Floyd just likes being in a position to remind us how broke we are (vs. Him)

True. On the low, racism doesn't even affect a recognizably wealthy celeb like him.

This has been Floyd for years. Completely different person when the camera is in front of him. He likes and embraces being the villain because he knows controversy sells. All of those posts of his money, watches, buying Gucci, etc is way for him to stay relevant and at the top of peoples minds.

When you reach a certain level of wealth you don't see color anymore. All you see is checks.

Keep telling yourself that.

Yeah. Trying to stay socially relevant for as long as possible

Oprah Winfrey given Swiss apology for 'racist treatment' over handbag
Billionaire media mogul says Zurich shop assistant refused to show bag, saying it was too expensive for her

Adam Gabbatt in New York

The Swiss tourism board has apologised to Oprah Winfrey, after the media mogul experienced her own "Pretty Woman" moment while shopping for a $38,000 handbag.

Winfrey, who is one of the world's richest women, claimed in an interview with the US television show Entertainment Tonight that a shop assistant at a Zurich fashion store had refused to show her the bag, claiming it was "too expensive".

Lol that pap gave Floyd the least amount of information possible. He explained the issue about as poorly as anyone could.

He set Floyd up and Floyd walked right into that one.

actually if you look footage wise cuts were made so it looks like floyd was then made aware of situation at hand between shoots.

It doesn't affect him the same way it does us but def still affects him

Well all things considered with Floyd he’s too dumb to ever know it so dude has a point. Fan of the dude in the ring but he’s dumb as all be it anywhere else

Anyone with enough critical thinking skills, could tell you that tmz interview was staged.

[iamdef]

That means nothing to my post

 

[ninjahood]

yeah, as in it positively effects his bank account.

 

[iamdef]

.............aight

 

[sooperhooper]

It may still affect him to some extent of course, but it's marginal compared to the average Joe.

People know that Floyd has money and status that can easily change their life, so they treat him differently.

This is a loaded topic with layers that's probably not fit for this board but here's an interesting tidbit:

We seriously doubt that Guccio Gucci ever wanted his brand to be synonymous with 21st century African American cultural aesthetics when he established The House of Gucci in Florence, Italy in 1921.

This is ironic when you consider the fact that Florence, Italy became a haven for high fashion and design through the efforts of 16th century Moorish monarch and fashionista Alessandro de Medici (July 22, 1510 – January 6, 1537). Gucci’s current creative director is Alessandro Michele whose hand is pictured below.

Poster boy for the fall. Notice how he slowed down, then stated that Black lives matter, first. That comment was an investment for him, covering his ***. Once the big noise against Gucci and these other luxury brands begin, he'll refer back to that comment if his actions are questioned.
