Mayweather Jr: "Emanuel Steward is an Uncle Tom"

[Steak]

I always thought that the connotation they put in the term today would be a kin to saying that this (black)person is sucking up to whites and loses his identity.

I know, I get the insult behind it.

I just dont get why the character Uncle Tom ended up being the figurehead for the insult. He didnt 'suck up' to white people.

ah well, people are strange.

Outside the ring Ali actually made a social difference helping African-Americans and supporting the Nation of Islam with Malcolm X. He protested against the Vietnam War and because of it was stripped of his title and put in Prison. He was known throughout the globe as the best heavyweight boxer of his time and almost everyone knew his name.

What does Floyd Jr. do outside the ring? ***** and moan, then get his car repo'd while throwing the money he owes the IRS at the television camera.

Ali ran his mouth, but at least what came out was actually intelligent.

When did Ali go to prison? If you didn't know Ali called Frazier an Uncle Tom.
All your personal spew at FMJ is just that; something you have against him personally.

people hate you because of your attitude,not because you are black,,,you think your number one only because you keep telling people you are the best,you havent faced a quality welterweight,ever,in his prime..floyd is not number one and it upsets him that people say it,number one for beating a jr.lightweight/lightweight??..nah..

OMG, this guy is amazing, he's talking about the same color of skin of our President? Jordan? Ali? The Williams sisters? Tiger Woods? Lennox? Mcnab?(spell) Michael Jackson? Hank? etc.... damn you tell me what's the diference here. Ok that he is a piece of ****, he can green and he's still a big piece of ****....

Nothing to do with Floyd being black, everything to do with the fact that outside the ring, he's an absolute ****.

And while racism may not be completely dead, its definitely not as prevalent, a perfect example of this is Michael Jordan.

Grim,

My black friends would often talk about how Jordan fails to take positions that would advance or help black people. Because he was Nike's puppet/ATM.

From a political standpoint, Jordan failed to adress the Asian sweatshops. Nike could have afforded to make $3 less on $150 sneakers.

Id rather be an Uncle Tom than an Uncle Roger!

X2, LOL , right on the spot....

If the idiot would just keep his mouth closed and be more humble he probably would be the greatest athlete well maybe lol

Why do fans love these fighters:
Oscar because he is a classy guy a professional in all terms, Hatton a dude who fights for his country and keeps it real, Pacman one of the humblest boxers Ive ever seen you cant hate him, Trinidad a peoples person a hero the peoples champ......

Do you see any of these characteristics in Floyd NOPE by far the boy got talent but his mouth has made him the most hated fighter well atleast in my opinion haha

Has nothing to do with you being Black, some of my best of friends are black funny as hell down to earth and talented very talented ...Floyd you just got to stop running your mouth....

Stop talking about how much money you got when we all read the papers we all see the internet on how they talk about you getting sued for an unpaid luxery car , we all have read how you or someone if your clan was involved in a shooting, we all have read how your trainer/ uncle dont give you no example being a women beater himself, maybe it the way you were raised but dont blame the public for your failures of being what you could of and what you should of.

Who cares you can hit a speed bag blind folded stop being a show off and do some of those moves in the ring..
