    Wasnt a racial thing?

    So if Pac wasnt Asian, would Floyd have said the same thing?

        I just don't think Floyd is racist. I just think it is uneducated and ignorant. If it was ***** who said it then Maybe I would think differently but it it's Floyd. You gotta take into account the source. Should he get heat for it? Hell yes, he should learn from it. I'm a forgiving guy and applaud Floyd for apologizing. I can't say I feel sorry for all the heat he gets though because I do think he deserves it.

          II have been told this MANY times by teachers, cops parents and my boss; "ignorence is not an excuse".

          He has MANY people who control his image and tell him what to say and the fact that he is the self-proclaimed "face of boxing" and a public image means that quote counts for him ten-fold

            Again, if Pac wasnt Asian, in that video, would he have said the same thing?

            Answer is NO

              Yup they right. Floyd is paying for it, and rightfully so. Now he should never do it again.

                Ok i can competely respect that post.

                Its the fact that you said the rant wasnt racial that stuck out to me because that rant was racially charged

                    So why is what he said racist, but the picture of him on the KFC bucket not racist? They're both examples of ignorant stereotypes.

                    So I expect to see you calling out all the Pacquiao fans who claim to be unaware that Mayweather's picture on the KFC bucket is offensive.
