Did Tyson Fight To Bring Equality To Black People?

[RimmyDelicious]

Tyson was a man who's life was saved by Cus, given a family who cared for him and raised him as there own and molded him into one of the great heavyweight champions. His greatest boxing inspiration was Dempsey (as has been stated), early in his career he cut his hair, wore trunks and shoes that resembled Dempsey, he even fought Dempsey full crouch, weaving style.

After Cus death, between the influence of King and his prison stay, he turned ****** and developed a hatred for white society. In the years following his career and as can be seen in the docu-movie 'Tyson', he laments the path his career took, the leaches he allowed to manipulate and suck him dry, and he cries over how much he still misses Cus to this very day.

The documentary never made out Des'reee was a golddigger at all.

It interviewed a black journalist who got told she was taking part in a lynching cos she criticised him.

She said some of his fans saw her as a gold digger, that was it!

Actually she said "most women supported Tyson" and "most men, especially black men supported Tyson." Also, I have seen the cases and both Tyson and Tupac were guilty, simple as that.

They brought in Maya Angelou for christ sakes to talk about Tyson and Tupac. It was absurd. There were some rappers talking abotu slave ships and Maya angelou was talking about how she was a slave so that Tupac didnt have to be a slave. It seriously was insane. Young Tyson didnt talk like that or think like that, Kid Dynamite wasnt concerned with race.

They literally had a 5 minute long rap/poem about Tyson and how he was freeing black people from slavery. I didnt knkow whether to laugh or cry it was that horrible. They realy stretched to make the connection to Tupac. Like they knew eachother somewhat and Tupac died leaving a Tyson fight, but I mean there connection was fairly weak. It wasnt like Tyson saved pac's life once or that they spend months on vacations together or Pac visited him every day in jail or vice versa.

This will explain how close they werent. Tyson was worth millions. Pac needed 1.4 mil to get out of jail. Tyson didnt do a single thing to help tupac raise the money or donate money. It took Shug Night offering Tupac a "slave contract" to get him out of jail.

This whole thing was a joke. I just found it especially funny how they made young Tyson out to be even somewhat aware of black struggle.

Funniest thing was at one point some black dude was listing off hw champs and accidently said Marciano to which he followed up with, well Tyson was different than Marciano and more liek Ali in that he was a black kid from the streets. It was awful.

you clearly dont know the history of tyson and tupac's case history..guess you beleive anything a court of law says..

You clearly dont know the history of the fact they were both found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt by juries comprised of mostly black people. Guess you believe anything high times and the intrawebs says...

Let me ask you this, did they ever fault Tyson for anything. Hell they skimmed over every mistake and tried to justify it by saying "oh tupac was angry hahahah" or "some say it was a set up..." Did they ever mention the fact that he beat his wife?

They tried to make Tupac and Tyson out to be these heroic guys when in reality they were just violent thugs.

Its what generally happens with a lot of famous people, but I would have to disagree with you on that they were ONLY violent thugs

Get back to the farm, Boer.

Of course. Also the reason he used to wear gold rolexes into poor neighborhoods so he could pulverize anyone who tried to rob him.

Someone forgot to tell that to Larry Holmes and Trevor Berbick

Well everyones more than just a label, but deep down I truly think Tyson and Tupac at their heart were just violent thugs.

oh and the funniest thing was when they wheeled Maya Angelou in and she was trying to act like Tyson asked some brilliant question since he asked, "explain the aforcentricity in Richard Wrights native son vs the Eurocentricity of Tolstoy." If someone would have asked a question like that in one of my classes I would have thrown something at them. Its a ******ed question. Its like saying "excplain the role of thinking in Catcher in the Rye." Its ****** its a question some tard asks to try to look smart. Theres no real answer, the question itself doesnt even really make sense.

tupac wasn't a thug, before he teamed up with suge knight he was raping about peace, black women getting treated badly,... After suge knight he became this fake gangster just to sell more records, he was a sell out.
