He'S seriously got good hair too. He got good here. No, no! No! No! No! No because there's color is when we say that yeah yeah, yeah, there's color, it's color, that's color is what we're saying so because the opposite see the thing is just even like the thing when they, when they came up when they keep on saying when they say, I'M begging with the good hair so baby got the good hair. Then what what the bad well who got the bad hair, because the opposite of good is bad. So, once again we that's colorism. I mean it is true. Bro, like you got it so so so my thing is this: see i'm real y'all, really i'm real sharp, i'm really educated on all this stuff. So my thing is this: i like to say that it's different textures and and and you got one with course - and you got you got - you may have a person with course, and you may have someone with curly. You got different textures, that's it, but it's not a such thing as good and bad right, just different textures, because if we say um someone got good here, then, what's opposite of good and that's how you check your homeboy after he said some ignorant, [ __ ]. Welcome back to my channel mother manusakas hey, so i wanted to briefly discuss this interview that resurfaced with floyd mayweather, his son and the host of drink champs nori. So this interview actually took place about a year ago, but it's resurfacing now on instagram and twitter, with hundreds of comments giving floyd his props for checking his homeboy nori. Now he went up there. Nori told him that listen man you're my favorite athlete of all time. He'S saying his praises, and even with all of that, ass, kissing, okay, floyd still checked his homeboy and his comments really came out of nowhere. You know floyd mentioned that his son does have a significant other and nori got really excited about floyd's son. Getting some ass and he's like yeah, you know you got the good here. Look at you with the good hair record scratch hold on. We don't do colorism over here in his family. Floyd is very protective over his son. He spoke on protecting his son having his son back, creating a life and legacy for his son for nori to just come in and just spew all of that colorism all over his son. He said not in this african-american house. Okay, now you can tell that nori was absolutely baffled, bewildered and befuddled honey. He thought he was giving that man a compliment and got shut. The hell down he's got the bad hair. Well, who got the bad hair, because the opposite of good is bad. So once again we that's colorism, i mean it is true. Bro, like you got it even his white co-host sat up there and said i mean that is true bro. You know if he has good hair. What does bad hair look like and again people? Judging this base off of curl pattern, because you don't know if his hair is healthy or not, you don't know his hair care routine. You don't know what's going on on his scalp, so to look at someone's hair pattern, curl pattern and say: oh that's, good, hair! That is that slave-minded white supremacist mentality and he got checked, and he know what to do. I know he low-key wanted to be like you know what, let's clap it up for colorism, let's clap it up. Let'S clap it up. Thank you for educating me, but instead he sat there all confused. Now i was reading some of the tweets because i don't know too much about nori. I don't follow him. I know he is afro-latino. I saw this tweet. That said, nori is one of those black hispanics that think they're hispanic, not black. I think this person meant to say he's one of those afro-latinos, that's sticking with the latino and dropping the afro. You know nori definitely gives me. I know black, i puerto rican when it's convenient and i know puerto rican, i'm black when it's convenient as well. Now the tea does get a little bit hotter. So i saw a few comments of people mentioning nori and giving his wife the black card. Someone said didn't nori, say his wife who's. Not black should be able to go on a black woman's retreat because she has black, kids, hmm, and so i went digging honey. So i could bring all these receipts and i found this clip of love in hip-hop, where nori's wife confronted shayla ace, hood's wife about not being invited to an all-black woman's retreat. Also, the last time we were at her house when i asked you about the retreat. You were like, oh, i don't want you to get offended, but it's only for you know black women, so i was a little uncomfortable after that. I guess just the way you said it. It kind of like threw me off guard. I was confused too because it was like we're you're talking about it. You'Re like oh, but first i just want to say thank you for bringing it to me in the way that you did that that you even felt some type of way, because you - and i did just me - and i also have empathy for the way that you Feel yeah, like we've all understood the feeling of being like whoa. Where did that come from like so i was just protecting my brand and i think that's where, in the conversation i could see where it kind of came off wrong to you. If you are pro-black, sometimes people assume that it means you're, anti-something else yeah and it's not true. I love women period. Happy