I'm sure your income exceeds mine elz, I won't set you up to brag on yourself yet again.

Naw It was a serious question... I wanted to see how much money validates no earning a degree? Cuz niggas is clowning Mayweather for not being able to read yet he s sitting on 200 million cash

Exactly

Sometimes degrees are more for bragging rights than they are for getting money..like they guarantee financial security.

I'm saving it and getting it at the same time.

I could easily make my way through a secondary education, I'm just not willing to dedicate the time right now.

One day maybe.

The fact that both of you are equating basic literacy with getting a degree is dismissive.

This is a black man who struggles with basic literacy, EVERYONE living in this country should be able to read and write in the english language.

Given our history of poor literacy and comparatively poorer performance in academia, its sad to see Floyd be exposed as a walking stereotype: the dumb nigga athlete.

Our ancestors fought and died for our right to literacy. To see any black person in this country throw that away is an absolute disgrace.

Not being able to read well doesn't make Floyd "dumb". He can still make intelligent decisions. Ppl are trying too hard to shit on him because they don't like his personality. His approach works to build intrigue for his fights though.
 
we are people so quick to beat him down?

becasue he makes himself the bad man to sell fights?

because he emotional at times?

we need to celebrate his black excellence.

bashing floyd is the same as crabs in a barrel.

most of his money is taken from white people and given to help black people.

yet yall shit on him.

i want to see this same hate for white people

He can make intelligent decisions based off of what is dictated to him. If you can't interpret, process and synthesize the language that you speak, then yes, bruh, you are one dumb motherfucker. Illiteracy and intelligence does correlate.

I can say this: he must have surrounded himself with a bunch of day one loyal to the core ppl because for him to be functionally illiterate and not have been robbed blind is a feat within itself.

Haven't seen evidence of this. I've seen more evidence of him flaunting his wealth than anything...care to enlighten me?

No one's shitting on him btw. I think most people believe that Floyd needs to use his time and money to invest in himself. Not saying he has to go earn a doctorate, but get a tutor and learn to read.

Yall don't see how problematic this is? Young black men everywhere look up to Floyd. By accepting his illiteracy as A-OK then we're basically telling our sons that illiteracy is fine as long as you can throw a ball, punch another nigga's lights out, sing/rap or run fast. Same shit whites told to the last generation. And it's certainly ok if you can "make good decisions" FOH we're already underrepresented in academia as is. Let's not perpetuate this shit man.

It may not seem important but highly educated whites are the people that have the power to spread misinformation about our people...that we're unintelligent, incapable of academic achievement, or morally inferior. Who do you think writes these stupid studies that paint us in a bad light? We need to encourage education in our kids and in ourselves so that we can dispel these myths and represent ourselves in a better light.
