Kinda mean to your opponent. And everyone else in the building.

It's unconscionable putting so many peoples health at risk, Panama Al Brown should've been banned from boxing when he came down with Tuberculosis.

I'll answer you this once, and if you still come back with the I don't see it statement then that's where you stand.
School shooting, church shootings, mass shootings with military style weapons, the Killing of women, children, and others.
These mass killings all in one place, at the same place using weapons of war, and your saying what?
The world has been built lie upon lie, but this is right in line with those lie's that your trying to perpetuate that racism isn't on the rise.

You buy into the media mass hysteria concerning mass shooting as it overwhelmingly overtakes your normal, everyday, run of the mill shootings. Here’s a task for you. Go out and research the FBI bureau of crime statistics. More particularly, gun crime weapon type and gun crime by race as a per capita of the population. I think you will find something very shocking. It may make you open your eyes. Or maybe not. I deal in statistical facts; not feelings or emotions. One example is Chicago where there are more shootings annually in Chicago than Afghanistan. Why don’t we speak of such shootings? You’d think it would make national headlines every single day. I think we know why no one talks about it. It isn’t supportive of a particular narrative.

Know what stat you also don’t see or hear about? The number of crimes prevented by a person lawfully carrrying a firearm. Know why that is? Because it is literally in the MILLIONS. Again, it doesn’t support a narrative. Stop being a sheep, open up your eyes and read statistics instead of being spoon fed information.

Pretotaler83: Negro leagues were always acting like victims

You would've had to live in their shoes in order to really state an honest opinion.
If you couldn't stay at a particular hotel, or eat in a particular establishment you were being victimized.
You wouldn't have to play anything, it was a reality back in those days, how would you have honestly felt under those circumstances?

Chicago has always been a violent city with a propensity towards gangs. During the years of the Chicago Outfit, Murder Inc., the O’Banion and Bugs Moran’s North Side gang, it was Irish, Italians, polish, and Ashki****s committing the violence due to them being born into poverty and resulting to crime. Today, it’s primarily black and brown peoples on the south side primarily located in public housing units, again, poverty. Where you have poverty, particularly multigenerational poverty, you’re going to have street crime and that will Center around control of it he illicit contraband networks. In the 20s and 30s it was alcohol, today it’s drugs. The difference is the white gangs of that era transitioned to legitimate business due to being white and getting government contracts for building enterprises and the like…hence why they were so into the teamsters later. No black organized crime outfit has ever been able to do this….and why do we think that is? Perhaps the same reason why the black panther party was eradicated while the KKK still exists? Do we even remember that Murder Inc was overwhelmingly ashki**** ***ish? As was the organized crime groups that started Las Vegas and Micky cohen who ruled Los Angeles in the 40s? No, we don’t. There is a reason why the gang crime of the 20s through 70s was never characterised as “white on white” crime…

Any time I see someone use the term “victim” or “victim mentality” etc etc I know that person has been on websites like 4chan and or mixing with people who hold actual white supremacist views. That person using it doesn’t see certain groups as fully human. This is the white supremacist mindset that saw them unalive 6m of my fellow ***s. When I see it, I know what I’m looking at
