The “all lives matter” rhetoric has done no one any favors, especially the celebrities who blurt it out in response to the country’s police-black civilian issues and other racial injustices. Most recently, Detroit Tigers star pitcher Justin Verlander and San Francisco 49er legend Jerry Rice both issued apologies after feigning ignorance for the controversial rebuttal to the Black Lives Matter movement.
And according to a one Mr. Clifford Harris a.k.a. T.I., his longtime nemesis Floyd Mayweather, owes one to the black community for a recent interview he conducted where he calmly repeated the phrase that was created after BLM began to gain some traction within political conversations.
If you recall back to Memorial Day Weekend 2014, Tip and Money Mayweather’s beef came to actual blows (at a Vegas FatBurger because, of course) and their issues haven’t been resolved since.
After soaking up Mayweather’s interview with The Boxing Voice, a visibly peeved, yet composed T.I. proceeded to educate the undefeated boxing champ on the dangers simply stating “all lives matter” can carry. Like so many before him, Mayweather subconsciously inserted an “only” in the Black Lives Matter quote where there previously wasn’t one.
“Yo, @floydmayweather all our past personal differences & opinions of each other aside….,” Grand Hustle’s CEO wrote. “This is socially irresponsible, inconsiderate, & insensitive. It mirrors delusional oblivion in a way only brainwashing tactics can achieve. This completely undermines & discredits the movements that fight for the plights of our people. You’re a leader whether you know it or not. Don’t get so lost in personal possession or individual achievement that you lose sight of the things that are larger than all of us. Freedom, equality, justice, human rights,qualities of life that have been withheld (or given out sparingly) from our people for generations (400 yrs approximately). A true champion is a man of the people. A true champion makes sacrifices for the people & takes a stand against injustices for those who may not be strong enough or able to do so.
“A true champion is great inside as well as out. There’s a difference in “Greatness” & being “Great” at something. “Greatness” isn’t a measure of your abilities & accomplishments, “Greatness” is a measure of your morals,integrity & principles throughout life. Oppression knows no neutral ground. Either you’re the oppressed,or you’re the oppressor. What side would you like to believe you’re on? While some will try to make this more critical than I hope for it to seem…it must be said. The world is watching. I have an obligation to myself & those who follow me to address this. Just know I ain’t looking to clown you,I’m just trying to enlighten you,hoping that with better insight you can use your powers for good. Respectfully…-King #USorELSE”
As a self-proclaimed family man with several black sons, T.I. has been particularly keen on “staying woke” to the happenings of the nation and it has been reflected in his music. His recently released EP, Us or Else, was met with critical acclaim for not only being the most focused Tip has sounded on a sole project in years but raising social awareness within rap, which, where some of the principles the culture was founded on.

The “black lives matter” rhetoric has done no one any favors, especially the celebrities who blurt it out in response to the country’s police-black civilian issues and other racial injustices……. There I fixed it for you

#DolphinsLivesMatter
Que
Blm is a racist movement the police kill more whites and hispanics it bad police training no one should get n e bullshit for saying all lives matter
Dummy. Your vocabulary and grammar match the views and intellect of one, Donald Trump.
Chill Kid. Your comment totally shows your quick to get offended before observing the true meaning of the statement.
anyone who doesnt think “all lives matter” is an idiot, how would we ever have any peace if any one life matters more then another its just stupid on all levels. my life matters the same as a while, black, asian what ever it may be
Once again, nimrod, TI wasn’t saying black lives matter MORE, or ONLY BLM, he is saying Black Lives Matter TOO. You know why? because the current state of affairs seems to point to Black lives NOT mattering. He’s not saying other lives don’t matter as much, we are trying to be included in the equation, you dumb fxck. Take your small head out your pink ass and look at the bigger picture. Educate a friend, because after reading my eloquent post, I know you know what I’m talking about. And if you took 15 seconds to actually listen to the statement and the sentiment behind it, you would know from the beginning we aren’t saying Black Lives Matter more than another! good gracious, people are soo thick online!!
once again jackass he didnt say “black lives matter TOO” and the whole black lives matter is a marketing play by democrats so that simple ass peoples such as your self continue to vote democrat. your being treated like a slave still and you dont even know it, not only dont you know it you will fight to stay in your place you stupid mofo. also black lives matter is bs still for the simple fact that black men are 3 times more likely to get stopped by the police, which i agree is messed up. but it is also a FACT that minority neighborhoods typically have higher crime. im not saying thats a fair reason to stop someone but it likely cant be helped, it is also a fact police killed nearly 3 times as many white men this past year then black men, so what does that tell us simple one? anyone with a brain would realize white people are way more likely to be killed then black, if anyone should be out protesting its white people.
