What is Floyd Mayweather talking about?

Wow you obviously never studied history. Its been well documented that Europeans bought African slaves from west African slave traders.

Look into any historical academic scholarly journal on the subject and you will find it.

You can start with Wikipedia, under "source of slaves"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_slave_trade

 

Excellent post. And although I don't agree with you about me being a racist, your points are well taken. If anyone believes it or not, around half of my friends are black. This thread was about mayweather and his silly poser ghetto wannabe statements. I simply pointed out that in todays society being ghetto and thug is just the flavor of the week. A silly image people try to use to be more popular and tough looking, aka mayweather. The majority of the rap/hip hop lifestyle is the most fake **** I have ever seen. People always try to play the race card when they don't like what they hear or someone's opinion. But remember one thing, I didn't bring up race.

 

This is also speculation, and you could also read history journals which refute it.

For the sake of convenciece, I again refer you to Wikipedia: the bottom of the page under "Alternative Origin Speculations" where its says that this theory is not considered credible by the vast majority of researchers on the subject.

God... if ever anyone was SOOOOO deserving of a smack in the mouth? It I YOU MY LITTLE ***** TIME!!


First, 2 Pretty made the cave reference about WHITES you ****ing moron, so STFU!!

American Indians were the indigenous people in North America, regardless of cultures that had trancended to this continent previously. Besides, who gives a **** and what exactly does that have to do with RACISM or slavery in america??:rofl

Honestly, i didnt read enough of the thread to ee who brought up what and maybe you arent racist, but you're posts in this thread could easily be interpreted as such. Hence, I understand Too Pretty objecting and countering.

Yet, often times those discussuions just turn downright ugly. I give you credit for responding and trying to clarify.

One of the things I learned about life through boxing? Is there IS NO COLOR when the bell rings. Witness Champions of eery race, creed, color, and religion. Whats INSIDE will always be more important.

 

Vietnam went through the same thing...and then some..they got bombed flat!

..now they're prospering ...a developing industrial and tourist friendly country...

so whats your point?

Heres my point... Floyds a great boxer but hes got it good...very good.....nothing wrong with having it good

 

once again wikipedia is not a scholarly source:roll: you can try and asuage your guilt but the white slave trade was a brutal and demonic undertaking profited for and by white people. :deal so trying to revise history and spread the guilt is a typical tactic used by apologists for racists:deal

and the olmec civilization is not speculation the monuments and statues are still there:deal and will remain as a testament to the greatness of african people's here in the america's pre-spain.:deal

 

You have accused me of being an apoligist for racists. I challenge you to find a post which I have made which substantiates this claim. In fact, look about 10 posts above, in which I challenge Badger's comments, and then call me a racist. :deal

You are sticking by your claim that the slave trade was done exclusively by Europeans and only for the profit of Europeans. Its not just Wikipedia, the academia as a whole has documented that West African slave traders (black) sold black slaves. Like C Money said, both Europeans and Africans profited from it.

And to your Olmec theory, I suggest you research it more. As a theory it is under legitimate dispute, as I told you before. Perhaps one day it will be proven correct, but as of now the majority of historians in that field refute it.

 

I'm not saying you are bro:nono I was A:trying to squash a racial flame war and B: just cautioning you that when you play the same game? Sometimes you're statements can be taken out of context. I.E. the caves ****. There are black groups such as the nation of Islam that have just as BOGUS and propaganda filed views as the KKK and others.

I didnt take it as YOU felt that way. I was just trying to look out and help you be heard, rather than transcend into statments that would PREVENT many from hearing you. When you read about Malcolm X in the end he realized that same truth.

BRA... I told ya a long time ago, I've been through it all racially, and its ALL ****ED. I hear ya many blacks were BRUTALLY and SHAMEFULLY wronged by slavery, but whats always got me is in the end? It isnt one culture to blame for it. Whites, indians, blacks, whatever, there will always be HUMANS looking to exploit and profit from other HUMANS.
You're people were sold to those assholes by YOU're OWN PEOPLE in many cases.

 

:deal

wrong ******* the people you call indians did not call themselves that:deal now please explain how the olmec statues got to the americas if "indians" where the first people in the america's:deal

talk about ignorant..so you admit africans where here in the America's first, but that doesn't matter because you don't acknowledge it:blood get a clue you no knowledge ignorant son-of-a-*****:deal

if you don't give a **** why are you responding. you stupid bich ass spadafora nuthugger:deal

no one can be dumber than you, the ***** ass who thinks a 5 weight champ ducked a fringe titleholder in spadafora for the simple reason spadafora is white. how many fringe titleholders have floyd passed by in his career. yet you harp on spadafora like he was some type of real champion. spadafora was never recognised as a real champion in his entire career..live with it:deal

so once the africans sold the slaves to the europeans that excuses what happened to them once the europeans got hold of them. is this some racist stormfront logic. you don't have a clue as to how the slave trade got started and the main financiers of slave trading.

please explain why slave trading was so profitable in europe who raided villages to meet the demand for slaves. name one great african state that grew rich and profitable during the western slave trade.

don't worry I'll wait:deal

and a white cornball racist doesn't know his own people's history:deal

 

..

 

lying *******. name one african nation that profited from the slave trade. how did america and europe become so wealthy during the 16th-19th centuries. they had free labor stolen from africa.

provide proof that africans profited from the slave trade *******, you can't because it didn't happen. what did happen was that after the slave trade colonialism was the next european adventure. you are an ignorant ****er to the highest degree:deal

 

C money is right though. Just like with life, whatever happend, happend. You got to take it in stride and do you and move on.

 

STFU you stupid ****!!!


I'm not racist, was sticking upfor Too pretty's assertions other than the "caves" BS and you dont know ****!!!

WTF did the olmecs or any other people who might have landed in North America have to do with the slave trade as it was in America?? It's absolutely IRRELEVANt who was here first Hell the vikings were likely here beforehand as well, SO THE **** WHAT!! Only a know nothing clown like you could try to sprinkle in some **** that has nothing to do with aything and then use it as a crutch for you're "superior" intellect.

Before they got ship loads of blacks many sold by their own people over here, they used INDIANS, WHITES, and whtever. Given the time period the were considered FARMING EQUIPMENT to those slave traders and masters counting a BOTTOM LINE:yep

I'm against all of it and spoke UP AGAINST it but I'm loaded with guilt and racist??
