Recently, I've been questioning Floyd's leadership.

As a 20 year old young black man in America, I've been questioning Floyd's leadership the past few months. This isn't about him being a boxer, or a talent, but a figure in the black community. I support him as a fighter, and I've met him before and he's very nice.

But recently with the Donald Sterling situation and now the ****** Biieber situation, he came out defending both of them.

Here w/ Donald Sterling

"Donald Sterling, he was always a respectful gentleman to me, so I don't have anything negative to say about Donald Sterling," Mayweather said. "Sometimes we say things and we can't, we can't take it back."

"I think everybody should just pray for him. And you know he get a better heart, a change of heart."

You don't have anything negative to say about a man who degraded and insulted African Americans and had a plantation like mentality when it comes to his Players/Staff both of which were 80% African American?

And with ****** Bieber, he was caught on camera saying e wanted to join the KKK and that he would kill N*****RS, he responded with

"****** has been nothing but kind to me, my daughters and sons over the years. We all make mistakes when we are young, it’s part of growing up. I am proud of what he’s doing as a 20 year old musician and business man"

No one is saying that he has to berate them, or insult them, but at the very least you shouldn't be defending him. Let the people know that you don't think it's okay.

I need to think twice about how much I support Floyd. I can't tell if he sees black or white or just sees green. One of the things that made me a fan of his was that he wasn't politically correct. He said what needed to be said. It seems like that's changed and all hes concerned with is his pocket. We have enough false leaders in our community and we dont need another one.

If the mods decide to delete this so be it. But it isnt right and I want to make that known.

 

this isnt a pacman/floyd debate. im being serious, its a problem to me.

 

It's not just that. I'm okay with him not berating them, or insulting them. That's fine. But to defend them? And call out what they've done for you? And try to paint them out as good people? It looks like someone who forgot where they've come from. In my opinion.

"Im proud of Bieber"
"Sterling has been nice to me"

What?

 

Ali stood up to an entire government and refused to go to war against his beliefs, an did time in prison for it. You're saying that Floyd can't just speak the truth? Say the right things, and let people know that what's been going on is wrong?

Nah . F--K that.

 

Growing up here, I know the difference. I've had it explained to me as a kid too. We don't use it as a slur, we use it as an understanding that we go through the same things. We've turned a derogatory term to almost a term of endearment. Basically that in a world where we are looked down upon and/or not looked at as equals, me and you are the same. That's the meaning of the word.

And an "ALL BLACK" party doesnt mean no white people. It means to be dressed in all black. No different than an all white party.

 

How'd I contradict myself? Im saying that Floyd should be held accountable. There's no way he shouldn't be able to call out Sterling, or Bieber. It's not right. He should say something about it.
