    Why are you laughing at a paint that depicts the Last Supper with black personalities and idols? What's so funny about that? The fact that they are black? The fact that the painting is about black empowering?

    How pathetic it is, a bunch of priviledged white guys mocking at black activism.

    Pretty pathetic.
    Because it's a dumbass painting by Tyrese you dolt. The painting we were talking about the most (Malcolm X baptizing Tupac) is so utterly ******ed and it's mocked all over the net.

    The only thing racist here is the obvious ALT who is on a trolling rampage and clearly race baiting.

          Now let's talk about these ''horse-hair'' gloves. A lot of people criticised Floyd for refusing to fight Maidana who tried wearing gloves that visibly had very little padding in the fist portion of the glove.

          Is it any coincidence that many of these fighters with strange power happen to wear these gloves??? Golovkin is known to wear horse hair gloves and Rosado pointed out that being punched by him felt like a bare knuckle hitting his face due to the lack of padding.. Pacquiao was known for wearing the Cleto Reyes gloves when he knocked down the likes of Cotto and Mosley..

          People forget that Maidana's first pair of gloves WERE NOT APPROVED by the commission, and the second pair had visibly less padding around the fist area than your standard American made glove.

          In a time where we have more knowledge about brain injuries, where people are having their lives ruined by tragedies in this sport, I believe that this topic requires some further looking into..

          It's only right that fighters should be operating on an even playing field, Floyd wears gloves that are manufactured in America and have a visible amount of padding around the fist area, in many of these foreign countries where the regulations are a lot more lax you're bound to find less regulated gloves. Personally I believe their should be a minimum amount of padding around the fist area and if the gloves don't meet that requirement they should not be approved.
          I don't know what kind of gloves Golovkin wears, but I have been saying for the last several of his fights that his gloves look very small compared to his opponents. They do appear to have very little padding in the fist area and I believe this gives him an unfair advantage. If you look at his last few fights, you will see that his gloves look to be about half the size of his opponent's gloves. Anyone can knock out 90 percent of their opponents if they have that kind of advantage.

                Its sad to see boxing plagued by such racist fans.


                white racists have been posing as black floyd fans much more recently of late.


                it's those people we are poking fun at, not actual black posters.


                when a guy has a red bar, some sort of explicitly black or african sig and avvy, a name like "kwame ubuntu," or "african thought," and 300 posts in one month, he's probably an alt of a white race baiter.

                      What's more pathetic then the white kids you are talking about is the "it's because Iam black" attitude floating around here.
