You damn right! It's called reparations for slavery. Sulaiman is paying reparations to Black American fighters for their contribution to the sport of boxing.

Oh cool, when are the decendants of black tribes gonna pay their fair share for selling other black people? Or we gonna pretend that didn't happen? Are you now ***4ever?

Gatti and Gotti are pronounced the same in some of ya'lls accents.

Finally an entity of the boxing establishment has acknowledged the existence of foundational black Americans as an ethnic group and fanbase in the sport of boxing. Admittedly this sort of belt pandering for a fighter who is retired is a misfire but nonetheless I wonder why boxing in general likes to pretend they don’t exist. They mention British fans, Mexican fans, Puerto Rican fans, even Greek fans in Melbourne, Australia but seem afraid or unwilling to mention this group by any sort of name or grouping

Oh no, a victim!

Oh no, a fragile snowflake that feels threatened by America's history.

The date isn't even about slavery ending. It was the date some people in south Texas found out slavery had ended 2 years after Lincon had signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

When was the first time you ever heard of Juneteenth?

When I was 10 probably. I'm 39 now. I know full well what the date is about. Texas has celebrated Juneteenth since the 80s.

There were ****** in Mexico you idiot! There are Black Mexicans you know? Who are still residing there to this day.

Correction, "New Spain" held ******. Mexico outlawed slavery once it became independent.

Get off Floyd nuts and get on mine, dammm!

No, my nuts are on your mom and she just loves and enjoys it! I even busted a nut in her booty!

Are they whining about reparations as much as you are?

Now apologize and say you are sorry!
