FAO: African American Floyd Fans

[Left Banned Tua]

it's mlk.

do you honestly want to accuse someone of racism for talking about bet?

come on now.



that's like bragging about being in the rotc in high school on veteran's day.

I was disgusted by the remark. This is coming from a black person who has actually experience a lot of hardcore racism growing up in Texas.

so you experience hardcore racism and yet is disgusted over a guy mentioning bet?

the remark wasn't even about black people.

it was about white people!

I didnt accuse him of anything, i just ask him to explain what he meant by those comments.

this doesn't apply to the euro, BET-influenced Floyd fans


but to the ones here in America;


How do you feel about Floyd comparing himself to great social leaders like Martin Luther King and Malcolm X?

Please discuss

to be honest, it really kind of pissed me off when i read the title yesterday... no, it angered me! i teach african american history on the high school level and it was insulting for me to hear him say that. mlk is a member of my frat..apa---1906; the things that floyd does would not mk them proud...the solice that i take in watching pbf is that "at least he made it"! he is not gang ****ing or selling poison to his own people. But this is a private matter among brothas that i would rather discuss in another setting. I have alot to say on this matter in regards to floyd...but i will try to shut up. but let me throw this lil nugget out there..."floyd's hometown has one of the worst school districts in america, with an ongoing labor dispute among it's teachers: instead of ******** that money on nba games, the way pbf boasted this weekend, why not put some of that $ into the schools? that would make malcolm little and mlk extremely proud!!!!!

It was a ****** thing to say. It wasnt earth shattering but it was dumb. Its not as offensive as it is silly. I was more offended finding out Ali spoke at clan meetings because the clan actually had done things that hurt African Americans. For me that was earth shattering. Though I didnt agree with that choice Ali made, it didnt change the fact that Ali did do many great thing for African Americans and is the best heavy weight of all time.

Also, its too bad that it taked Floyd saying something ****** to get boxing some espn attention. Sad.

Yeah, I am confused why would Ali go there knowing the history

As for Mak...I just dont know what he was thinking about when he chosen to write down those comments.

no Im talking about Floyd's comments not Makaveli's. I just think he needs to respect the people who paved the way for him.

Why do people care about the opinions a man has of HIMSELF???? Why would a person care about the opinions a man that they don't know has of themself whether it is positive, negative, overrated or underated?

Co-sign.

I was about to bring up Floyd being from Detroit also. Floyd should know better, especially considering the hardships his hometown has had to endure. In no way shape or form is he anything like MLK or Malcolm and to make a comparision to them, especially considering his lifestyle, is disrespectful to the men you paved the way for all african americans (including myself).

I mean there is hype and saying n doing dumb **** to sell fights, but comments like these are very unnecessary.