healthy women create happy healthy families, communities, societies in a world and that's my mission above all my own mother and my own sister are not black, so it would never make sense for me to say i only care about the well-being of black women. However, i just think that there needs to be a special place for us, the version of the world that i want to see that is kinder to black women that respects black women that honors them. We don't live in it every day, so curvy curly conscious is the space for black women to go, to learn, to grow and to heal, and i feel like we deserve healing and growth. Like everybody else now, i can do a whole separate breakdown on this part of the video, but i feel like y'all, already know what i was gon na say. So this is nori's wife. I believe her name is miri and she confronted shayla about being excluded from the all black women's retreat. When i first saw that i was like wait, what apparently her and princess felt some type of way, because neri is princess's friend and neary has half black children and shayla still said what she said she said, but the retreat is for black women, not for women Who have black children, half black children, three? Fourth: black children, the retreat is for black women and black women healing. Why can't we have our own spaces? Why can't we have our own spaces and to make this scene even more awkward princess was explaining why she felt some type of way about niri being excluded and she began to cry and i'm so glad shayla just looked at her. You know she didn't change her stance. She didn't change her retreat. She looked. She listened, you know like she said she empathized with the ladies, but this is still going to be. A black woman's retreat, like y'all, could cry y'all could get on drink champs. Y'All. Could protest? It'S still gon na be a black woman's retreat. I didn't, i didn't understand the tears. I didn't. I personally don't see anything wrong with niche groups creating niche spaces to unpack and to heal everything ain't for everybody, okay, just because you have black kids. That does not mean that you can identify with what i go through as a black woman. Mary has black children. I feel like healing can come. Oh my god, don't cry. I'M gon na make me cry. I feel like healing, can come from different places in in order to heal us. We should also teach women who are raising black children. I also want to just interject and say i appreciate how respectful this conversation was. You know, loving hip-hop is known for women. Just being vile and nasty to one another, so it was nice to see three women you know come to the table, sit down respectfully and agree to disagree. Now with that being said, if i was at that table, i would have respectfully said - and i hear you princess - i hear you - i see you right, but this retreat is not to teach non-black women who have black children. Y'All can create a separate retreat for that. You know, because that is important. That is important right, but this retreat. This retreat is for black women who need healing, sisterhood and bonding that's what the retreat is for. I don't understand why they're crying, i don't understand why i don't i just don't. I don't see the wahala, i don't. I don't see it now. I did see comments of people saying you know, but shayla is biracial. Her mom is white, that's a conversation that we can have, but she is black presenting if she's walking down the street with her mom guess what she's black and her mom's white she's dark skinned and she has type 4 hair. So guess what she's going to be treated like just like the women who are dark skinned with type 4 hair? So this is something that she's passionate about. You know what i mean so for someone who is on the lighter and wider side of the scale. The more privileged side of the scale to want to be in a space where she can't relate, i can't relate, and it's unfortunate, that shayla had to spend so much time explaining you know that i don't mean you guys any harm. Like i love you guys. I love all women, i don't mean y'all no harm, i'm not trying to exclude y'all, but we need to fix this right here. You know what i mean it's like when you're building a house, you know: okay, there's seven rooms. Each room needs to be fixed when i'm upstairs, painting attic it. You know, i'm not like. Oh what about the basement, the basement ain't screaming. What about me? Oh yeah! We got ta fix that too, but that's a different set of paint. That'S a different set of tools like i got ta work on the attic first, you fool me now princess was in the comment section and i do believe she was being a little bit messy. She responded to someone's comment and said. I never said i was against what shayla was saying. I was just making a suggestion since shayla and i both have our trauma that stems from our non-black mothers. It'S her event and ultimately she can do whatever she wants. Now princess emphasized both hour to remind people in the comments that listen shayla is half white. Yes, she looks black, but she's half white, but that's a part of the struggle. The fact that she looks black she's gon na be treated like she's, black yeah, but princess. I