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.
Any blk man that is successful that gets too much attention, or is too vocal will get scrutiny, and envy, and more. Its what it is.
But all the people that hated Floyd anyway jumpin on this like some kind of holy revelation need to realize where their thought process is slanted from. This ain't prolific. Its garbage.Last edited by Syf; 04-25-2010, 02:13 PM.

Keep in mind that he himself is a success, his son is a success, and he's trained two successful fighters. So again, tell me, how's he hating on success?
