Mayweather Jr: "Emanuel Steward is an Uncle Tom"

[SkillspayBills]

no im sorry ancient greeks were not black.......... they were depicted as olive white skin, or really tan... but no they were not black.............. did blacks live in it... yes, but they were a minoirtiy, ****** etc.

"Dr. Lefkowitz and Snowden perpetuate the myth that the only blacks in ancient Europe were ****** or mercenaries. This is false the Greek historical works make it clear that many ancient settlers of the Aegean came from Africa , especially the Garamantes and Pelasgians. G. W. Parker wrote that: "I need not go into details concerning the ethnical relations of the Romans, since they, too are Mediterranean and are closely related to the same African confederation of races ...[situated in Greece]. Aeneas, their mythical founder of Troy. The Aenead, like the Illiad, and Odyssey and all other of the world's great epics, is the poetic story dealing with African people". The heroes of these tales used long shields, the characteristic shields of the Indo-European speaking Greeks were round."

is he right, were they.... you seem like a history major..... i just thought they were white... can you tell me what they were.......

From what I know, they weren't African people persay, but I don't know everything. I'm constantly learning just as everyone else is. With that said, the Greeks are found to have a substantial relatedness to sub-Saharan people, which separate them from other Mediterranean groups. Both Greeks and Ethiopians share quasi-specific DRB1 alleles, such as *0305, *0307, *0411, *0413, *0416, *0417, *0420, *1110, *1112, *1304 and *1310. Genetic distances are closer between Greeks and Ethiopian/sub-Saharan groups than to any other Mediterranean group. Finally, Greeks cluster with Ethiopians/sub-Saharans in both neighbour joining dendrograms and correspondence analyses. The time period when these relationships might have occurred was ancient but uncertain and might be related to the displacement of Egyptian-Ethiopian people living in pharaonic Egypt.

Here`s a vid which shows you books of reference.

and theres books of reference that the greeks where white....

Some of you seriously need to learn how to read. I didn't make any reference to Floyd in my post about Ali, and Sugar Ray. They aren't comparable in the slightest. I pointed out how flawed it was to say the above two were beloved by the media.

You should go back and read the post you responded to in the 1st place.
For the record NOBODY needs to like or support someone who is playing the race card 24/7. The media has no obligation to stick around when an athlete becomes a **** in one way or another. It's asking for a lot to ask the "man" to clap for you while you go around dissing the "man" or acting like a 16 year old jackass. Floyd had the media in his pocket until he became a ****.

I`m talking about the original greeks.Ofcourse today most greeks are white but they was`nt the original inhabitants.

It started out as a black society then later Whites migrated from other parts of Europe to greece and mixed with the black people that was their.

Lemme guess, the Tax Man doesn't like you cause your black either. Or is it maybe that you just owe them money like everybody else. Or let's see, you have been deprived of opportunities also. Gimme a break dude, shut up and fight, or retire and go dance on some other TV show see if anybody misses you.

Don't know why Mayweather is saying this... when Tiger Woods is one of the biggest sports athlete in the world.

Don't know why Mayweather is saying this... when Tiger Woods is one of the biggest sports athlete in the world.

And Tigers Woods has had his name drug through the mud or doing what nearly all professional athletes do. His image was made it to be nigh murderous. Yet Ben Roethlisberger, who's been accused of sexually assaulting a women twice within a year, has gotten a mere slap on the wrist in comparison.

BUMP...That was very disrespectful of Floyd to said because Emanuel has the right to voiced out his opinions. Yes, he's 100% biased when it comes to Floyd, but he has been around the sport longer than Floyd has, and has helped out lots of young fighters. Floyd can be very insecure, but he shouldn't be. Just because someone said or predicted something, it doesn't mean it will happen.

I doubt Mr Ben Roethlisberger (whoever he is??!) has been paid half a billion dollars by corporate America.