see what she was trying to do there. I see someone in the comment section said princess should put her own event together about non-black moms, raising black children. It seems like something she's really passionate about. Maybe her and niri can set that up and shayla commented here, and they also said the only thing wrong here is that she even told her about the event. In the first place, she should have just invited the people she wanted to and not even mentioned it to her, because, of course, she's not going to get it, and i agree. We see the memes all the time, but especially going into the new year. Ladies, it's important to keep them lips shut girl. Invite who you gon na invite go where you gon na go. You know, create what you gon na create, but we don't got time to be telling everybody, because everybody doesn't have good intentions for you. You have to understand that some people just want to be there like. What are you here? For you know, y'all want to be in black spaces. Y'All want to be the face of black women. Y'All want to be the new black mothers, but when it really boils down to it, do y'all have that same energy like when it's really time to be black, or is it just fun when it's when it's when we're going on a retreat, we're going on a Trip you know when we all grouped up with all the girlies and it, but what about when we all standing in line and can't get in the club? Okay, y'all don't want to be black that okay, you know what let me end this video here. Clearly nori and niri, they got. They need to have a conversation. They need to have a conversation and they're grown, so they know what that conversation needs to entail, but they got to have a conversation yeah. Let me know what you thought about this down in the comment section. How do you feel about mayweather checking his boy nori on his colorism? How do you feel about norie encouraging his wife? You know and saying that you should be on that retreat. You have black children, but you just but you're, not black, but you are black but she's, not black, but she's, a black mother but she's not but her kids, but the retreat is for all black women. I'M i'm confused it's a little late. I just wanted to bring y'all all up to speed. I wanted to bring this conversation to my channel y'all. Let me know what you think about all of this down in the comment section be sure to like and subscribe and i'll see you at the next one. Ciao, oh my gosh. I forgot one last point. I also just want to give a shout out to all the girls that have been on here, creating content talking about colorism talking about auntie blackness right talking about all of these isms. You know, and even though sometimes we get discouraging comments, we get people saying oh you're, delusional you're jealous right. We are the reasons why a lot of mainstream uh, influencers or artists or athletes right are now speaking about this. You know: we've been educating people about this. We'Ve been talking about this for years and it is penetrating you guys. You may have a person with coarse and you may have someone with curly. You have different textures, that's it, but it's not a such thing as good and bad right. It'S just different textures
Comments
Eris Heiress Dupre: Crazy how black women get pushed out of spaces, and get told to "stop being so sensitive". Yet, when we create our own spaces, people get butthurt and want to cry for inclusion. Make it make sense ♀️
frenchgirl: This legit makes me happy. Black women standing their ground. Not letting women of no Color violate our boundaries. Hmm, I love it!
kay luv: Kudos to Floyd for checking that internalized racism / texturism. These conversations definitely need to be had. HEALTHY HAIR = GOOD HAIR. Period
Danneigh Heart🤍: I’m not a mayweather fan but I give credit where it’s due he stood up when normally most would be quiet
Taylor: His wife is offended b/c that “blaque” woman had some self-esteem! People feel entitled to OUR spaces!
JP Mackey: The fact that NORE *and* his wife got checked for colorism on separate occasions is embarrassing. ♂️
Ebony Jackson: As a Black woman, I would not expect, nor would I cry, to be included in a Latina or mixed race women's retreat. I really didn't understand the confusion or the tears
Angelina Not Jolie: This is why it's important for women both ambiguous and non ambiguous to learn about colorism. I am an ambiguous mixed woman but because I listen to your channel and many others, I have an understanding that my blackness/experience is different from yours and that's okay. Years ago I started learning about the topic. I kept listening and swallowing the hard pills, learned how to not take things personally in these conversations because I've always had good intentions, but I also took accountability for the ways I have contributed to the problem in my past. Now I have knowledge and can be a better person going forward. Learning about colorism also helped me with my "identity crisis" as a result of growing up in a white neighborhood and being seen/ treated as black by my peers, but also as other around my unambiguous family/friends. Honestly seeing those women cry like that is a kinda embarrassing .
