Comments Thread For: Mayweather To Buy Clippers? No Issues With Sterling

[JJRod]

I'm a sheet metal mechanic by trade and I live in the South. So I've dealt with a lot of job related racist practices. You keep pushin'.

I don't understand what you mean by pushin.

But if I read your comment correctly you said you tip more money to a black person than any other race simply because they're black.

That is discriminating against someone based on skin color alone, and you're wrong for that. The fact you're open about it doesn't justify it.

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. I'm not denying that I show racial prejudice. But I also feel that most people do in one way or another. But I feel that is completely different from hating someone because of the color of their skin.

Just imagine if Floyd foes actually buy a piece. The hypocrisy is going to be laughable with the cry babies turning into defenders.

Oh god. Floyd talking about this had to bring the conversation to boxing! I was really enjoying not having to read anything about it and just reading/talking straight boxing for a bit. Floyd's comments about Sterling in the last paragraph were interesting to say the least.

There's a big difference in how journalists (and thus the common masses who agree with journalists based on perceived legitimacy) react to scary businessmen vs athletes.

Athletes are perceived as lovably/harmlessly delusional whereas businessmen (even if the former overlaps with the latter) are imagined by average people as spending all of their time plotting to take over the universe.

"As soon as we come off vacation, we're going to cook that little yellow chump. Once I stomp the midget, I'll make that mother f----- make me a sushi roll and cook me some rice."

-Floyd

Despite it being much more insulting than what that Sterling guy said, people just chuckled because they don't perceive him as being intelligent enough to threaten them.

First of all he said "little young chump" not little yellow chump" like Pacquiao fans like to 'mistakenly' misquote him as saying. And the sushi roll comment was definitely intended to strike an ethnic nerve but these dudes are fighters. Punching someone in the face is more insulting than saying that black people eat fried chicken and that filipino's might dine on a little dog every now and then. For a billionaire real estate tycoon and businessman to make comments like these and to be in a position of power to wield discriminatory business practices is a far cry from an athlete going on a rant. And Pacquiao fans have a lot of nerve calling anyone racist.

Now Oprah, Larry Ellison and David Geffen wanna buy them.

And last I checked, you're not black. Also, I've been labeled almost an Uncle Tom by blacks in my personal life for calling out blacks on the reverse racism many of us practice. I called yhem out in my wife's shop for being outraged about Trayvonn Martin, but happy OJ got off even though they think he killed those people. I called them out on being outraged about Sterling, but never say a f.uckin' word when these lil dumb muthaf.uckas are out here shooting and killing each other daily. But either way, I have nothing to prove to these ass clowns on here who probably think the same way I do but won't say it because it's not politically correct and would affect their rep power. You're my friend. You know me well. Therefore on here, your opinion about me as a person is the only one that matters.

Lol at the term 'reverse racism'. Believe me when I tell you that this term was created by and for prejudiced white people as a way to justify racism against blacks in America. There really is no such thing. What you're saying kind of sounds like parroting of the sentiments of the likes of Sean Hannity and Bill O'Rielly on Fox News. Also, Lol at your OJ and Tayvon Martin comparison. OJ was acquitted because it was proven that the police planted evidence and one of the investigating officers hated blacks and that casted a shadow of doubt on whether or not he committed the crime. Zimmerman was acquitted because he was found to be justified in stalking and eventually murdering a black teenager just because he looked su****ious\like a black teenager. I won't call you an Uncle Tom but I would have to say that my general assessment of your statements is that they are far off base.

You're entitled to your opinion. But just a couple of hours ago, a childhood friend of mine's face was flashed all across the local news because he's wanted for shooting his pregnant girlfriend and another guy. And my FB timeline doesn't have a single status of outrage. Yet when some crusty old white man shoots off his d1ck-lick in a private conversation with some skank, my timeline, and probably everyone else's exploded with black rage. There's something very wrong with that picture IMO.
