I think these black celebrities need to show more enthusiasm for what it means to be black.... and be black and proud.... not black and timid.
I understand if you're not a revolutionary, but stop trying to easy away from your blackness. This aint Brazil or the DR. -
She just saying what most black celebrities want to say
Man she saying what ALL Black celebrities who don't stand up against social injustice and racism want to say. It's either "I don't ? wit y'all like that" or "I got no real hustle or heart to bounce back or take a loss and I'm finally getting this paper and acceptance, so don't ? it up for me."
Damn Leila. smh
She really said she don't want to step on any toes?! War has been declared on us and she worried about offending the enemy?!
This is not the way to honor your father's legacy Leila. -

But I remember seeing an interview where Muhammed Ali was talking about all the money he could have made and opportunities he could have had for himself if he didn't wanna speak out on certain things. But instead he said he loves his people more than the money.
So it's crazy to me that that same mans own daughter comes out and does a complete 180 and says some dumb ? like this.
@eastbay510 everybody is different. One of his daughters got married to a white man. And the kid next to her is ali grandson
Yeah I understand that. I ain't even mad at his other daughter to be real.
But I just expected more from Laila -
? her

She should've left the last point out and interpreted it a different way by saying we should all come together of all races and find a neutral ground to handle this issue on hand without using social media to convey our point.
I have one question...
WHY?
Now that I look back at it, I sound more like a talented ? . Disregard this post. -
Let her live...lol!!!
-
There is a way to address the issue without alienating anyone. Look at Steve Kerr’s response. He put the responsibility on those who are not affected and choose to ignore the issue. He didn’t say any ? about black on black crime or all lives matter.
Steve Kerr: 'I'd hope every American is disgusted' by police-related shootings.
disappointed by black celebrities bending over backwards to not offend anyone
-
? her
-
She doesn't want to lose her white fans and money... what a way to live
-
? get a hand from ? to make a Lil money and lose they got damn mind. Layla Ali ? Ali shuffling who woulds thought Smh
-
That's just a ? shame when a Caucazoid muhfucker who's been chin-checked by Jordan got more ? to speak out on black people been shot up by pigs than Ali's own chin-checkin ass daughter.
-
She doesnt even have that "cross over appeal" smh this ? is disturbing ... public figure after public figure out here tiptoeing..
-
Most, not all but most of her recent tweets feature pictures of the white ppl she doesn't want to lose by speaking up for her pplThis is shocking
-
Whos her sponsers? For real she stopped boxing forever ago, and i kno ppl aint checkin for her on any other tip, hell even boxing nobody really gave a ? , so wtf does she even do anymore??

The dollar can bottom out any day, and the cooning that they have done will be for nothing. Hell, I've been broke, and would rather live mediocre and uplift my people than to live upscale and still be unequal with my people struggling.

For all of all our troubles and issues...through our trials and tribulations and our enemies being black is a blessing not a curse

while that admirable.. he should say nothing if he was gonna say that ? he said... because at the end of the day these very same kids can still meet the fate of many.. before college in college.. these issues are connected and stick the symbolic gestures and or working elswhere -
Lebron actions speak louder than his unthoughtful words... he puts in workShizlansky wrote: »Is she at least doing ? to help out the black community?

From her own mouth, Laila is a plain sell out -
MOST RICH BLACK PEOPLE are only a generation away from poverty and it is fear of going back to being poor that prevents us from publicly saying certain things and that sad fact is doubly so for those of us with fame
-
Everyone ain't built for it
-
@rapmusic ...U got it buddy. This is going to be they're angle now.

But be honest y'all. How many of y'all would basically " ? y'all money up" by speaking up on some ? like this. Black Lives don't matter 2 us fam. This ain't no finger wagging either. Just hold a mirror up to the community. I ain't throwing my ? on the line or out the window for a race of muthafuckas I know (I'm a brother so I can speak on it) deep down only give half a ? . Just want doe themselves and move out and do the same ? everybody else black with $ does. If we were really about that talk and not that life, we'd have successfully blacks assisting us left and right. But black people know other black people. We can't fool us. I feel her on this one. Now! Some like Serena are just tired of the ? and that's next level thinking right there. But we gotta put up first by showing we care in our communities first or ? ! I'd be a little tepid as well but behind the scenes would be doing Hella ? covertly.