Jaz: The world would be SUCH a better place if more men did this with their male friends and acquaintances. Check your friends whenever necessary
Krowned Kutie: It’s sad that I was actually shocked to hear Floyd respond like that. If only more black men would check their homeboys. And I wanted Shelah to tell them that since they are so invested, go create their own event! Like who pleads that hard to be included in a space that wasn’t created for them….ugh!
Sweet & Lovely: I'm SO glad she stood her ground! Black women are allowed to be exclusive unapologetically just like everyone else.
MrsD: My gawd, of all the women who deserve sacred safe spaces for themselves in this world, it is black women in the good ol' US of A. You all deserve a break and space. As an African woman, I really feel for my sisters over there.
Mary A: The fact that Mayweather, next to his own son, was straight up with Nore was really amazing because it serves as a crucial lesson for his son on these topics. Respect.
Future Esquire: Yess honey. You have the autonomy to create your OWN retreat for non-black women who are raising black children. Curly curvy conscious was created for black women and to have a safe space for healing. Periodttt. The crying and tears was lame to me I’m not even gon hold you.
Taylorwaylor: Floyd is the person I least expected to speak up so I’m giving him all the props for doing this!!!
simplybri: Nore’s wife isn’t black like girl get over it already. Black women can have their own exclusive spaces. We’re not obligated to let you in because you are married to a black man
Indiga Noir: I truly appreciate him for speaking up so quickly and not letting the narrative continue ‼️. He was speaking about texturism but he is 100% correct. He did exactly what needed to be done ✅.
Biscuit: The fact that Princess took a non-black woman’s side instead of a black woman’s side says a lot about her. I feel like Princess is one of those biracial women that pick and choose when they want to be black when it’s beneficial.
Amanda Price: The ganging up that princess and Nore wife did was ridiculous. His wife said from the beginning she is Latina not black. And for princess to say she understands and identifies as a black woman then you should be just as tired of teaching People ALL the time how to treat us and deal with a people that chose to be around and have children with black men with ignorance or disregard for the children they would produce. They keep throwing that womans biracial makeup in her gace like some defense to justify their ignorance. The retreat was about carrying themselves as black women in this world not about healing from non white mothers only smh. They just wanted to give his whack wife a storyline I swear cuz they were reaching .....and when Sheyla originally invited princess Nore wife said she wasn't even looking for an invite and only got offended when she Knew she couldn't come. Let's not forget so for that was a red flag for me.
NetSunJin: Shayla made such sense and said things so eloquently. It was a good discussion even if it was uncomfortable. Glad she stood her ground. Everyone isn’t invited to the cookout. If it was a Latina woman’s retreat, I wouldn’t assume it’s for me and impose myself.
jiouxssi: I notice white men, asian men, etc who have half black children don’t try to force themselves as much into black men’s spaces. So non bw need to follow suit♀️
The Divine One: So it’s perfectly ok to exclude or prohibit black women from clubs and parties but you can’t excluded non black women from going to a black retreat????? Shout out to shayla!!!
Taku Mungoza: I'm so proud of him for coming to speak properly about the way "good hair" and "lightskins" is just a normal part of vocabulary. We have to love ourselves and defend the beauty that is objectively apparent in our community.
