Basing it from you and the *****s' track record of giving credibility to crackheads and convicted felons, i think you ought to to maintain consistency

What I've never understood very well, is a point Floyd made himself about the black fan base as it relates to himself and the Filipino fan base as it relates to Paquiao. Filipinos have a deep and sincere pride when it comes to Manny Pacquiao, they may not be boxing fans but they still have respect for what he's been able to accomplish. While "blacks" as it relates to Floyd Mayweather have a much more mixed reaction, almost visceral in nature. Some in the black community seem to almost despise Mayweather's success even though he's been able to rise to almost unparalleled heights, and it doesn't just end with Mayweather, other black athletes are derided by some in the black community for nothing more than being successful. I don't get this logic but it fits with a community that is self-destructive and envious of some of its most successful members.

I'm not saying blacks can't criticizes blacks, they can, but when uneducated commentary flows out of the mouths of the likes of Michael Irvin, "hater" comes to mind.

Wait, Irvin is a multi-super bowl champion, football HOF'er with some impressive accolades and records and was a core member of the most dominating football team in the past 20+ years...but he's just a jealous hater?!?

Accolades are very, very, very nice but how much money does he have? Mayweather has many accolades as well but when he fights, he fights for the money, and getting paid is probably his best skill. A lot of athletes have accolades but many of them end up broke, and just between us, money is what matters in the end my friend because an accolade can't support a lifestyle or family. And yes, other well known blacks can hate on other well known blacks, it happens all the time.
