Mayweather is similiar to Obama and has exposed to racist

Mayweather doesn't give a flying f*ck about black people, he cares about one thing & one thing only. MONEY

It is very racist to insinuate that everyone who supports trump is white and is racist. I will provide 100% proof that this is wrong. Stop whinging and go and help people in the real world. BTW I'm not American and couldn't care less who you vote in. If you're poor or close to it then your getting screwed over either way... Look at the abuse he gets at the end. Shouting loud doesn't make you right. They're calling Trump racist and saying they should stick together because they're black, IN THE SAME SENTENCE. LOL. What a mess this bunch of flannels are, getting completely schooled in critical thinking and logic by a kid. There you go, 100% proof. I'm embarrassed for these people with sense who try to talk reason, only to be shouted and threatened in return as those arguing have no factual evidence to present, and are running off pure emotion and speculation. I'm not arguing for Trump, but it's clear from an objective viewpoint who is smarter in these videos, and who the emotional wrecks are. Hey OP, guess which other black man supports Trump LOL.

He along with Obama changed the game, they were great at what they did and were only hated by racist who were mad a black man was on top. That is why Trump is getting support because the racist people have been exposed..similiar to how lesser talented fighters who accomplish far less then Mayweather get praised while Floyd was slammed for fighting high level comp.. It is hilarious and it is clear as day that racism is behind it, YEA I SAID IT YA'LL ARE FVCKING RACIST.. You call other fighters great who have not even done more then fvcking Berto, yet slam Floyd for fighting Berto for his retirement fight. Go vote for Trump and show your true colors"MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" yea we know what that means-translation=make a white man president again... Black people are racist too. There is racism in all colors but you're the type that only sees racism on one side(the white side). Obama is a very smart man but he chose race over logic with some of the idiots getting shot.

Wtf is this shi t Larry? Way to go

Although the original post is somewhat convoluted it is not entirely wrong. We have seen an uptick in overt racism since Obama's election and even moreso after his reelection. It's as if many Americans lost their minds at the site of a black President. Floyd Mayweather's success is further proof of the race problem in America. Floyd was able to make millions off of people who bought his fights in hopes to see him lose. I understand that half of the people who watch Floyd paid to see him lose but to make the absurd amount of money he you would need A LOT of hate. And we would be fools to think Floyd is not hated in part because of race.

I agree with you. Don't get me wrong. I was indeed saying that the main cause, even for some of your counter-arguments, is poverty...not racism. But I was also pointing out that some, not all, of the reasons that poverty exists is because of racism. There is a clear link between racism and poverty. Here's a quote from a good article that discusses the matter: "Racial or ethnic minorities are disproportionately affected by poverty; and the lack of education, adequate housing and health care transmits poverty from generation to generation, a United Nations rights expert has said." http://www.socialwatch.org/node/16324 And I wouldn't blame White people for these issues. I would more so blame...I don't know...America, I guess is the best way to put it. And 100% agree. Obama is half white, half black. In America, there is the one drop rule...which means he is considered Black for some strange reason. You have to admit, America is one strange, messed up place. I'm not going to say people's feelings about Mayweather have nothing to do with racism. Just as if you go on the message boards at ESPN and see the things they say about Serena Williams...you wonder where that is coming from. Many Americans side with European Whites against her. I can't explain that away without believing it's about racism. But at the same time, I do agree with most of what you're saying, and I think there are tons of reasons to dislike Mayweather. Some do hate him because of prejudice, though. Oh, and I'm not sure who said Ali was loved....but Ali in his day was probably hated even more than Mayweather. lol. Again, I think we are mostly on the same page. Yeah, again, racism exists and some people are racist and those people need to be shamed if they act upon their ignorant beliefs. I mean personally, I don't really like Serena because she wins all the time and it gets boring, the same reason I don't like Djokovic! But yeah, I am sure there are people that don't like certain people because they are racist... but I am also sure that is a very very small minority of people and nowhere near the level of institutionalised racism. And yeah, Ali WAS hated... and America did USED to be an openly racist country... and in fact during WW2, Americans would be appalled at us Brits when they were stationed in the UK, for letting black men drink in the pubs with us, and because we didn't treat them as second class citizens. But this isn't the case anymore and people love Ali and people love Robinson etc etc... My point was, if people don't rate Floyd because he is black, then why do we rate so many other African Americans over White Americans? And the answer is, because there is no racist agenda in the boxing communities to suppress the greatness of a fighter due to the amount of pigment he has in his skin... Anyway, yeah, I think we agree about most things here and that ultimately Larry is wrong.

