Comments Thread For: WBC Suspends Adrien Broner Over 'Mexican' Swipe

[Frank Ducketts]

We all allow things within our own culture. I don't think we need to mention floyd here. Broner is his own man and his actions are his alone.

I understand why the WBC reacted. It seems they got some external pressure given the holiday. I get that. But you know what you get with Broner. He is running with his act for better or worse.

Broner needs to grow up that is true. IMO, its sad, as Max Kellerman discussed on the last fight game, that so many young black fighters believe acting like this is the only way they can cultivate a fanbase.

Im wondering who are these black fighters outside of Broner that max is talking about? Today's boxers have toned down a lot if you ask me.

Oh, how cute to pretend the LATEST comment Broner made does not indicate he is racist. Well suck on this:

Broner:

A) Called Mexicans "Wet-back's" on his Twitter account a little over a year ago.
B) Made statements on THIS web site in 2011 that Mexicans were limited and when referring to an opponent said these words "At the end of the day, he is just a Mexican".
C) In another example in the same time-frame called an opponent a "Burrito eating dude".
D) And now says that he "beat the f.uck out of a Mexican!".

But somehow he is not racist or guilty of making racial slurs? Is anyone that ******???!! There are FOUR points that PROVE Broner's blatant, obvious Racism! I've been saying this for years and once again, Broner proves it. But lets just keep pretending that those other incidents don't exist.

couple of points:

WHat he posted in 2011 doesn't make what he said last saturday racist. You of all people know this. He says variations of the same thing every fight.

As we've discussed racism and bigotry are two different things.

He was discussing what is the belief. WHen you realize fighters like ward and crawford toil in obscurity despite their excellence while Broner is getting max exsposure he may have a point.

What he said last Saturday is only one of 4 points that indicate how he degrades Mexicans. And Racism also includes racial slurs, not just denying someone a position, etc. That's why they call them racial slurs/racial comments.

Yes he has degraded Mexicans in the past. He didn't do that Saturday night. He did his usual post fight schtick. He didn't utter a slur saturday night.
