    wonder what ppl will say when a top white american boxer comes out and says he's so proud to be white.

    will he be called a racist? lol

    probably.

    colour shouldnt even matter, it's just ultra sad when a top fighter in a mega reknowned sport such as boxing have to bring race back into things.

    very sad and desperate for attention.

      White people in america are insecure about ethnic pride, because they asscociate white pride with being racist. It's just one of those odd things that actually runs a lot deeper than just color. "Black pride" and any pride really is rooted in ethnic ********** in any just about country having to stand up and be vocal in order to get fair treatment from the ethnic majority.

      Everyone wants to be the underdog though.

      This could warrant a really long discussion but I'm about to go take a nap.

            he's white so it wouldn't be a problem.....be real!!

              Mayweather says racist things, that's why he is called a racist.

                Floyd shot himself on the foot when he made remarks like "if you are not from the U.S you shouldn't be trusted" I don't know about you but that sounds pretty racist to me.

                      It ain't even about Floyd being proud to be black. Don't get it twisted. It's everything else he says and does. You can be proud of being black or whatever race without degrading another.
