    Another irony is that some idiot managed to compare Floyd to Hitler....there is real "over the top" exaggerations when it comes to racism here on boxingscene.
    I may not appreciate what Floyd had said,but to make an extreme analogy of Floyd to Hitler is a pure joke.

    To try and brush off the fact that African Americans have been racially stereotyped with fried chicken (and KFC is exactly most people's first thought of fried chicken) and make a joke of a black man on a bucket of KFC, shows a lack of respect or concern for displaying what people would consider racist...

    IRONICALLY,these same people are moaning about Floyd's comments...(they can dish it out,but they can't take it themselves).
    Look at KFC posters, they say "we make chicken right" and "we make duck too" I didnt know blacks had anything to do with ducks and it never said anything about fried chicken.

    I also had no idea blacks had anything to do with cherries

    Racism is racism, there are certain levels of racism but if something is racist, its offensive, no matter what the level of racism

    All of these pics have something in common, none of them are racist, otherwise everyone with the KFC things would be banned

      It doesn't have to say the words "fried chicken" on it-it is a picture of a KFC box (Kentucky Fried Chicken) and said "we do chicken right"-the old slogan from KFC television commercials.

      I don't doubt that you had no idea about the stereotyping/associations with fried chicken (because you are born outside of America I believe),but the fact is,it is a racial stereotype in the States.

      Just because it isn't banned,doesn't make it any less racist.

        Yes i was born in the Ukraine but currently live in the Bronx, so i know this stuff.

        And i have been following this forum for a long time but i have never heard ANYONE complaining about that being racist before the Floyd rant

        Just because it has a black man on a KFC poster, the point of the poster id to call Floyd a duck and a chicken. You and everybody else knows this.

        I myself before 2 days ago have never in my dreams even thought that poster had anything racist, because it doesnt

        I personally think its a brilliant poster just like that cherry picking one

              It doesn't change the fact that it has a black man on a fried chicken box....just the fact that many people have questioned if it is racist,should be an indication that there is a strong possibility that it indeed is.

              Me personally,I would stay away from posting something that bears a resemblance to racism...

              BTW-there have been complaints about this before Floyd's own questionable remarks.I do not support the KFC pictures with their racial subtleties, nor do I approve of Floyd's remarks (to his credit,he apologized and specified that he meant nothing racial by it,whether you believe him,doesn't change the fact that he spoke his remorse).

              Would you approve of a picture of Manny with a dog's body and some slogan saying "you are what you eat"? It CAN obviously be viewed as prejudice-surely you can judge that as inappropriate,eh?

                how can you compare a 10 minute video with audio racist rant to a photoshop'd picture? there are different levels of racism and what floyd did was infinitly worse than some picture of his face on a kfc bucket

                      I would expect you to downplay any racism directed towards Floyd and maximize the racism towards Manny....somehow you have tried to justify it.After looking at your sig pics and fan type sig,you cannot separate your logic from your own obsessive devotion.

                      Very predictable.

                      Saying that "there are different LEVELS of racism" is a twisted way to justify or minimize certain cases of racism to suit your own bias.Racism is racism....