Mami Makala: I saw that episode with Sheila, Princess and Neri and it was truly one of the cringiest moments I’ve seen on TV. It’s the non black/white women tears for me that get me every time these non black women are given boundaries. They ain’t used to it. Princess threw that tantrum and when it didn’t work, she decided to not attend the retreat. But apparently it was soooo important for a white latina to infiltrate that space though…
Julian Steve: What’s more crazy is in the clip of Love and Hip Hop Miami, NORE says “Isn’t she half Black herself?” Yet, NORE himself is a biracial Afro-Latino (his father was a White Puerto Rican and his mother was an African American). NORE needs to reevaluate his anti-blackness thoughts. I did not expect to see this topic and I am here for it. We need to call colorism out. Thank you for this video Eloho‼️
hfb: So….. I’m supposed to “teach” someone while I’m on a retreat? Does she not understand what the hell the word “RETREAT” means!????
Julia Mae Terry: Eloho, you have no idea the IMPACT you have made in my life. Thank you for the continued efforts you put forth by shining a light on racism that still happens in this country and specifically the struggles that black women have to go through. If we don’t call it out we can’t fix it and we are tired of struggling in silence. BIG HUGS from me to you ❤️❤️❤️
MoonHoney Mami: It’s the, getting upset for not being allowed on a black womens retreat because you claim to be raising black children but your husband who is supposed to be “the black” in the relationship barely claims black his damn self. (And also the kids are only 1/4 black) For ME ♀️
Michael Truvillion: I am so happy she stuck to her word. You see how the gatekeepers of our community keep letting others in. Inviting people to the “bbq” without knowing their true purpose. Black women deserve their own spaces. I would never walk in and demand being a part of it just because I'm black.
JK golden: I know we are all about inclusion these days and I am HERE FOR IT. But the black woman experience is very unique and there is nothing wrong with wanting to create safe, healing spaces for us to just connect, vent, just be.... There is something so POWERFUL when black woman create these spaces. We have so much similar experiences because of the color of our skin. And it's unique to us. And we just want to share our war stories and kee kee without trying to be mindful of the non-black folk in the room I am a physician and usually the only black woman in the room where I work. I miss having spaces like these.
Noire Naturel: As a non-black woman, how can Mary biologically have black children? And thank you for clarifying that having biracial children, with a black parent, does not somehow make you black, so you can create a retreat that reflects that addresses that specifically instead of co-opting a retreat for black (unambiguous/matrilineal) women. This is becoming ludicrous.
Tamera Howard: Idk how I feel about them laughing every time he said "colorism", as if it's not a real and detrimental thing.
Kei Chin: Princess wanted to trama bond bringing Nore wife, where the black womens space was about positivity from my understanding , we need to normalise adding positive energy to our lives rather than always having people take from us and using us as teaching tools
Tiana Love: Princess is not a black woman, she’s a biracial woman, more specifically mixed with black and Asian. She felt the need to defend her people cause she knows she’s not a full blown black woman herself. And that’s real.
Dreya Buttafly: This is what EVERY black father should be doing for EVERY little black girl with 4 type hair. Imagine the amount of self love all these black girls would have! And less weaves being worn
SIMF 🍯: I just find this interesting as someone who is pursuing a career in public health. Entire programs are created like hers for the “priority population” and if the program creators skip over cultural competency by not focusing on who it is targeted for, the program is not doing its job. Her brand is supposed to be for black women…so why the tears? There are spaces to engage with nonblack women about raising biracial children, and asking a black woman to change her mission/program to appease a non black person, especially when you don’t know how it’s funded… it’s giving undue labor. I’m appalled.
Maui Monique: Black women having to teach non-black women who have “black” children? Where that BM at to do that?! That is NOT our responsibility. This is exhausting & annoying.
kmariamv: Also why did Princess/ Nore’s wife feel it’s the black woman’s responsibility to guide them how to parent black/ mixed race children? She can see a therapist to sort her identity issues vs. derailing the event
clifford hill: As controversial as Dr. Umar Johnson is, this and other issues revolving around self-esteem and race I agree with him.
Gabrielle Maria: So many people too scared to do it because they’re afraid to look lame or too woke. Congrats to Floyd
Brianna: It's really sad that we have to applaud the BARE minimum, everyone should be educated on subjects like colorism & texterism. There still so many things we don't know about racism itself that isn't taught in schools. Good on Floyd, but that is the bare minimum.
