Don't hate because he is black.
Are we going back to the ways of hatred. It is easy for many of us White folks to dislike Floyd Mayweather. Why is that? Would we hate a white champion that talk so much trash. I think not. I do dislike how he acts, but I know that part of his act is to make money and sell fights. We in the white community needs to always check our heart and make sure we don't act like the racist back in the early part of the 20th century. It is alright to dislike someone because of their behavior but not because they are black. Must I remind you what the Guardian newspaper said, "Yet it was that very symbolism, the public face that Johnson, the son of former slaves, turned with such taunting glee against white supremacists of his day, that not only resulted in the lynching of at least 20 black people in riots that swept the country in the wake of his win over the very white and bloodied James J Jeffries in 1910, but eventually opened the way for black fighters to be afforded their equal standing, and for African Americans to proclaim their champions with pride".
