    Is the US media more biased towards wealthy black men than any other race?

    This is question from a white English man and Mayweather fan.

    The likes of:

    Tiger Woods
    Kanye West
    Michael Jackson
    etc

    and now Floyd Mayweather Jr have fallen scrutiny to the media's "hyped" up biased.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr fought for his country in Olympics, consistently feeds the homeless and debuted his summer camp for kids this year alongside his Foundation.

    None of the listed has been praised by the media, none of the abusive / racist comments that he faced since his public vs with Pacquaio have been raised.

    Why?

    Is it because the questioned thread title is right. Maybe ... What do you think?

    Why do people always feel like someone is out to get them ?

    Floyd did this to himself and so did Tiger Woods and all the other clowns you just mentioned.

        Why do you have to bring Michael Jackson into this? He made Thriller.

        THRILLER.

          On another note, TS is an idiot. There's one thing all these people have in common: they're celebrities thus they're put onto a higher standard than other people.

          Look at Mel Gibson. He's a white racist abuser. He was splattered all over the news a month ago. Is he black? Nope.

            The race card again.

            The ppl you listed has done lots of controversial things. Not as a black person, but as a human being =P
            look at other celebs, they have lots of troubles too, not just the black celebs you just listed.

              If a white athlete made these comments about a black athlete they wouldn't even have a career left at this point. Mayweather has got off very lightly thus far.

              If Pavlik called Mayweather a black, chicken eater, ****** rat, do you think he would ever appear on HBO again? Umm, no.

                  michael jordan has always been loved by americans, white or black. and so is oprah, will smith, denzel washington and most of all barack *****...they gave him the most important position in america. if american media was biased towards him he would've not won the presidency.
