Deontay Wilder has been uncharacteristically quiet for the past few months, but only needed a minute—literally—to let his voice be heard loud and clear.

A video posted on his verified Twitter account showed the Tuscaloosa, Alabama heavyweight standing in the middle of the road, sporting a red hoodie which read ‘Fighting ‘Til This Day’—a way of life he has long ago adopted and chose to remind the universe.

“It isn’t about Blacks Vs Whites, It’s about Blacks Vs Racism,” Wilder (42-1-1, 41KOs) stated in a tweet accompanying his minute-long video statement on what’s currently taking place in the United States.

“‘TIL THIS DAY. As if 400 years of slavery wasn’t enough. From the womb, as a black man we were born to be tough. Lynched, whipped, burned was a thing of the past but ‘TIL THIS DAY—jail, rape, gun, how long will it last? “As if Malcolm X and MLK wasn’t a must. As Eric Garner, Breonna Taylor, Trayvon Martin all died from just being us!”

“Dark like molasses, black like the night,” Wilder continued. “United we stand, together we fight. Fighting for Ahmaud Arbery and all of the others. Tell me, why y’all killing our sisters and brothers ‘TIL THIS DAY!

“I don’t remember a time when none of my people did anything to you people, other than work hard and try to be equal. Now y’all mad at protests and riots? We showed you nothing but peace. We’re done being quiet.”

I've always liked Wilder, still do. Has always entertained me..

One of the reasons I actually like the guy, if his way of words. He's a poet.

He actually makes sense, You'd think, 'is he making stuff up on the spot?'. Either way..

RESPECT.

lol he tweeted like a week ago

Really? What do you find so smart from him? he's loud but I don't find him clever at all. he's pretty meh on commentary and he got out talked easily by TGK, clearly not that good on the fly and defo better for predone bits where he can yell and grimace

How to Win Friends and Influence People.

by multimillionaire boxer Deontay Wilder.*

He later explained he didn't really intend it to be a declaration of civil war, and naturally enough feels nothing but sympathy for all those inconvenienced by the rioting and looting.

Furthermore he promises a large Tyson Furyesque donation in support of his chosen cause.


*The identity of his ghost writer remains unknown.

Those were great words. I'm with him.

Now if he'd just stop screaming BOMB SQUAD..........

... and he is not popular because of racism. Blame all your problems on racism.

Personally I'm amused when he screams BOMB SQUAD.

I like Wilder but perhaps he doesn't want to admit to himself he doesn't get endorsements because of the way he comes across.

I'm not saying it's right, but corporate America wants black athletes to come across like SR Leonard and yes OJ came across in the 1970s. If you could fit Tim Bradley into DW's brain, he would get endorsements.

Wilder's brain is too small for that.

I don't know if Wilder is stupid but he is too "street" for most endorsements.