Miya Honesty: If Nore’s wife really wants to learn how to be a better mother to her black children, this can be her first lesson. Don’t try to bombard your way into spaces designed with your Black children in mind. Because this is precisely the problem. Her children deserve to be the center of attention in this one instance like she gets to be in every other. I would hate to have a Latina mother who made everything about her experience and not let it be about my blackness for once♀️
Fi's Affordable Finds: I like what Floyd said , but it’s a shame that so many of us are so shocked that a black man made this important correction… I’m use to them just laughing this stuff off , So I’ll give him some credit for speaking up
Raji Joseph: While it's cool I guess that Mayweather spoke up (I'm personally not that impressed) I peeped a few things. 1. I don't believe in praising black men for simply acknowledging colorism, because black women have been talking about this for decades, and we get called crazy, bitter,ugly, jealous bitches. Black women were the ones putting in the work to get this conversation to forefront 2. He might have had an issue with the good hair comment because it was directed towards a guy. Black men usually speak up on colorism when it doesn't benefit THEM. And 3., most of the women he's been with has that phenotype of the typical preference. So while they don't like the men who have that phenotype getting uplifted, they have no problem with women who have that look. So while yes he spoke up about the issue, he simultaneously, either implicitly or explicitly, perpetuates colorism. Edit: I understand that the kid is his son, but I do wonder if he would've jumped up like that if it was a girl instead
ToriOfTheNile: can we talk about how bamboozled that naker was when floyd checked him. he looked like he never expected it. even the crowd seemed shocked and befuddled. thats how common place self hate has become amongst these men.
Shania: I am sorry but at this point having to "teach" the obvious is annoying.
Deborah: People were just asking why Black women were trying to get into a club/space they weren’t welcomed to. Now that we are creating our own spaces we are supposed to be all inclusive? Lol bye
Astiana Alissia Lynn: Y'all actually think Nore was confused by what Mayweather said?? I believe he was astonished that these words were coming out of MAYWEATHERs mouth! Mayweather has shown disrespect to colored women.. He doesn't get a pass for relaying a message that somebody else had to teach him.
Valerie Moses: There is a such thing as "Bad hair and Good hair". Bad hair is UNHEALTHY hair, and Good hair is HEALTHY hair. Good job Mayweather for standing up for the truth!!!
PreciousNicole: It’s refreshing to hear something like that coming from Floyd; even if he doesn’t truly believe it at least he had the decency to correct his friend.
Rayne: I appreciate him speaking up on colorism. It's about time. We need more men on our side for these conversations so they can pass it on and check their friends. As far as Shelah and Princess and the other lady, I would have gotten "disrespectful" once she started crying. I wouldn't be rude, but comment would've been taken that way. Simply would have said, "You, yourself are not black, or black passing. You don't know the struggles of being a black woman in society just because you have biracial children. You cannot come on a retreat that's for black women healing, but can't actually heal as a black woman. All you're going to do is make the black women that attend feel that they arent completely safe to talk about whatever they have on their mind because you're going to interject that it's not just a black experience because you think you have the experience. No, I cannot allow that."
Kayla Rae: He is absolutely correct about this one he made a point and explained his point very well
KMAT: Just a clarifying question. Neri has a half black child with a black Hispanic that doesn’t acknowledge his black ancestry but doesn’t understand why black women need a space where they are acknowledged and affirmed? Like her husband isn’t apart of the hate BW need protection from? It’s right there. Neri’s intentions seem pure but ignorant.
All Things Shaunda: My sister told about Curvy Curly Conscious and this drama a few weeks ago. The nerve of them to try to push their way into someone else’s space. Girl!!!
