The **** Mentality
So when you got a Floyd Mayweather telling everyone he’s a silverback gorilla? Doesn’t he know the significance in white folks using that name? See **** is not the only name that was used. **** to me means ignorant, and I still don’t use it because to me it didn’t mean a color even though it was used like that.
But when I see high-profile athletes who have the power to guide young fighters watching, who feel they need the Bentleys and to throw money, it’s what I have to deal with to show I’m not ignorant. And that’s whether I’m with Ross Greenburg or other business, I’m no silverback gorilla. To some that’s funny. Some think its good TV. But my mom always said there’s people that laugh with you, and those that laugh at you. My opinion? They laughing at you, dog.
A silverback gorilla is a powerful animal. You’re a n***a with money. And you’re crazy, but a silverback is dominant. So when you say silverback gorilla piss, dog you think that’s kosher? But it is that mentality. Floyd just don’t know his history. He’s blinded by the business thinking that makes you a man. My 17,000 square foot, 6 acre house in Delaware doesn’t make me. That’s not my God. I’m glad to have it, yes. But I don’t worship my cars, watch, clothes, or anything. When you get caught up in that it’s very hard to reprogram it back. http://www.allhiphop.com/stories/lifestylesports/archive/2009/10/08/21967589.aspx

So overall, Bernard really shouldn't have anything to say. They both do ignorant things and say it's to "sell the fight". Golden Boy wants the Mosely-Mayweather fight soooo badddd! And they're willing to do anything to get it.
Am I the only one who didnt think anything of Floyd saying "Gorilla?" The racist aspect of it never entered my mind. I think some people are to fixated on race. I do agree the flashing money shit is retarded, but I get why he does it.
ok beeenard....whatever---
To ignore BHop is to be as ignorant as Floyd...
Bernard is a VERY philisophical man, and the younger generation SHOULD look up to him.. he is a very good example of how to live your life.

"Its the fact that you are referring to yourself as something less than a human." Something people do all the time with no meaning of degrading themselves or others.
"I am the lion," Mayweather shot back.

Oh there goes Floyd again comparing himself to something less then a human.
"Youre just thinking of white people but its still a shameful thing to alot of blacks." I understand that, but its only shameful cause of a label Racist people put on it, and im not worried about what racist people care about.
IDK why you are trying to act like we have no history in this Country. There are alot of negative things that come with the word Ape, Monkey, Gorilla, and so on. A Lion is known for heart. Look man, you know what I mean. Whenever a white person wants to diss a black person, its always something about a monkey or whatever. Look at what they are trying to do with Obama. Trust me, Im the last person to care about what a whte mofo says and race stuff is one of only a couple of things that will set me off but that doesnt mean that some things arent off limits. Again, I can see it from both sides and if you are amongst your people then its ok but on National TV, I just dont want blacks to be portrayed as monkeys, apes, and so on
Rofl, what a bunch of crap from Hopkins. You're telling me this guy fought the establishment in the tradition of the civil rights movement by committing 30 felonies? What are you, Jesse Jackson? Or Al Sharpton? Or another one of those lame ass 'preachers' who show up to every 'injustice' in America and start playing the race card?
Just because Nard has had previous indiscretions himself doesn't make his point any less valid.
Nard earned the right to do so by coming up hard and fighting the establishment in the tradition of the civil rights movement.
Floyd has been a pawn of the system of oppression all along, benefiting from his partnership in it and showing absolute ignorance to the plight of other black folks and people in general with his modern minstrel show act.
i say goddaum ! amen Brotha!!:boxing:
Its not just that. Its the fact that you are refering to yourself as something less than a human. Actually, one of my favorite put downs is to call someone "monkey" but I think you have to say things at the right time and in the right context. IDK if Floyd did that in this case. I feel just like Hopkins. I can see how alot of people laughed about it but I can also see how people get offended. Youre just thinking of white people but its still a shameful thing to alot of blacks. They dont want our own kind reffering to ourselves as animals or anything like that. Im a man

You cringed at the thought of what Racist white people think? Who cares what they think.

Truthfully, I also cringed when Floyd said that Silver Back Gorilla stuff. I said that he shouldnt say that because alot of white people already see blacks as Monkeys and stuff so Im down with Hopkins on that one

B.Hop just schooled the youngin'!!! :lol1:......Floyd is mentally STILL on the plantation pickin' cotton and his dumb ass dont even know it!! :lol1:.....my house, my car, my money....fukk outta here!!.....grow up!!
Hopkins has a good point, I kinda felt that same way when I saw Mayweather talking about being a gorilla. I know Hopkins has made racial comments and looked like a fool when he couldnt back them up. But at least he had more sense than to compare himself to a f*cking gorilla.

I see what Bernard's saying all though his credibility is kind of hurt with the white boy fiasco...
But yea Floyd acts like a you know what but behind closed doors I don't think he is...its really him trying to be and appeal to certain people...
Floyd is not street...
And as far as Floyd carrying money...there's a reason he has those bodyguards...lol

Kinda ironic that hes talking like that on an allhophop site. Where the people who would most likely visit such a site for newz would probably think Floyd was the shit.
Thanks for the coaching on proper behaviour, Bernard:

Boy was that an embarrassing day for black people... Then to top it off he lost
"man my mom can go to hell, she dont know shit about boxing. what has she done for me lately anyway"
I already had much respect to Benard, but it just jump 1000%. At least someone else understands what a douchebag little child floyd is.