Well thats the problem with people these days. People are extremely short-sighted and want to pin a label on people for anything. I'm not Trump supporter, well i'm not American anyway but i'd probably be considered a socialist by most, but i hate the fact people can't have an opinion or see some sense from the opposite side without being labeled a racist or whatever.. It's just ignorant. There's no balance in peoples thoughts, no rational thinking. Everybody is super sensitive these days too, or have a lot of faux-outrage at least and want to brand people something for having an opinion. That's a reason why it's hard to find people to have a good balanced intelligent conversation or even debate with. Unfortunately our society has created a group of people with a victim mentality quickly blaming others for their short-comings. It's embarrasing being a part of a generation where having a different opinion is labeled as hate speech.

Glad to see you still holdin' it down bro!

I think you guys are missing out on what is important when you mention this statement. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with the statement per se. I'm not saying that America is inherently racist, but there are a number of reasons that Obama won election, and re-election, like: Overwhelming support from new voters and voters under 30 Multicultural voters helped LOTS --Hispanic (66% of Hispanic vote in 1st election) and African American votes (95% of AA vote in first election) were huge Being focused on the economy/healthcare as opposed to on terror, which resonated with voters at the time he was elected the hang-over from the Bush presidencies His stance on pro-choice, woman's health, marriage rights Made whites feel comfortable with him being that he is a family man, says the right things, and never played into race dialogue, even at this moment All of this even with nearly half of the republicans believing he is muslim and not a real American! With all that being said, it's crazy to take his presidency and try to equate that to America not having a race problem. The race problem in America is OBVIOUS. Again, I'm not attacking you and I hear what you're saying and think it comes from a good place, but I think the statistics you give are misleading. No one is saying that Black people should not take responsibility for their actions, but let's not ignore the differences here. Inner city schools in America are atrocious, with regards to the quality. I remember going to classes in public schools in New York that didn't have proper textbooks. I went to one advance placement class that blatantly didn't have the teacher show up for months! Again, this is not an excuse, as I myself went on to an Ivy League university, but I'm just saying. The average opportunities for Blacks is far lower than the average opportunity for whites. I was in New York of all places. Imagine the schools in New Orleans, as I volunteered in some years later in my life. There is a black on black crime rate of about 90%. There is a white on white crime rate of about 83%. People that commit crime against others do it mostly against people they know, and against people they live alongside! Furthermore, not necessarily for you, the intraracial crime rate has absolutely NOTHING to do with whether police officers should eschew their duty, which is to protect and serve, not kill and harass. The point I'm trying to make is, your statistics don't take into account the poverty that exists in the inner cities, the lack of resources there, and what the country can do to help there. We know that there are places that are less likely to accept African American families with regard to real-estate. We know that African Americans are profiled at a much higher rate than whites. We know that AA's are something like 20% more likely to be killed in a confrontation with police. We know that criminal offenses carry higher sentences for crimes that poor people commit as opposed to other crime (white collar crime? Crimes involving crack vs. cocaine). Plenty of Black Americans have gone on despite being born into those conditions to be successful, but think about how many were born there and were unable to make it out due to various reasons. Simply put, it's not impossible, but it's harder. Sorry for rambling, and thank you for anyone who made it through that. Not sure what any of this had to do with Mayweather, but you'd have to ask the OP about that. lol Just my 2 cents. Respect. Yes, I agree with a lot of what you have said, I am not blaming black people for any failures that are derived from poverty or anything like that. I am merely saying, you can't mix up failures of poverty and cultural failings on the white man and claim systematic racism, it is absurd, offensive and ridiculous. I mean, to directly counter a couple of your points is... 1. Showing 95% of black Americans voted for Obama the first time around doesn't really show anything. It just shows that black people were desperate for a black president. White people make up the majority of America and a non-white (because make no mistake, Obama is mixed race, not black) president got elected, that is just the simple fact of it. 2. Showing the number of white on white crime... again, this doesn't conclude anything about racism. It doesn't tackle why 13% of a population are responsible (and found guilty) for 50% of the murders in America... that is staggering. Again, none of what you have said about why black people are less likely to achieve, says anything about racism, which is why I agree with what you are saying, but not with your conclusions. You are saying: Reason = Poverty Conclusion = Racism of the system If you read what you wrote (beyond the Obama bit) there is no mention, not one solitary mention or link to racism... it is all just poverty and culture. America has a horrible poverty problem.... and it used to be racist institutionally in the past... but since the civil rights movement? No, sorry... that is a fallacy. It is the same for any other country... I was not born in London, I was born out in the countryside... there are less opportunities in terms of making money, than there are if I was born in London. I am white, but a black man who lives in London, is likely to make more money than a white man from outside of London. This is just the way things are, it has nothing to do with racism, it is to do with location. That stat I gave about single black motherhood rate being at 70%... the shocking thing about that stat is that it has risen to that number from 20% since the civil rights movement... so you can see a regression in a group of people, since the country actually became less racist. So again, my point of my original post was that you can't just blame racism for certain failures of society (and yes, these are failures of the whole society), these are problems that stem from a whole spectrum of reasons, and to conclude that a system or institution is racist is a joke... blame the system for favouring the rich.. (which again, is what happens with almost any system)... but don't blame white people... because again, these things are divisive and they ostracise communities... and is kind of how the holocaust started... blaming a race of people for problems that are much more complex. But yeah, the post was in response to Larry who seems to think Floyd doesn't get his due because of racism and not all the reasons there are to not like Floyd. The simple response would be... okay well if people don't think Floyd is the best, who do they think is the best? A white man? Last I checked, most people's ATG lists are full of black people... in fact, you can only name 1 or 2 white guys that are considered top 10 ATG fighters, the rest are black and hispanic. So again, his whole premise is just ridiculous and borderline retarded.