Shay: This was so wholesome. Like it seemed like he didn't know exactly how to put it and explain it but he still wanted to speak his mind and let them know it was wrong. As for his son touching his hair and getting excited by the "good hair" comment
Ira W.: -I’m happy he didn’t hesitate to stand for what’s right. The fact that the people in the background were laughing as if they initially took it as a joke speaks volumessss. His face at 0:23 spoke volumes as well. It was almost like he was confused as to why this black man was standing up for ALL black images. -Had the retreat been ‘light skin only’ and the roles were reversed people would swear she was an angry dark skin. Let us have our spaces, dang. Princess with her fake tears was wack too.
Adrian Garcia: That love and hip hop clip NEVER fails to make me be embarrassed to be Latino
Basimah Sibawe: Nore looking at mayweather like “did this dude just check me?” SMH ♀️ wasn’t expecting that call out.
Bria White: I said this when I first had my daughter 5 years ago. Stopped certain friendships behind women who would CONSTANTLY speak to how good my daughters hair was. Meanwhile I got 4c hair and would get a sideye once I started coming around with my natural hair 24/7. That shit is disgusting.
imapisces0308: I’m not even a Mayweather fan BUT I appreciate him for checking N.O.R.E.! I bet Floyd’s daughter feels protected by her father. I also think his son won’t grow up and be a bozo like the rest of these BM. And Princess is a fool for crying for trying to get her nonblack friend to go to a all black space.
Ney Co: Totally shooketh.... I like the way he spoke out against colorism. Growth for Men in the future I speak into existence.
A J: It’s sad that we have to applaud what we should ALL be doing. But I’m so glad he said something.
Kendall Glover: Inclusivity is always forced on the most disadvantaged people in society. Especially women of color and especially black women.
Quxn Jay: It's texturism but he got the right thinking and I'm glad he was quick to check that and he was completely serious, everybody but him is smiling and laughing about it, because what do you mean good hair? What is having "good hair" usually synonymous with? It's not healthy hair I can tell you that much...
Taylor: What does Nore think grows out of his scalp! He’s texturist and that explains why he picked a wife who isn’t “blaque!”
Crazy Cat Lady: People are so entitled. They don't think we're good enough or deserving enough to have our own spaces. Always trying to infringe.
NaturallyRoro: This is how we make a positive change. Floyd just gained some many points from me ❤️
Dark Skinbae: I think floyd is a prime example of having preferences. Floyd obviously LOVES non bw but i never hear him bash bw, like ever, which is surprising af
Sasha Noël: Why is Nore looking confused like he doesn’t know better? Come on now.
Upgrade: Hope he has that same energy to protect his daughter as well. His son is Biracial and I think he only checked Nore because Floyd felt the insult towards himself. I'll hold off on any praise until I see a black woman/girl being protected .
Rhawn246: Thanks so much for this video, Eloho! For some, it's like black women aren't unique or deserving of claiming anything as their own. We don't even do this to others and don't get me started on the "tears"! Look how quickly that one ran online to be shady talking about them both having non black mothers. Lol smh Protect your peace and your spaces ladies.
Dynasty Andrews: It’s something about the way that some non-black people use their close proximity to blackness as a “move past go” card to be in spaces meant for black people that bothers me. It makes no sense how some non-black people will literally fight to be in black spaces, but they don’t make room for black people in their own space.
PrettyAwesomeJM: The black fathers need to create the safe spaces for non-black mothers of mixed race children.
Nanimo: They're looking at him with amusement thinking he's dumb and wanting to dismiss what he's saying, but he was on point even if he didn't use the term "texturism." But that's okay because he got there.
Cali Keisha: Princess can create a retreat herself since she’s so chocked up and emotional…the tears are manipulative…
Dinah Nicole: Distinctions can’t be made….until DISTINCTIONS are made.