No shit more whites are killed by police. They make up nearly 60-65% of the population. Blacks, only 11-12%. Despite this, in 2015, only 732 whites were killed compared to 381 blacks. By population, more blacks were killed compared to whites.
Blacks are 13% of the popluation but commit over 45% of VIOLENT CRIMES. Ya’ll are a bunch of criminals. Most black people are getting killed by other black people, approximately 98% of blacks are being killed by other blacks BUT it’s the white mans fault? Its the cops fault? Ya’ll are criminal bunch and thats a fact. You can twist your “knowledge” all you want but facts are facts. Theres black people and then theres niggaz. Yep.
Again, what the fuck are your talking about? I posted in regards to statistics as it pertained to another poster. Did you just want to go off on a completely off-topic tangent about those so called “savage” negros? Thanks for the info, Bill O’Reilly.
Also, your 98% estimation is also wrong. It’s 89.3.
No shit more whites are killed by police. They make up nearly 60-65% of the population. Blacks, only 11-12%. Despite this, in 2015, only 732 whites were killed compared to 381 blacks. By population, more blacks were killed compared to whites.

You’ve just proven that you understand proportional statistics. Black folk make up 13% of the US population. Black men make up roughly half of that number, 6.5%. Why is it that 6.5% of the US population accounts for 45% of all murder? Let me guess, you’ve just lost your understanding of proportional statistics?
What the fuck are you talking about?
Why is it that, in terms of interracial murders, 500 whites were killed by blacks, versus 229 blacks killed by whites? The analysis states that (by population) whites make up 77% of the country vs 13% blacks. Let me guess, you too have just lost your understanding of “proportional” statistics? Maybe you’ll claim those whites were taking the initiative against potential, future crimes? LMAO.
Show me a civilized black neighborhood! Google Map it for us. Seriously. If not, is that white people’s fault? Bet it is according to the ignorant. Goole Map that ASAP. Sure, there are super crazy white people out there but the majority are civilized human beings. Just compare cultures if you don’t believe me.
WHAT A JOKE 85% OF BLACKS LIVE IN THE BURBS AND 8% LIVE ON THE NORTH SIDE. THEY ARE NOT BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS I GUESS BECAUSE WHITES ASIANS MEXICANS ALL LIVE THERE AS WELL.
And that would be the reason I love and respect this man so freaking much. He is so real and he has a lot of love and respect for many. A lot of people don’t really care but when can see that TIP does. My dude Clifford Harris is truly real!! Loved him since day one and will continue to.
LOL. HE’S A SNITCH
TI sucks balls
All this snitch TI does is whine. You locked many people up with you 40+ guns in trunk and your commercial. lol
just stfu already old man. You obsessed with Trump.
“A true champion is a man of the people. A true champion makes sacrifices for the people & takes a stand against injustices for those who may not be strong enough or able to do so.” …. This means black, whit, asian , indian…everyone … “All lives matter”..if you done like it, kill yourself
But who are the people being killed by the police as if they don’t matter, black people. Saying black lives matters does not negate the fact that all lives matter it’s just evident that black lives are the ones being taken by the police.
Black Lives Matter funded by George Soros
All Lives Matter Doesn’t solve the Problem “BLACK LIVES” are Facing Thank You T.I.P
@MDotTaylor
#Detroit
Got damn. I replied to the wrong poster.
BLM is a group funded by George Soros, to cause unrest and riots in the USA, and to keep blacks and whites from uniting. While we’re fighting w/ each other, the elitists and establishment politicians are screwing us all. There is not very much racism left, and lots of what IS blamed on racism, is actually just beef between the haves and have nots. Obama is a “have”, and you see how much he cares about the “have nots” being killed in his political hometown Chicago, right? We gotta stop letting them push us apart, cuz very soon, all Americans are gonna need all other Americans on THEIR SIDE, cuz it’s getting ready to hit the fan.
You must be white. I’ve only heard this comment from white people. I’m sorry but there is a lot of racism in the world.
Here’s a thought. Every time a police shooting protest takes place it’s resorts to property damage, violence and THEFT. What part of the game is that? And 99% of these protestors are on GOVERNMENT assistance. The same GOVERNMENT that they’re protesting against. I say if you’re on GOVERNMENT assistance, you’re a hypocrite. Give up those GOVERNMENT checks and assistance then protest. Look dumb as hell protesting against a GOVERNMENT that supports you.
