But none of the celebs I mentioned were caught up in ****** stuff like this. No one is perfect, but when your in the public eye you have power and influence, and like they say in Spider-Man "with great power comes great responsibility"Elvis died an overweight drug addict. Some role model.
Marvin Gaye, another drug addict was killed by his father while high.
Michael Jackson died of a drug overdose.
Come on man, you're making this too easy.
The point I'm making is citing the incident at Fatburger between Mayweather and T.I. as some kind of moral decay while ignoring countless other bad behavior by celebrities is hypocrisy at it's best.
I don't condone what happened but you're acting like this is going to ruin the lives of black kids or any kid for that matter. That's just crazy.
Lebron, Jordan, Larry bird, Peyton manning, Walter Payton, tommy hearns, Lennox Lewis, will smith, Tom Brady, ladanian Tomlinson, Eddie George, Kevin Garnett, Shaquille, bill gates, barrack *****, Damon from fubu, Hopkins, Roy jones, Lenny kravitz, Beyoncé, jay z, carver, Washington, mlk, Malcolm x, Stephan a smith, oprah, etc. there are literally thousands of black people from all eras that gained success, influence and notoriety yet in the public eye, knew how to handle themselves with class.. It's not your skin color, it's how you behave
No, I don't act like it's the end of the world for black kids. There is no denying that inner city kids face harder obstacles as others, but it's a shame when successful people who were once in their spot like TI, gets into it at a damn fat burger over Instagram pics... That's just not how successful people no matter what race should act
And thank you and huge props for being the first person that disagrees with me actually not condone what TI and Floyd did.. Everyone else that has debated me, not one has said a bad word about Floyd and TI, and not once criticized Floyd or TI, which makes me think they either condone it, or they are too dense to understand the situation..
So honestly thank you for being level headed and knowing that TI and Floyd chose the wrong way to act... Hats off
That's you, but it's undeniable that celebrities have influence.. If Floyd started wearing purple shoes, there would be tons of younger people wearing purple shoes... If Floyd wore damn bell-bottoms, people would start following him..Just because someone is a celebrity in some shape or form doesn't make them a role model. When a person makes it big IMO he/she isn't a role model. I will never understand why people use that phrase when something negative hits the news about black people. Role model hahaha, the only role models I know of grew up in my household. But I guess when you're weak you have to look up to someone other then the people who gave you life. SYHOT!!!!!!!
When you have that much influence, you need to represent your self in a classier mannerLast edited by Sugar Adam Ali; 05-25-2014, 09:17 PM.Comment

Exactly,,, it happens to all races.. Usually at the lower end of the totem pole no matter the race.... There is idiots of all racesComment

Sorry your not allowed to have an opinion on these things. You might step on some toes....stick to talking about the sociological ills of white people!!How,,,, By saying that floyd and TI are horrible role models and then listing off better role models...
Do you actually think kids dont idolize floyd and TI....
Do you think getting into fights at FatBurger over instagram pics is the classy thing to do...
Honestly, if you had kids, would you want them to be like floyd and TI or more classier individuals like Damon from FUBU or Lebron James, or even Al haymon...
My only point was there is tons of successful, classy people that dont get looked at as role models yet idiots like floyd, TI, even the Kardashians and the idiots on Real World are looked at as cool....

burger places just encourage it. East Harlem....and we would cut school all the time and go out to Brooklyn (bum cigs at the bar, get into trouble, etc) well we saw some great brawls!!! all at Burger King! Usually fat Italian guys, foosh!!! the food would fly everywhere, women screaming, guys with hair gel uttering oaths....Comment

just like i said u have no proof, no matter how many lol's you type you have nothing to back up TI being a snitch, when 50 cent was accused of this actual paperwork surfaced as evidence, where's the paperwork on TI.Comment

Exactly. But fellas do stuff like that all the time. We're always quick to jump on the guy over the situation but never say anything to the female. I bet she was sitting back and laughing while everything transpired.Comment

man u are seriously analyzing this **** too deep. .Shaq the guy who asked Kobe "tell me how my ass tastes" while on stage and cheated on his wife is a very classy guy... nobody on TV has any responsibility to raise your kids, turn the TV off and become their heroes and role models, problem solved. this was just a fight man, not the civil war.But none of the celebs I mentioned were caught up in ****** stuff like this.

Men get rubbed out so easily over money, drugs and gangs etc. But nothing like killing eachother over the vicious "V". I take no sides but maybe Floyd shouldn't have called her the B word. That could determine wether it remains a regular street scuffle that could be handled respectively or mofos getting riddled with lead. Money team might be "leaving Vegas"Comment