Rico: I’m glad Floyd spoke up. The lack of Black male celebrities sticking up for this sort of thing is part of our negative image. If I wasn’t a Black man myself, I think even I would look at celebrities like Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, etc. notice how many dudes at school diss Black girls if they don’t have certain features or prop up the most mediocre of non Black women over gorgeous Black women and think Black men ain’t shit too. It’s obviously not all, but as a guy, even I see that this shit is just WAYYY too normal. The men in my family aren’t like that and it’s good to see Floyd’s family isn’t like that either. We need to see more men speaking out. Black women are (understandably) gonna get fed up at some point if they aren’t already
Tashiba Lampkin: "Are you a black woman?" "I have black kids." "I have a black man." "DENIED!"
Casandra Kelly: Honestly watching the episodes where they was constantly at shelah’s neck about it got me tight. You have a Black husband & black kids instead of sitting back taking time away from your day to learn about them. Or when your husband goes back to his hometown learn about his roots.Just sit back & absorb all the information ask him certain questions. But noooo she don’t wanna do that she wants to get on another woman’s neck about not being invited to a gathering for specific culture that’s not hers.
Tomorrow I Learned: ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS. I WOULD applaud Mayweather, but his dating preferences reveal what he actually values. The women he chose to procreate with reveals what he truly values. He just knows to say whatever's clever because no one speaks their mind anymore. He's pandering. Not only that, but he was referring to featurism or texturism but used the term colorism. He's barely literate. I hope he's genuine but I doubt it.
Legally Divine: I always thought it was weird how nonbw always made their way into black women spaces. Like what the fuck do they want from us??? Her request was ridiculous and she seemed very entitled to a space for us. The tears was the icing on the shit cake.
Ohsnap Osei: I don’t follow Floyd may weather much— this was eye opening and I definitely respect his statement and sentiments - if other men could follow suit and speak up like this
Gold: Since the 80’s and beyond black women has sat and watched how the world treated us It’s now 2021 and we ain’t playing We are having black girl retreats and vacays and ignoring everybody !
beauty: That lady crying was honestly so embarrassing
Flow :0: I hope he really means what he is saying! This is ( MY )first time seeing a popular BLACK MAN saying something educated.
Adrian Garcia: I have some opinions on Floyd but It’s so great seeing a father show his son on what not to say about other people, especially if it’s some ignorant shyt
edith Art: He has a daughter, he took up for his daughter, he took up for the women in his family and of all he defended his blackness. Good for him
Amanda: I ain’t never agreed with Floyd about nothing!!!!! until today
so.many.obstacles: Black children are children with two Black parents. I don’t understand Princess saying Neri has Black children when NORE himself is biracial or multiracial at best.
Alias Fakename: *Colorism-* light skin has more privilege in black communities *Texturism-* looser hair texture has more privilege *Featurism-* narrow noses give more privilege
Pélé Sync: No such thing as “good hair” all hair is good! Healthy hair is the thing that should be praised!
drtash21: It's the Karen tears for me. They came right on cue as soon as they were excluded chiile I'm not trying to laugh...but I am !!
Yasmeen Cunningham: I’m very shocked that mayweather even spoke on this topic. Kudos to him for speaking knowledge on colorism and texturism
MimiWho: Kuddos to Mayweather for this! I will never apologize for the way God created me. If anyone ever has an issue with the way God made me, take that up with God, not me!
Brianna Washington: "If he has good hair, then what's bad hair?" Preach!!!
Jaha Whitaker: Child if your raising black kids and your not black go to the child's father side of the family and gain some knowledge that doesn't mean every door with black women behind it should be your space just because you have black kids is this conversation really that hard to grasp
Samantha Coleman: Ironic how he’s talking about “good hair” but his wife’s hair is every bit fried and edges falling off from all that straightening and dying oop- -
🐞Ladybug: I feel like Nore was surprised because Mayweather has disrespected black women before.
dee83088: Good on Mayweather speaking up! We need more of this! As far as, Nire and this retreat business… it is not for you
Daphne Winters: Wait, how do they have black children when they're not black women? You can't have a black child w/o a black women.... I'm confused