IM GUESSING YOU DONT WATCH THE NEWS IF YOU DON THINK RACISM IS STILL ALIVE AND WELL. JUST TODAY SOME KIDS ATTACKED A MUSLIM AND STOLE HER HIJAB. ON TOP OF THAT OFTEN DO YOU SEE POSTS OF KIDS USING BLACK FACES AND SAYING THE N WORD. WHERE DO YOU THINK THEY LEARNED THIS FROM
man oh man.. bunch of ignorant folk in the comments here…of course, all lives matter. The point of blacklivesmatter is to point out injustices against black people. It could have better been named “blacklivesmattertoo”. regardless, TI being a punk because he is still bitter about that Floyd Mayweather and Tiny thing..
Then why has T.I. been glorifying selling drugs and guns in his music for so long. T.I. is such a hypocrite. T.I. has been selling drugs to his own people since he began! So why do BLM to him all of a sudden. Hypocrite.
Wish this certified snitch would retire already. Stay in the new San Francisco ATL and cling to your 15min
I think everybody should shut the fuck up these cops killing my people my nigga tip right black lives matter they ain’t the police ain’t shooting up all the other races so if u white please shut the fuck up and if u a brother or a sister get y’all shit together guess what these pussy ass police officers ain’t bout to shoot nobody in my city witch is ATLANTA THEY KNOW IT WILL BE WAR
*violin playing*
Saying BLM has done no-one any favors. If black lives matter Black people would not kill each other merciless every day. 98% of all blacks are getting killed by other blacks, thats fact. 2% of blacks are being killed by Cops. Ya’ll gon get mad at the 2% and not the 98%, which means your own selves? The fact is most pro-Black people are racist and don’t like white people. They blame white people bc they live in a dirty house and are bastard children, most of their parents are divorced and bastard children are usually always mad and angry at the world, lost.
T.I said this: “Freedom, equality, justice, human rights,qualities of life that have been withheld (or given out sparingly) from our people for generations (400 yrs approximately).”
T.I is reading a 200 year old book on slavery and repeating everything in 2016. It doesnt work that way. Go get an education and become a Lawyer like Obama, or become Attorney General like the other black guy. So many successful black people live in America but you wouldnt know that when you only watch BET And see black gypsie hoodlums on T.V . Open your eyes, thats not Black Culture.
BTW T.I just opened up the Biggest Strip Club in Atlanta for black girls to morally degrade themselves and destroy their future life. So how does BLack Lives Matter to a nigga like T.I? How? Just bc yo mama is a stripper doesnt make it right. All Lives Matter and if you dont like it then you are a racist.
1st off black people can’t be racist that requires power over anothers progression and economics within society, though blacks can be prejudice. 2nd white folks are not under inditment an shouldn’t be afraid of BLM. It’s the movement of our time. Acknowledge this an do something about it. These people are U.S citizens who what their rights recognized an equal treatment. 3rd lost futures to community violence is incomparable to criminal justice violence on community…b Healthy y’all
Black people CAN be racist and they do have power over anothers progession and economics within society. You act like there is no black CEO’s, lawyers, companies, managers etc. This is not the movie Roots nigga, its 2016 slavery time is over. My own father can’t get a supervisor position bc of a Black racist bitch and he’s over qualified for the position.. The racist bitch works in Human Resources and she ONLY hires blacks as supervisors. Racism to the fullest.
Here we go. You can’t even compare black wealth to white wealth. Blacks in the US have little to none compared to white society. A black lawyer in a white created and controlled justice system. You can’t name 5 black-owned companies off the top of your head. The second whites don’t get something, you scream reverse racism, when it had to be racism first from white folk……clown.
yeah i hear this bullshit all the time. but when i see some bummy white person call black ppl names you got black ppl crying for a week like SHES RACIST SHES RAYSISSSSS. yall use the racist card how you see fit so you can excuse yourselves of the racism you bring to the world currently as well as white folks.
It seems TI has forgotten Floyd can’t read
Wahhh! Wahh! fucking cry babies begging for more hand outs from a government they hate. Yeah, you’re so oppressed they HAVE to hire you or its discrimination. The only thing keeping you “oppressed” is felonie and a lack of education. Learn sbout your history before you talk about it! BLM was created by WHITE MAN to cause civil unrest and you imbeciles feel for it immediately. You let the same government you “hate” think for you and tell you how to act and feel. Black people CAN be racist dumbasses you do realize by you saying things like that you’re making yourself seem more important then other races and thats what you’re supposedly against? My god some people are so dumb idk how they remember to breathe! Fuck BLM the governments divide and conquer BS!
So true bro
My grandmother always said if you don’t have nothing good to say then keep your f**kin mouth shut………..
