Comments Thread For: Video: Deontay Wilder Reveals The True Meaning of "To This Day"

[_Rexy_]

Wilder is from Alabama. The legacy of slavery and segregation still affects black people in that region to this day.

I have no problem with him speaking out and bringing attention to that fact.

not to mention he made those #TillThisDay T-Shirts and donated 100% of the proceeds during black history month.

I don't see the issue if he's making this something good. He's not telling people to go flip cop cars

Yes let's paint this idiot as some kind of civil rights activist and all round stand up guy.

Let's forget he openly admits he wishes death and brain damage on all his opponents and Hope's for a body on his record.

Stokely Carmichael, H Rap Brown, Huey Newton, Eldridge Cleaver, Bobby Seale, Malcolm X, Touissant, John Brown etc said and did much worse in terms of violence and they are all well received by the people they fought for. And I’ll add that the great Muhammad Ali tortured men in the ring for calling him “Cassius” because of its disrespect to how he saw himself as an African in America during a time of great social upheaval. Ali could have easily killed Terrell and Patterson.
Your comment smacks of an “I just don’t like him so I’ll make up something to enforce my view” scenario.

Walking around dressed like that, none of it will matter, because you're not going to get the right kind of respect from the right people. You'll just be labeled another thug with a voice.

This is one key reason Ali was so much respected even outside of the business. Walking around in a suit, well presented, looking and talking like the money he was worth.

Lmao, that’s some of the most cringeworthy s**t I’ve ever seen.

Deontay Wilder is a civil rights hero because he said “To this day!,” lmao.

This is disrespectful to the black people that are really on the frontlines of equality struggles today.

Yeah that’s funny. Civil right hero lol, who was given the platform to speak his mind, but didn’t have the educational sense to do so, instead he shouted at another black man who represents the press and stereotyping him. In essence saying the guy should know because he is black himself as well.

Now they are trying to embrace that, good luck with that, shows how bad or easily influence these sort of people are.

if you aint BLACK you aint gon understand.
point. blank. period.
BLACK people "GET IT" & thats all that matters.
EVERYBODY else is on the PERIPHERY of our unique circumstances

To say that he "reveals" it kind of implies like he was holding some kind of rosetta stone esoteric knowledge from us all. He didn;t reveal anything - he's an absolute bellend coward who is a slave to his ***ish master.

Gimme a single mom black white mexican or whatever, who does her best every day with what she has. That person has more courage than this lying fool who says he'd like to kill a man in the ring.

He's a teeny, phoney fraud whose balls shrivel up every time someone says "Joshua". GTFOOH.

[Froch_uppercut]

You're the one making stuff up bro. Talking **** about Ali carrying guys. You don;t know that, you making a straw man here. Using the word 'tortured' is very wrong in that context.
