Is Mayweather a positive role model for the young African-American community?

[Chuckguy]

I mean he is a rich black man who's internationally known and came from the struggle...Shouldn't he be teaching kids things instead of being racist to the philipinos and acting like a "thug"?

Yes and no
Yes
he is rich and came from a broken home and from the mean streets of Detroit so other young black/african americans can aspire to be like him and know that if he can make it so can they

no
he acts very immature and ignorant
he doesnt handle his finances in a mature manner
he hasnt learned from his mistakes

[tredh]

How come high profile athletes are automatically looked upon as role models?
When looking at it for what it really is the **** is stupid. Charles Barkley was right when he made the commercial saying he is not a role model. You got some of these athletes who do drugs, and can't even ****ing read but because they get paid, run a 4.2 and score 30 ppg and get 12 rebounds a games that equates the to being good people.

Then society feels let down when a human being makes a ****ed up mistake. But society for years still doesn't see something wrong with this pattern. Definition of insanity maybe????

His dad was a pro boxer and he was brought up in the suburbs.

What about Pac, he is from a 3rd world country, a broken home, and still he behaves like a man.

So none of you as a kid looked up to an Athlete? Bull****.
