Jesus...

It's clear you don't even have a tenuous grasp on History. So again, I have to ask... do you even know what the Jim Crow Laws were? The Black Code?

If you really think those particular de jure/de facto legislative codes have no connection to racism... institutionalized racism... then I suggest you study up on the subject.



Right. Right. Let's take some realities in 2015 and see if they would've happened in say 1952.

Barack ***** running for President. Oprah or Tyler Perry owning billion dollar media empires. LeBron James playing in the NBA. A random black man drinking from a Whites only water fountain or trying to send his daughter to an all white public school.

Do those things happen in 1952?



Of course inequality still exists. No one said life was perfect. But you did go to school. You weren't barred from getting an education. You can literally work any job that you are qualified for.



Not to sound callous but... so?

I'm sure police kill innocent (depending on how you define that word) people of all races. The media nowadays loves to sensationalize White cop on Black civilian drama. I didn't agree with how the Mike Brown fiasco went down, but even the Justice Department led by Eric Holder let the cop off the hook.

Now if they were Whites mobs of people hanging blacks from trees and light posts, that'd be a cause for real concern.





OK... but what does that have to do with actual systematic racism? Can subtle racism keep Floyd from voting or eating at his favorite restaurant?




But you most likely won't get arrested for drinking from their water fountains, sitting at the front of the bus there. Or worse... openly lynched without repercussions.



Great. But thanks to pioneers and Civil rights activists from that time, you have MANY freedoms and rights that they never did.



And? Is there anything legally or otherwise stopping a Black person from your neighborhood from owning a business? Are the banks in your area going to bar you from getting a loan because of your race? Can you not own property in your neighborhood because of your race?

Those are the sort of issues people living under Jim Crow had to endure.

People still get lynched and mobbed by whites


Police killings


Racism is just televised now


Do you get it

[therealpugilist]

and if a white guy goes to a prodominantly black neighborhood he wont get treated differently?

Racism goes both ways


We all deal with it...some more than others

You see, these are the ****** comments you start making if you go through life not knowing how to read

More racism than ALI? ALi was going to get drafted into WAR, and took a stand, wtf had you done?




I know your a Mayweather fan, but dont ***** on the guys that actually stood for something other than stripper bars, bugatti's, and wife beating.

Floyd is an imbecile, which is why I now just support him in the ring and nothing else.

He has to understand, there's no "awww poor him" when it comes to Floyd like certain people or in this case black athletes can claim, when it comes to charges of racism or mistreatment. And why is that? Because Floyd lives a very destructive and ignorant life style. So lets hypothetically remove the racist element in which Floyd is attacked with, which he does. He individually still remains a piece of shit outside the ring, which he should be called out on, he's not wrongly being attacked like others can rightfully claim.

Ali on the other hand got hate for many righteous views and decisions, that he was in the right during that climate in time.

And I'll add what the hell has Floyd ever done to try to help the plight of black people on a large scale. Not a damn thing.

Mayweather pulling the race card now? Smh.

Muhammad Ali put his principles before his career, he was fighting as the entire country witnessed the Civil Rights movement explode throughout the nation. The social standards were vastly different than they are today.

1) Muhammad Ali held a racist speech in front of the KKK.
2) Muhammad Ali's birth name was Cassius Marcellus Clay (named after a white politician fighting against slavery). He changed his name to "Muhammad Ali" (named after a war lord and a slave trader).

i agree with what u said 100%. something else that disappointed me was the fact that he had most of us fooled that he dropped this whole "money" persona, which i didnt mind at first when he was younger, but he a grown ass man now and too old to be pulling those antics, but then he goes and does what he does in the all access interview with steven a smith. the little snippets i saw were pretty bad. very immature guy and im not even sure if its an antic of his anymore, maybe hes really just like that

[Boxfan7819]

He's a racist himself just take a look at his comments from the past

[ReIoaded]

Awww.... poor Floyd. Dishes out racism to Pacquiao, yet whines about a bunch of trolls on Social Media.
