Comments Thread For: George Floyd's Family Accepts Mayweather's Offer To Pay For His Funeral

[Cortez]

I totally agree. This is a good move by Floyd. I never liked him as a fighter or a person but this is nothing but good karma for him. He didn't have to do it and given his history, it's amazing that he is the black public figure to foot the bill. Maybe Floyd has turned over a new leaf but what is for sure is the rest of the rich black celebrities don't give a damn and in reality are more selfish than he is. Way to go Floyd.
Where's Oprah? Where's Jay-Z? Beyonce? Denzel? Morgan Freeman? Lebron? Jordan? Apparently nowhere to be found. Floyd to the rescue.

You don't know anything that those people may or may not have done for anybody, because most people don't announce charitable causes because it lacks class !!

Just like Floyds business manager telling TMZ !

any funeral or anything charitable he has every done you know about it because it gets announced !

Many of those celebrities are actually out in the streets protesting. That's hardly "doing nothing." Plus you're naive if you don't think Mayweather bringing attention on himself to make himself look good is a possible angle here, given his history.

If all these other celebrities cared then the answer Floyd would have gotten when he contacted the family would be "thanks for the offer but its been taken care of"

Its been a week now and not a single one stepped in until Floyd did.

You see NBA player JR Smith's twitter feed, he was all for these riots until it started affecting him, whoa whoa who is ***ing up my cars, this is a residential area he said, theres no businesses around here he said, really so its cool they just trash small businesses and if those working class owners lose everything but you touch his car and now it affects him its different.

That's hopefully not going to happen. People are mixing up 2 issues here. Systemic racism and racist policing. They need different solutions. Racist policing should be easier to fix, the people need to demand that ********s politicians step up and come up with policies to reform police forces across the nation.

You are wrong. Law enforcement is a system in the US just like the judicial system and the penal system and all three are unfairly bias against black people. The police have their own policies, some that are written and some that are not. It is OBVIOUS after all the deaths of black people by cops that they are following the guidelines of systematic racism just like how they arrest more black people that white people for minor crimes and they get convicted with much harsher sentences than non-**********. This is systematic racism and it starts with the police behavior and the arrests they make right through to the judicial process that is rigged against black people to the penal system which is rigged against black people.

Racist policing will NOT be easy to fix unless the penalties for unjustifiably killing black people are much stiffer. This is policy driven. Unless the policies and laws in place change to seriously punish those guilty parties, racist cops will continue to do what they do.

Vlodaholik a hating ass mf...no suprise he one of the only talking shyt

The guy is pure hillbilly trash. He should be reported because if he were one of the cops who watched Chavin"ist" take the life out of Mr. Floyd, he would've done the same thing, just stood idly by because he hates non-whites. I've said it before but I'll say it again, fu*ck that guy. He is pure white trash.

I dont know that all the other supposed black leaders didnt pay for the funeral?

Thats weird because when floyd called them, their answer wasnt "no we were taken care of by xyz"

You sure I dont know that? want to edit your response?

You are playing semantics , I have no doubt that many many people donated way more than the cost of a funeral ,have you seen the donations ?

Floyd paying for the funeral and subsequent press release about it is shameful IMO

google mayweather, then hit news

Great post.

Don't expect much from the current, racist, brutal white regime though. I instead expect the US to get even worse for all non-whites, not only blacks.

Revolution? Civil war?

I suspect you'd have the sympathy of much of the world if the oppressed ********** in the US were to take matters into their own hands, but to enact true change you're gonna need to get a solid proportion of the white population onside too man... Gonna be a big task cos the systemic racism prevalent in the US has successfully alienated folk of all backgrounds from one another.. as of course was its purpose.

But I'm rambling, maybe this ain't the place.

Either way big props to Floyd for this gesture, would be nice to see other big names committing both their names and their money.

[Smash]

he saw the name floyd and thought yeah ill do that, great way to get major kudos too since its so high profile, smart guy he is