Wahh! Wahhh! Fucking cry babies begging for more hand outs from a government you “hate.” Yeah, you’re so oppressed companies HAVE to hire you or its discrimination. The only thing keeping you “oppressed” is felonies and a lack of education. Learn about your history before you talk about it! BLM was created by a WHITE MAN to cause civil unrest and you imbeciles fell for it immediately. You let the same government you “hate” think for you and tell you how to act and feel. Black people CAN be racist dumbasses you do realize by you saying things like that you’re making yourself seem more important then other races and thats what you’re supposedly against? My god some people are so dumb idk how they remember to breathe! Fuck BLM the governments divide and conquer BS!
You sir would have fit in perfectly in society back in the days of Jim Crowe and before when a black man could be lynched for just about any accusation made by a white person against him or her . Understand this back then there was a justice system just as there is one now . In that corrupt and morally bankrupt system and society they didn’t hang men and say well we hung a man to day for the hell of it . No . There was always some bs accusation or charge against the accused in order to allow you good white folks sleep good knowing that you live in a good and just society . Now just as back then you are offered some poppy cocky reason for why an unarmed man deserves to be lying dead along the roadways of America . Or a kid going to get skittles and a soda can be accosted by a self appointed neighborhood watchman . At best you are very insensitive to your fellow man . At worst you are just plainly racist . The statement Black lives matter is just a declaration to those who seem to not care about our lives ( which is the truth of the matter ) that we do matter . But true to form you exercise some stream of concience that allows you to somehow twist that as a declaration that all other races doesn’t matter when I’d ask you to point out in the phrase BLM where it says that other don’t . By the way are these the same felonies that was handed down to us for sitting at the lunch counter in a southern diner or are these the felonies we received for sitting in the front of the bus or whistling at a white woman or looking at her in the face . Or the lack of education we get here in my city where there hasn’t been a new school built in the little rock school district in 35 years but every rural town in my state has a new elementary middle and high school in the mostly white rural districts . Speaking of education I think it’s time for you to stop watching Fox News and going out on social media pretending to know something worth sharing and really educate yourself . #whiteliesmatter
Fuck c.i. fuckin rat
Don’t get so lost in personal possession or individual achievement that you lose sight of the things that are larger than all of us. Freedom, equality, justice, human rights,qualities of life that have been withheld (or given out sparingly) from our people for generations. ….. doesn’t this go for everybody? All lives for example. Fuckin dumb.
Exactly. Except these ignorant fools are to stupid to see the hypocracy of their own comments. It’s a joke.
I just don’t understand the issue with saying all lives matter, doesn’t that mean black people are a part of everyone else? You wanna know what’s sad? Lil’ Wayne says he’s never experienced racism, even explains his view as to why he feels that way…Instead of praising the fact that a black man has gone thru life and became successful without the adversity of racism, he gets ridiculed and dismissed as if his experiences don’t mean shit cuz they don’t fit the agenda. Keep keeping yourselves down, nobody cares anymore
Ti writes on a 4th grade level.
#RichLivesMatter
Love how TI makes himself look like a fool. Talking about for the people but really means only for black people. He uses the term our people. That is what divides and his racist thinking is part of the problem.
Any post regarding the #BlackLivesMatter movement on every social media forum is met with over a hundred critical comments per. Just like you can’t politicize social equality stop trying to force black people to drop the movement towards it… If you don’t consider yourself to be racist or prejudiced, then don’t get so offended.simple.
Anybody who supports the black lives matte bs is competitive racist but just far to stupid to understand that. Floyd is black. Clearly. And he is correct. All lives matter. Black people saying black lives matter couldn’t be more prejudice and racist. They are what is wrong with this country. It’s like they so badly want the attention and are seeing that segregation and racism was trending downward and they have to bring right back into the mix. We have a black president but yet that is not good enough. There is racism against all races depending on what part of the country you are in. But the fact that these morons are creating more racism is just pathetic. And sad. You know who else had it bad in the past? People that could be complaining today? I’m sure you know so I don’t need to say. It’s just sad how ignorant some people can be to not see the hypocracy in their own stupid “movement”. TIs response was by far one of the most ignorant things i have ever read. To tell somebody, no you are wrong for saying all lives matter cause only the black ones do. Are you fucking kidding me? Look at all these fools seeking attention. Of course it’s the broke ass bench warming types seeking it.
Blacklivesmatter, T.I.? Wasn’t this same idiot put in jail for having fully automatic weapons AND SILENCERS? Was he planning on using those silencers for SELF DEFENSE? As a convicted felon? LOL? He didn’t want to give his agressors a earache while murdering them? LOL. Those guns and silencers were intended for everyone but black people? Or were they for ALLlIVES? This BLM BS is putting more black people in prison than ever before. Congratulations, you fell for the okey doke. Dummies. What about all of the latinos being killed?
