He's the perfect example of what happens when you let white America control your mind.
This interview shows them simply feeding off his achievements and legacy to push their agenda.
The American Dream, Americana, Patriotism etc ..
I feel like we as black people should've done more to protect him from these vultures.

George Foreman grilled Colin Kaepernick and Kevin Durant about their lack of patriotism.
The former heavyweight champion boxer and grill salesman slammed Kaepernick and Durant on the "Offended America" podcast for not being patriotic, and lauded President Trump's performance as commander-in-chief.
"(Kaepernick and Durant) haven't been brought up with people who were patriotic to even point them in the right direction," Foreman stated, referencing Kaepernick's National Anthem protests and Durant's refusal to visit the White House.
"Some of them are trying to make a point, it's like look at me, I'm trying to say something. You gotta respect that, too," he continued.
Foreman also explained how many people died to allow for the privilege of reciting the National Anthem.
When asked about Durant's recent comments about not visiting the White House, he told a story about how he doesn't have a photo with Richard Nixon, because he was "ignorant” and wouldn’t support to the candidate over his plans to end the Job Corps.
"Your guy doesn't win and you figure something is wrong, I'm not going to like the guy. I'm against him and everything but that's all there is, sore loser. Sore loser," he continued. "I was one."
The grilling entrepreneur praised Trump for his business skills, noting POTUS pulled him out of bankruptcy by putting on the pay-per-view fight between him and Evander Holyfield in 1991.
"I was broke, too. Bankrupt. Put me back, he was part of writing those checks, so I could be on the wealthy side again. So I'll always be grateful to the entrepreneur Donald Trump," he said. "And now President Donald Trump."
"He's a good President. A lot of people don't like him, but evidently more do, because he was elected President of the United States."
Foreman also noted that he almost wasn't able to win the fight that night because Trump gave him such great meals and accommodations ahead of the event.

Are you fucking kidding me? This took place at the same Olympic games that John Carlos and Tommy Smoth raised the fist at the medal ceremony to protest the treatment of blacks in America and this flag wave was Georges protest of the protestors. Educate yourself!

educate myself? Out of the hundreds of black Olympian champions, how many held up a fist? How many did NOT have some form of a flag on? You need to wise up.
Being a coon is one thing, being confused when a so-called American has some form of a flag on when receiving a metal is asinine
Shut up bitch
Lamb, you can't chop it up here.
Go eat tots and wings, you damn children's menu cookin ass clown
Foreman raised that flag at THIS Olympics. If you need more convincing than this iconic photo then you're being purposely disingenuous or you are a cac or a troll. Either way, I give up!
Olympic Athletes Who Took a Stand
For 40 years, Olympians Tommie Smith and John Carlos have lived with the consequences of their fateful protest
By David Davis
When the medals were awarded for the men's 200-meter sprint at the 1968 Olympic Games, Life magazine photographer John Dominis was only about 20 feet away from the podium. "I didn't think it was a big news event," Dominis says. "I was expecting a normal ceremony. I hardly noticed what was happening when I was shooting."
Smith and Carlos, winners of the gold and bronze medals, respectively, in the event, had come to the ceremony dressed to protest: wearing black socks and no shoes to symbolize African-American poverty, a black glove to express African-American strength and unity. (Smith also wore a scarf, and Carlos beads, in memory of lynching victims.) As the national anthem played and an international TV audience watched, each man bowed his head and raised a fist. After the two were banished, images of their gesture entered the iconography of athletic protest.
"It was a polarizing moment because it was seen as an example of black power radicalism," says Doug Hartmann, a University of Minnesota sociologist and the author of Race, Culture, and the Revolt of the Black Athlete: The 1968 Olympic Protests and Their Aftermath. "Mainstream America hated what they did."
The United States was already deeply divided over the Vietnam War and the civil rights movement, and the serial traumas of 1968—mounting antiwar protests, the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, the beating of protesters during the Democratic National Convention by Chicago police—put those rifts into high relief. Before the Olympics, many African-American athletes had talked of joining a boycott of the Games to protest racial inequities in the United States. But the boycott, organized by sociologist Harry Edwards, never came off.
As students at San Jose State University, where Edwards was teaching, Smith and Carlos took part in that conversation. Carlos, born and raised in Harlem, was "an extreme extrovert with a challenging personality," says Edwards, now emeritus professor of sociology at the University of California at Berkeley. Smith, the son of sharecroppers who grew up in rural Texas and California, was "a much softer, private person." When they raised their fists on the medals stand, they were acting on their own.
Among the Games athletes, opinions were divided. Australia's Peter Norman, the winner of the silver medal in the 200-meter sprint, mounted the podium wearing a badge supporting Edwards' organization. Heavyweight boxer George Foreman—who would win a gold medal and wave an American flag in the ring—dismissed the protest, saying, "That's for college kids." The four women runners on the U.S. 400-meter relay team dedicated their victory to the exiled sprinters.
But both men insist they have no regrets about 1968. "I went up there as a dignified black man and said: ‘What's going on is wrong,' " Carlos says. Their protest, Smith says, "was a cry for freedom and for human rights. We had to be seen because we couldn't be heard."

KTVU News report from November 1968 featuring a press conference with new Olympic Gold medalist heavyweight boxer George Foreman, who reflects on the Black Power salutes made by athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos on the Olympic podium. Foreman himself held up an American flag in the boxing ring, after beating Jonas Čepulis for his gold medal, which drew criticism from some elements of the Black community. Foreman says he respects the actions of his fellow athletes, stating a belief that: "In the United States you got the right to follow who you are and be what you want. You may not realize it but it exists." Also includes brief scenes of Foreman being driven past crowds and entering a gymnasium for a welcome reception.

So fucking what?! These men decided to protest, others didn't! With your foolish logic, the other 29 black Olympic champions in THAT olympics who did NOT hold up a black power fist are also coons!Foreman raised that flag at THIS Olympics. If you need more convincing than this iconic photo then you're being purposely disingenuous or you are a cac or a troll. Either way, I give up!
If you don't want to represent your country in the olympics then don't fucking show up! if you show up then you are representing that country! Period! Those black power guys were here representing America just as foreman!
When foreman won and they gave him a flag, should he have stomped on the flag and given a nazi salute?
Maybe you're the cac or the troll. Was every single dream team champion who were draped in the American flag a coon? What if kapernick was in those olympics and he took a knee, would that make everyone else a coon?
Nigga you're a child arguing with a grown man. Go be angry and rebel against every one who isn't militant.
Pitiful
he better keep his mouth shut.. or we'll stop buying his grills. air fryers for life!!!
I cant remember the last time Ive seen one of his grills.
