You just need to go back to 2008 and see how many Americans of all colors hated on GW Bush. It is amusing to meet Americans like you who still get caught up in the colors.
Floyd is practically the 2015 Jack Johnson.

Race is one of those subjects I choose to avoid and not participate in unless it is in a boxing forum to point out that the general dislike audiences have for Mayweather has nothing to do with his race.
The whole notion that Floyd is hated on simply because he is "black" is straight up ridiculous. Pacquiao is also an ethnic minority. And if you really have been watching the news and it's stories on racism then you would be aware of the racism towards Filipinos and Asians that regularly make the headlines.
But for some reason, we rarely, if ever at all hear people say, "Manny gets hated on from certain groups because he's from Asia." The reason for this is because Americans know better. We could get all ****** and say such things but we generally choose to let the uneducated and entitled demographics wallow in their victim ideals.
As for Jack Johnson... Considering that both Pacquiao and Mayweather are equals as for as being a visible minority is concerned, then it is Pacquiao who is the Jack Johnson.
Jim Jeffries IIRC, was the fellow who refused to give Jack Johnson a shot. It is very similar to how Mayweather kept putting up road blocks to deny Manny the pay day. As an American who follows the news and understands race is the only thing reported by CNN and Fox, my only conclusion is that Floyd Mayweather refused to fight Manny because Manny was a colored fighter.
Eventually Floyd conceded because the money involved obviously weighed more than his petty racism.

If the US population would grow-up\evolve to the point where they stop seeing color as the enemy, and start seeing the banking elite, the lobbyist and corrupt Govt. officials as the enemy - things will never change.
Color\Race isn't the problem ... The Govt. and its banking system is the problem. And as long as we fight and destroy each other, the longer we'll be ruled by those so-called elites that only want to use us as chattel\mental\financial ******.

The only thing the Main Stream Media does is report to us that there still actually exists fools who still play that racism game. Sometimes it makes for good entertainment and other times it gets annoying to know that people still play that game

I think this is actually a much more intriguing conversation than what is happening here. Has multiculturalism surpassed nationalism, or is Mayweather just that big of a scumbag? American boxing superiority is at stake here.
