To call what Floyd does "coon-like" either is sprung from self-hatred or ignorance. Mayweather flaunts no differently than others that flaunt, but because he's black it's now "coon-like"? Do you know what a coon is and what they consist of?
If Floyd Is Sooo Rich

Your numbers are way to high...that number of black males is much lower than that.
As a black man,I know very few other black men who frequent strip clubs.
As for Oscar,I have never seen him tossing money in the air...all about image.I stand by what I said about Floyd.
Who said I was talking about black males? I said AMERICAN MALES. You just said him making it rain on strippers makes him coon-like!? Do you know how many people have been to a strip club at least once? Do you know what the word coon was derived from? It amazes me the words some people spew out without true knowledge of it's meaning.Comment

Your entire premise is based on stereotypes so I see that it is ignorance which compels you.Your numbers are way to high...that number of black males is much lower than that.

^Hahaha! Who cares? It is an American luxury, available to all who has money to spend and isn't illegal to do nor racially discriminatory. "Tossing" money in the air, money that he (not you) worked hard to attain, says less about Floyd and more about the fools who complain about it. As has been noted, if Floyd does more good than bad (and I'm not sure what he does publicly that's so bad), then why focus on the negative aspects and give them undue weight? It makes no sense and I think people are just following the hate bandwagon now and really have no justified reason to spew this type of venom.Comment

We all have our own definitions of coon....mine is anyone who paints a negative picture of black people,anyone who hurts us or our image.
And Floyd with his 'newly to money' attitude paints a picture as a fool with money.I can take his arrogance,which is great...but he comes across as a self-centered clown with money.
As for self-hatred...speak for yourself.Comment

Sorry, no redefining a well layed out term that has been around for decades due to convenience of a position. It isn't true that "we all have our own definitions" since the word was a label directly imposed on black people in general. You're calling another black male a Coon for nothing. How sorry are you? You may be a passive racist who is actually white because you don't strike me as a knowledgeable brotha. You must hate yourself and your own skin.
So it only applies to black people? You perpetuate the myth that only black people are coons, just as how only black people are N-words, etc.. You hurt us more than Floyd does if you want to get to the truth.mine is anyone who paints a negative picture of black people,anyone who hurts us or our image.
I'd rather "make it rain" than sell out like you do..
No, he paints a picture of someone who never had money and is trying to learn how to deal with that fact that he now does.And Floyd with his 'newly to money' attitude paints a picture as a fool with money.
Of course, unless you're insecure..I can take his arrogance,which is great...
You don't have to like his personality, since he isn't your girlfriend.but he comes across as a self-centered clown with money.
I've addressed your self-hatred above; been there, done that.As for self-hatred...speak for yourself.

That's the problem with people like you...we can't have a difference of opinion without you tossing insults.
Let us agree to disagree...e'nuff of you.Comment

I never said that I did, but why is this relevant to my initial observation?
People like who? "Black coons"?That's the problem with people like you...
Did I really insult you or give you constructive criticism? I didn't call you out of your name did I? Don't be so sensitive please, be a man..we can't have a difference of opinion without you tossing insults.
Be a man, kid!!!Let us agree to disagree...e'nuff of you.Comment

It has nothing to do he is stating that what you are saying is doing more harm to the black community than anything Floyd has done so far. You called another black man a "coon". You seem a like a knowledgable human being and I think you should now what the REAL definition of a "coon" is, or not considering you just used in a manner that totally did not fit anything Floyd did yesterday.Last edited by SkillspayBills; 09-11-2007, 06:11 PM.Comment
