Mike Tyson's Legacy

Mike Tyson's Legacy







Let me start this off by saying that I am not a boxing fan.  I don't watch boxing, nor do I keep up with the latest boxing stats, and I cannot name the last 3 boxing champions, but everyone knows Mike Tyson.  I grew up with an older brother that enjoyed watching boxing and I was forced to hear about it.  And then my dad bought us boxing gloves and he would either get to be Evander Holyfield, but I always had to be George Forman.  

We would box to learn how to defend ourselves and my brother would always emulate these boxers' famous moves including Mike Tyson's uppercut.  A move he was allegedly contracted to not perform in this latest boxing match (performance, publicity stunt, money grab) with a youtuber that shall not be named here.  

It's been alleged that Mike Tyson was contracted to not knock out his opponent and to not perform key moves in the fight.  I must say it was disappointing to hear about his loss.  A part of my childhood memories meant a little less--I don't know why or how to explain it.  

Honestly the match was not the highlight of this fight in my opinion.  Before the match took place, Tyson did an interview with a young reporter who asked about his legacy and his response to her had many on the internet shocked.  They commented saying did he forget that he was talking to a young person.  His demeanor and response came across as detached and negative.  Check out the interview and my response in the video above.

Black Men Address Kamala Harris + Roland Martin discussion with Black Men + A Black Woman's Response

Black Men Address Kamala Harris + Roland Martin discussion with Black Men + A Black Woman's Response Watch the video and check out my response below.  Share your thoughts in the comment section. In response to the discussions presented in both videos, Roland Martin’s pushback against the narrative that black women in political power neglect black men’s needs highlights the complex relationship between gender, politics, and accountability within the black community. Martin’s insistence on relying on data, particularly regarding education and resource distribution, emphasizes that many of these claims may not be rooted in fact but in perception. It points to a larger conversation about how black men and women experience and navigate systems differently, though they are often impacted by similar forces. The TikTok video responds more directly to the lack of accountability some black men display, calling out the cyclical nature of excuses. The woman in the video argues that black men ...

More information comes out about Tik Tok ban.

More information comes out about Tik Tok ban. The potential TikTok ban in the U.S. has stirred up a lot of emotions, especially for those who rely on the platform for entertainment, connection, or even income. Earlier this year, many were caught off guard by the possibility of losing access to the app, as Congress cited concerns about its impact on teenagers. Recent documents reveal that TikTok was aware of the platform’s addictive nature and its harmful effects, particularly on young users, which adds a new layer to the conversation. It’s alarming to see that not only was the platform aware of these issues, but the harm was reportedly intentional. From my experience as a TikTok user, I can agree that the platform can have negative effects, even when the content itself seems harmless or positive. Spending too much time on any app can be damaging, especially when it pulls you in without you realizing how much time you’ve spent. It’s a reminder that we all need to be mindful of how ...
