did floyd come off a bit racist on Face off?

Nothing wrong with supporting your own. I used to support Floyd, till he started acting like a bitch.

Useless Argument.....99% of all people who watch boxing root for their fellow countrymen, the other 1% who follow boxing root for their favs regardless of color or origin. Some of us actually do both!! I think that everyone discriminates one way or another. I don't think that his comment was out of line though....

african american is stupid.. Moorish american or god are better names Original man. ex: Floyd mayweather, a man of original origin is fighting , ricky hatton, a caucasoid. see?

black is the white man's label for a certain skin color Filipino Canadian Mexican <---- Nationalities rephrase your argument Racially speaking, mexicans are obviously a combination of native indian and white spainaird, alot filiipinos also have chinese and spanish ancestery, identifying them by their nationality is the only conceivable way to break it down in a general argument since youd be forcing me to divide between racially mixed and indigenous populations, for instance, my girlfriend was born in mexico, but she is pure native, yet she is not identified as a "native indeginous person of mexican descent" no, its just mexican. i also didint mention canadians.

people always whine about this when it comes to blacks. for some reason, its all good for filipino fight fans to band together, for mexican fight fans to band together. you get ppvs like latin fury, pinoy power. boricua this, mexican warrior that. but let a black man want to see his fellow brother succeed, and all of the sudden its an issue. people fly flags of other countries on our soil. some fighters even exchange one nationality for another (brian viloria). All hes saying is that hes happy a black american won the fight, and of course, its an issue. fukk that. I didint like mayweather xenophobic comments towards pacquiao being from a 3rd world country but in context it wasnt racist, just slightly ignorant. he also didint "disrespect" pinoy reporters, he has the right to not talk to them, but they werent banned at all. regardless, i myself wouldnt give any love to any media whom i knew would trash me. look what obama did with fox news for a bit. in america we have that right, get over that shit. black is the white man's label for a certain skin color Filipino Canadian Mexican <---- Nationalities rephrase your argument

why do you defend every single ridiculous statement that comes out of floyds mouth? why? I could have sworn i had you on ignore. I guess since youre stupid ass got banned because you cant keep a civil, normal, human conversation, you are relagated to aliases and dodging the ban system in order to do youre daily cock sukk ritual with floyd mayweather. Fukk off.

not at all

i think you are not really understanding what racism is, to start. Racism is negative. He did not wish bad things to happen to another race, he was just happy to see another successful black american. nothing wrong with that I dont think.

This thread is exactly why a lot of the world is as fvcked up as it is today. People using the race card, because one person says he supports someone that looks like him? :thumbsdow That's a big fvcking surprise. This shit happens all the time in boxing. Even on this forum. Is anyone surprised when British people root for British fighters. When Pinoy's root for Pinoy's. When African American's root for Black fighters. Or when Caucasian's root for the Klit brothers? Hell no, no one is surprised. I'm not saying people will ALWAYS go for their own race because that's a flat out lie, but believe it or not people have the freedom of choice. No need to sugar coat it, or be politically correct about it. Rooting for your own countrymen is what make's Boxing differ and actually have depth to it, when you compare it to something like say the UFC. It's contradictory because boxing feeds off both ethnocentrism and diversity.

its patriotism but for Mayweather to degrade Filipino reporters and the whole P.I. country is racist The reporter thing was bull.

I'm no scientist or doctor but I'm sure we are genetically inclined to root for those similar to ourselves. I root for Pac cuz his got a mouth a nose and 2 ears like myself lol But yeh this would be right....

For example you root for your country in the world cup, many Pacquiao fans root for Manny cause hes Filipino... that doesn't make them racist does it?

He said the only reason he pulled for Shane was because he was a Black American! come on now! We have Mexican American, Asian American, Italian American, White American, and the list goes on! But Floyd only pulls for Black American's! Why not pull or pass torches to other color Americans! Do you think that is a form of Racism or not? Please explain, because i dont see color of skin important and especially in the ring. He didn't say he only supports black Americans at all, he just said he rooted for Shane in this case cause he was black American... I dissagreed with the black part but I wont go against him for rooting for an American over a Mexican, same reason fighters like Calzaghe would of rooted for Hatton against Floyd. Floyd made a few statements in the past that I really dissagreed with (racial ones) and I called him out on them, but I didn't see too much wrong with this one, only that he rooted for someone of the same background as him over a guy from another country, people root for there country all the time... but the black part probably didn't do him any favors.

he just getting behind one of his people dosent everyone do that? Floyd likes to get behind one of his peoples in a different type of way just ask Ellebre Ring Sting pon him rasshole.... lol

he just getting behind one of his people dosent everyone do that?

TS is stupid. Stop with the BS threads. WHy do pinoys love Pacquiao? Why do mexicans love chavez? Why did black people love Ali? Why did puerto ricans love Trinidad? Noithing racist about that. You are just reaching. its patriotism but for Mayweather to degrade Filipino reporters and the whole P.I. country is racist

only Floyd and B-Hopkins can make statements like that

TS is stupid. Stop with the BS threads. WHy do pinoys love Pacquiao? Why do mexicans love chavez? Why did black people love Ali? Why did puerto ricans love Trinidad? Noithing racist about that. You are just reaching.
