For Mr. T., there are good reasons for his gold chains, hairstyle, earrings, in fact for everything
His explanation for wearing gold is closely connected to the African slaves who were forced to wear iron chains. Mr. T. states in his biography that the chains reminded him of his great African ancestors “who were brought here as slaves with iron chains on their ankles, on their wrists, their necks and sometimes around their waists. I turned my chains into gold, so my statement is this: the fact that I wear gold chains is because I’m still a slave, only my price tag is higher now. I’m still bought and sold by the powers that be in this society, white people, but this time they pay me on demand, millions and millions of dollars for my services.”

As mentioned, his hairstyle is an important part of his signature look and as written in an article published by The Harvard Crimson, Mr. T.’s hairstyle was inspired by the Mandinka warriors who are descendants of the great Mali Empire.

The number three is also of great significance for his signature look. Mr. T. told The Harvard Crimson that the three earrings he wore on his right ear symbolize “the father, the son, and the holy ghost, the three wise men, the three Hebrew boys – Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed’nego – the three parts of the day, morning, noon, and night, the three days Jesus was in the tomb, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the three graces, Faith, Hope, and Love, the three motions, slow motion, moderate motion and fast motion, water comes in three forms… The inscription written on Jesus’s head when he died was written in three languages, Greek, Hebrew, and Latin, it said here lies the king of the Jews, Jesus was on the cross six hours, three hours in the day, three hours at night… The three is also for the Civil Rights workers.”

In his left ear, he wore four earrings, which symbolized the four seasons, the four directions, and the four gospel writers. All told, Mr. T. wore seven earrings, which for him symbolized the seven times that Joshua marched around the town of Jericho, and also that Samson had seven strands or locks of hair. He’s also honoring the seven colors of the rainbow and the biblical story that God rested on the seventh day.

However, everything changed in 2005, when Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast. Mr. T. witnessed for himself the devastating consequences of this natural disaster. It touched him so deeply that he decided to stop wearing the heavy jewelry out of respect for those suffering.

I can't find the link now, but the reason his name is Mr. T is because he saw his father and brother being disrespected by being called "boy" even though they were grown men. So he made sure everyone that uttered his name had to call him Mister.
