I lost some respect for Nasim Richardson.

I wasn't going to even post in this topic, but I see some cats are not as smart as I thought they were...

Good post man.

Cats have taken what Naz has said, and twisted it to the point of it not even being what he said anymore. I saw the episode, and I for one didn't think it was that bad.

Whatever-

I don't have time to tell people what Naz said or how to take it...

Good post once again man.

I'm with you on this. I wasn't gonna reply to this due to the ignoracy in this thread, but I still felt like given Hannibal some props because I like a lot of the knowledge he dropped in here.

He shouldn't really be saying things like that. It just perpetuates the black on black stereotype. I mean I understand he's frowning upon the actions of Mayweather but black people aren't the only ones that do those sort of things.

I think that is the point he was trying to make. Floyd is one big stereotype, and has no problem being that. Some older black men, and older black folks in general find that very shameful...

I know a few (I for one could careless how he acts)...

Unfortunately, what Naz did/said was actually more corrosive to your race than it was to Floyd himself.

And that is the blowback.

yeah it was about as corrosive to my race as Floyd calling Manny Steward an uncle tom.

I could care less about Floyd's actions, but why don't you talk about that since you are trying to call people out for their words.

They are BOTH corrosive. But Floyd isn't operating under the guise of "taking the high road", now is he?

It seemed to me that Floyd was clearly saying last night that he is willing to drag Team mosley down into the gutter. And Team Moz has acquiesced.

That's the thing. Some guys listen to a small amount of what Naazim says, and they think the brother is deep an wise. In reality, he is basically like Louis Farrakhan. A guy who says a few good things, but when you probe deeper, he is a hypocrite and a fake.

How is he a hypocrite and a fake?

Exactly..

If you gonna take the high road, then take it.

To those who are still oblivious to the meaning behind Naazims word, Have some of your mothers never told you that what you do reflects upon them, thus the reasons she wants to behave?

All through grade school my mother would be on my back about how I acted, the quality of my work, how I treated my peers, etc. She'd say "What you do reflects upon me. People may not even know me, but when they see you acting up, doing the wrong thing, they automatically judge me based on your actions. "His mother mustn't be raising him right, or his parents allow him to do whatever he wishes, etc". But the same applies for when you're doing right. If you're in school turning in your work on time, being respectful, and staying out of trouble. That to reflects upon me. Instead they'll say "his parents are doing a great job, or he must have a stable support system, etc" So behave, and don't be out there embarrassing me.... " Etc, etc, etc.

Again, I'm attempting to break it down to the simplest of forms. As a fellow black man, Naazim knows the way in which Floyd carries himself, reflects upon his people. People will form their opinions and preconceptions about AA's based upon how they see Floyd act.

People, this is basic. Stop pretending as if the man were out of line.

I now believe that Floyd can say wahtever the **** he wants, and his fans won't care, but if anyone says anything remotely bad about him they flip out. That ****s lame.

And, quite frankly, I know black people that DO consider people like Shawn Porter to be a "sellout".

...for his training/overt fandom of Pacquiao.
