. said.
"It's  a racial statement," he said of Black Lives Matter. "It's pitting black  people against everyone else. It starts racial things to happen; I hate  that."
In 2016, 
Ali's most famous child, television personality and retired boxer Laila Ali, made similar statement, saying, "All lives matter."
"Yes,  Black lives matter. Yes, white lives matter, asian lives matter. All  lives matter," the boxing world champion said. "And that's kind of what  my focus is."
On Wednesday, Ali told 
KTLA she thought it was a "shame" that Black Americans were still fighting to secure the same things her father supported.
"His  grandsons are even having to fight two generations later, but we're  going to keep at it because it's all about equality for Black people and  all people," she said.
Nationwide protests against police brutality began following the 
police killing of 46-year-old George Floyd in Minneapolis.  A since-fired police officer was recorded kneeling on Floyd's neck for  more than eight minutes while he said he couldn't breathe and even after  he lost consciousness. Three other officers have also been fired from  the Minneapolis Police Department. All four have been charged for their  involvement.  
"Don't bust up s–t, don't trash the place," Ali Jr. told The Post. "You can peacefully protest."
As 
NPR  noted, his father, the legendary late boxer often nicknamed "The  Greatest," was a known activist, notably making headlines in 1967 for  his refusal to be inducted into the U.S. Army in 1967 citing his  opposition to the Vietnam War, his religious beliefs, and his identity  as a Black Muslim.
In 1964, Ali, born Cassius Clay, joined the  Malcolm X-led Nation of Islam and changed his name to Muhammad Ali to  rid himself of his "slave name."
In an hour-long interview with  the news outlet, Ali Jr. defended the police and said they "don't wake  up and think, 'I'm going to kill a n----r today or kill a white man."
"I  never had a bad scene with a cop. They've always been nice and protect  me. I don't have a problem with them," he told The New York Post. 
While he said the former Minneapolis Police Officer should not have killed Floyd, he said there was more to the story. 
"The  officer was wrong with killing that person, but people don't 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," he said,  adding he believed that 
antifa, the leaderless decentralized group of left-wing activists,  had been responsible for turning protests violent and that he agreed  with the president that they should be classified as terrorist groups. 
Ali Jr. said he believed his father would have supported President Trump.
