Comments Thread For: Spence On Getting Pacquiao Fight Instead Of Crawford: I Wish Best For Terence

[Yaconcha]

I also want to add, this kind of comment would give a fair minded balanced individual a view, an opinion, maybe even an attitude in the drum keep ****ing on about the colour of a human beings skin.
I wouldn’t object to a black man or woman takin issue with a prejudice scumbag but to ram it down my throat? No thank you Errol and I don’t like it.
but always remain respectful of what ANY human being has gone through, their family or anything to do with this issue but for me, let’s everyone make it “the past and not now”.

They are ****ing up their legacy. One of them could have went down as ak ATG at welter

George Floyd is an example of a criminal and a bad cop-not an example of racism just because race is an infatuation. Nobody uses the term "European-American" unless their parents/grandparents came from Europe.The capitol riots are not an example of racism but an angry political fueled reaction that was not even on par with the "summer of love" provided by ***. If this is the modern day standard of racism then you need to acknowledge America has come a long way from days of Jim Crow and slavery.Hell, you almost have to invent examples or redefine the definition of racism to fit a cause because it is simply not happening in the droves as you suggest no matter how much ***** or Don Lemon are telling you at CNN.

People these days are not oppressed due to "White supremacy". Blacks in America have more influence than many others and if there is a better place, then one thing America does not do is keep you there.

I am not "mad" at the oppressed as much as I am confused when you are comparing modern times with what blacks had to endure quite some time ago. To compare it like today's standard is on par is an insult.

What is "modern day" to you? Is the Reagan Era "modern day?" Why did Ronald Reagan, former Governor of California, launch is Presidential Campaign in Philadelphia, Mississippi? Why was the CiA, under Reagan allowing ******* from Central America to be brought to SC Los Angeles? Why was possession of powder ******* less of a charge a Crack *******? Is the "War On Drugs" a "modern era" thing? Why didn't the War involve the suburbs? Mass incarceration is not propaganda! Who was Charles Lindberg, and the "America First Committee?" Is there a connection between "America First," and "Make America Great Again?" Damn Skippy! How did Trump see "good people" on both sides in Charlottesville? Is there a connection between Charlottesville and January 6th? Damn Skippy! If you can't see the connections, and White Supremacy in 2021, you're part of the problem!

We all wish the best for Terence.

I’m with you archiemoore1. What’s fighting a small, ancient, severely inactive Pacquiao gonna prove? Yet everyone wants to criticize Crawford.

He didn’t say “win a belt and I’ll fight you.” Then when he won one there was no fight.

He didn’t say “man you on the other side of the street” when he got walked up on.

People act like this didn’t happen.

He offered Porter $2,000,000 guaranteed and Porter walked. Said it wasn’t enough.

Porter’s guarantee for Spence: $2,000,000.

So it’s enough for Spence but when you got an offer from a guy you say can’t draw as well as Spence, it’s NOT enough?

You people continue to give certain fighters and promotions a pass when they do stuff right in front of your face.

Actually Bob Arum told Kenny Porter 1 million flat and that's it.

You left the part out when Bud was asked who he wanted next after Bob had a seizure on microphone Bud said Pacquiao not Spence.

You act like Spence hasn't been saying for the longest Garcia, Pac, then Bud. He's been very consistent but you've got fantasy land going on up top

blacks are the most racist group in the country

It’s about the context of America. And people who like to act like they don’t understand that or truly don’t understand are a big issue in America..Google why the civil war happened, the war on drugs or the GI bill. Read a book

Well said. And our Mexican brothers do it all the time openly. Maybe that guy is from the UK, and passing a judgment about a unique subculture he knows nothing about. The British openly root for their own too. African Americans don't do it enough, actually, and not that openly. If it helps that guy, think of African Americans as a unique group identity/nationality within the US. No sense of national unity, like let's say Mexicans or the British.

Race is a big factor here.

"No, I wish the best for Terence Crawford. I don’t hate on another athlete -- especially a Black athlete. I feel like there’s enough people hating on us. I’ve got nothing but respect for Terence Crawford,” said Spence.

-I agree with Spence, the sense of them and us.

Slavery and Jim Crow are not propaganda! Police Brutality is not propaganda! The deaths of Trayvon Martin and George Floyd are not propaganda! The Charlottesville March and the January 6th attack on the Capitol are not propaganda! This is America!

still trying to throw little trayvon in there like he wasnt breaking into people houses . he ****ed with the wrong guy period

[MC Hammer]

"Especially a black athlete" WTF imagine for a second if a white guy said this about another white fighter how much he would get trashed and somehow it's okay if a black guy says it. The hypocrisy that Americans live in is astonishing.

Canelo literally said he would never fight a Mexican. Mexicans talk about supporting Mexicans all the time. British do the same. Black athletes, especially boxers, have to avoid the pitfalls of sports. Y'all hate to see them support one another
