I ain't losing no sleep over that **** and he is. I win. That seems like a logical mindset and it surprises me most folks don't have it.
    Hitking I think most people think like that but there's the other side to that. The discrimination that often blatantly limits some people on the path to success. It's fair to say "I don't like certain people", that's a personal choice but that transcends into people's professional careers. There are racists who will overlook color of skin if you are going to bring them more money than their peer would. There are many more who won't overlook it and therein lays the issue. You yourself said "I tip black waiters/waitresses better" but not "others because I f**ks with my own". Now your own indiscretion towards other people is hurting them where it shouldn't. If someone gave you good service they didn't do it because of their skin color they did it because they are good at a job and should be rewarded as such. Now if that same person treated you like a second class citizen then don't tip you have that right but if that's not the case why create an uneven level of appreciation?

          Sorry, Floyd's been on record with his own racist rant plus dude actually has a felony record for assaulting a woman.....

          Floyd's a good fighter but needs to draw a line and not make light of serious social issues in order to sell his fight.

I'm not racist, but I definitely see color and i'm 100% pro black. And I'm far from alone. I'm just not scared to admit it publically. So it would be very hypocritical of me to have a problem with people of other races feeling the same way.
            I applaud your honesty

              If mayweather is the owner of the clippers next year he will do everything to avoid playing the Heat, Thunder, Spurs and any other top team in the NBA.

                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.

                  typical publicity stunt by floyd.

                  not only does he not have the money but the nba is not gonna ban a black hating owner only to bring in a asian, african, foreigner hating moron like mayweather.

                  nba does massive business in asia. lmfaaoo at the asian hating floyd buying the clippers.

                  typical publicity stunt by floyd.

                  basically janet jackson pulling her boob out because she has a record coming out just like floyd is about to have a fight.

                      I'm all about publicity stunts but dude should stop trolling serious topics......
                      Floyd is truly out of touch and can not relate to the struggles of an average minority.
