Cassius Clay became Muhammad Ali (X) and was bigoted and hateful for decades and look at all the money he made.
There certainly is less tolerance for the melanin-challenged bigots, even though every bigot should be treated with an equal amount of disdain.
Close. Cassius Clay announced he was to now be called by his new name, Cassius X, the day following his taking of Sonny Liston’s Heavyweight Title in late Feb. 1964. A very short time later he announced another name change, this one to Muhammad Ali.
After the Israeli victory in the 1967 Six Day War, Cassius Clay briefly changed his name from Muhammad Ali to Morris Steinberg.