I don't support Trump but claiming anyone who supports him is a racist is flat out ignorant and short-sighted. Well thats the problem with people these days. People are extremely short-sighted and want to pin a label on people for anything. I'm not Trump supporter, well i'm not American anyway but i'd probably be considered a socialist by most, but i hate the fact people can't have an opinion or see some sense from the opposite side without being labeled a racist or whatever.. It's just ignorant. There's no balance in peoples thoughts, no rational thinking.

That's a reason why it's hard to find people to have a good balanced intelligent conversation or even debate with.

wonder why this thread is still here and not on the global scene? oh well

Name a fighter who retired better then 49-0 with no draws..ILL WAIT..BECAUSE THATS THE RECORD name me a fighter who's in blue corner in two of the biggest fight in history yet won even if the final score card say red corner won. that's not once but happens twice. take your time i'll wait because THAT'S THERECORD

The white vote is the most diverse in the US. Blacks ,on the other hand, vote in lock step almost every time.... to the tune of 90%. Who are the collectivists again? btw- if a white guy tried to make this comparison between a convicted domestic abuser and philander..and the President of the United States... they would likely be called a racist for dragging down Obama to such a low level. Not that I'm surprised at this disjointed afrocentric logic

He along with Obama changed the game, they were great at what they did and were only hated by racist who were mad a black man was on top. That is why Trump is getting support because the racist people have been exposed..similiar to how lesser talented fighters who accomplish far less then Mayweather get praised while Floyd was slammed for fighting high level comp.. It is hilarious and it is clear as day that racism is behind it, YEA I SAID IT YA'LL ARE FVCKING RACIST.. You call other fighters great who have not even done more then fvcking Berto, yet slam Floyd for fighting Berto for his retirement fight. Go vote for Trump and show your true colors"MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" yea we know what that means-translation=make a white man president again... Honestly I always thought Mayweather was more of boxings 2pac. Came from nothing, drug attic parent, went to jail and came out the best etc... Im not democrat or republican and I cant stand a conservative as much as I cant a tree hugger but to compare Floyd Mayweather to the President of the USA is a bit absurd. Sorry Larry but to compare the 1st African American president to a loudmouth domestic abuser is kinda a slap in the face to MLK, dont you think? I respect Floyd Mayweather, I really do because I love boxing but if there were a boxer personally that I would say deserves to be in a History book Id say the Brown Bomber should be first ballot.

It's like Larry is bait threading. Jfk and Bill Clinton did more. One's shot and the other has a chance to be first lady. Let's keep it boxing....

So I guess Canelo is Hilary in this scenario ? ( Obama beat Hilary, where Hilary was supposed to take what was "rightfully" hers. Like Canelo and his Mexico holiday dates)

I like how you threw Mayweathers name in here to make it relevant on this forum. It's a political post and shouldn't even contain Mayweather nor be posted up on this forum. There's a forum for you to express your distaste to Donald Trump and white America and it's not here...

One is undeniably great in their field while the other has been mediocre at best depending on how you lean politically. Also it is not really racism it is bigotry and if you hate a group you are by definition a bigot regardless of race, creed or color. So painting with a broad brush makes some a?

Go vote for Trump and show your true colors"MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" yea we know what that means-translation=make a white man president again... I think in floyd's case, it had more to do with his attitude than him being on top. The guy is hateable plain and simple...and it's by deign, so what's the problem? We all know he wouldn't have been anywhere near as successful economically if he was humble. You want the man to be successful, which he was in part to him being hated, then you complain about him being hated...
