Floyd Mayweather is always silent about injustice done to blacks. The police are killing unarmed blacks all over America, and he hasn't spoken out against it. When black people are catching hell, Floyd Mayweather is nowhere to be found. How could he be so out of touch with black people? In this interview he was asked about NFL player Colin Kapernick protesting against the police killing unarmed blacks. Floyd Mayweather said that his approach would be different than Kaepernick. But Floyd doesn't have any approach at all, when it comes to addressing the police killing unarmed blacks. Floyd Mayweather said that black people should just pray. God want us to do more than just pray when we see wrong and injustice. Muhammad Ali didn't just pray, Muhammad Ali used his platform to address the injustice that black people were facing. Ali put his life, career, money, fame, and boxing title on the line to make things better for blacks. In this interview you can see that Floyd Mayweather is uncomfortable talking about real issues facing black people. Edited by Marcus, Sep 22 2016, 01:01 AM.

The last time you all told this same lie, on Mayweather, I posted a link to him speaking out against cop's racism. Let me know if you all feel like, once again, being pained with reading truth I can post here for you. |

Floyd Mayweather said that black people should just pray. How is that going to stop the police from killing unarmed blacks. |

He sure didn't let his Pop Warner football stay, silent, when he had them do like Kaepernick and take a knee for the national anthem: Plus let's not forget how he started off the year 2016 juuuust right ... by telling America to focus less on, Bill Cosby, and focus more onto how racism's cops mistreat negros: http://blacksportsonline.com/home/2016/01/mayweather-we-have-more-important-things-to-attack-than-cosby-video/ |

Ethos how does a pop Warner football team, have anything to do with Floyd Mayweather opening his mouth and speaking out against the police killing of unarmed blacks? It seems like those kids have better sense than Floyd Mayweather. |

Floyd Mayweather owns the team, he pays for the team and he stands there with the team while they kneel during the anthem, plus most all, the nation's news outlets describe it in that same way. Which means Floyd celebrity it is no different than how 49ers owners get praised for letting Kaep express himself. Same way as how Jerry Jones uses the Cowboys to make social statements regarding his Image and same for Michael Jordan/Charlotte Hornets as well as Mark Cuban/Dallas Mavs and Donald Trump/Trump Towers. If you don't comprehend that social impact of Floyd's actions here, then I think it might be fair to reanalyze what you really want in terms of Black Advocacy which changes this nation's racist culture. I also think it is noteworthy how you dodged it or, you ignored it, how Floyd Mayweather spoke out publicly against police brutality earlier this year. Big media like CBS & USA Today covered the story, so how did you miss it? Back in January that week when people were going HAM on Bill Cosby, Floyd came out publicly and asked 'why are we focusing on Bill Coby when we should be focused on police brutalizing negros?' No doubt indeed but you refuse to give him his due credit. Edited by U Thant, Sep 25 2016, 05:34 PM.
