Yes that fight propelled Floyd into a superstar but it was his courage intelligence and vision that even made that opportunity possible. That’s my point. We have to give him credit for the smart moves he’s made outside of the ring. It doesn’t matter what you tell yourself, you’re a hater if you refuse to give the man his due credit and insist upon perpetuating lies to discredit his accomplishments.

It’s the same with mlk. America pretends that he’s this beloved figure but America hated mlk when he was alive. He’d be seen as a “race baiter” ala Al Sharpton or somebody. I say that to say that there’s always an excuse for why outspoken black men are hated. Floyd isn’t even race conscious and he’s always called racist. It’s why race can never be dismissed as a factor in how black men are viewed by the media and public.
