Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather's Talk of Racism, McGregor Goes Viral

[Bigg Rigg]

Lin was trash.....anyone who knows anything about basketball could see that. Floyd is an avid basketball fan and he saw right through the hype in Jeremy Lin.

At the moment Lin was ballin. Turned the Knicks around for that time. And Floyd started getting jelly. How you get jelly in ball when they damn near own the league? Let the guy rock.

But I don't see any validity in any of that...

The truth is, people have bias and favoritism, and gravitate towards different people for different reasons. You see that all across the board everywhere in life and it isn't restricted to race. Mayweather is falling back on the race card because it's the easiest thing to fall back on.

bias +favoritism=prejudice

people bias towards particular race + showing favoritism towards a particular demographic= racism

G unit, 50 talks about it, snoop changing his name to snoop lion, the list goes on my brotha. black likes to refer to themselves as gorillas and lions so aint nothing racist about it when they embrace it.

Oh I see. So some rappers represent a certain demographic like ... :wt: gotcha.

I didn't know rappers spoke for the entire demographic...this dude brought up music artistS' lyrics SKH...WTF did that have to do with the average person?? Muscisians are selling a product to make money, nowadays people don't listen to nothing more than the beat and hook anyway....Hip Hop overall has fell off but there are still a few good, conscience artist


Everytime a hip hop artist doesn't use metaphors involving just money, cars, clothes and hoes, they either don't sale or get blackballed like Lupe Fiasco

Dre's new line to Apple, ''Gorilla Beats!'' all because Floyd made an excellent point but it's too deep for the goons so they claim all Floyd ever does is pull the race card. lol because they're mad or in denial themselves that they wouldn't eat dog meat either? ''derp...''

Are you ******ed? I didn't say anything about people being bias towards a particular race, I specifically said that folks were bias in general and that it had nothing to do with race. (What you wrote isn't actually racism either, for the record, but that's a different story.)

[Butt stuff]

All human races are trash & i'm planning to cleanse all of y'all fools. **** superior is taking over x-men style. Sewer creatures 4 lyf.

Jon Jones' 'character' has been dubious for years. He's always had a bit of a fake persona on camera. I think he's much better served doing what he's been doing this last year, just being himself and staying out of trouble.

Plenty of people made the 'short camp' excuse for Mendez, it was their saving grace. It was quickly silenced when he knocked out the P4P king inside 13 seconds...be it 'sore shoulder', 'short camp' or whatever, they are nothing but poor excuses.

People may not have been highly outspoken about Rousey, but you saw the reaction when she got blasted by Holm. Half the sporting world disliked her and loved seeing her lose.

so jones had a fake persona bc he spoke with good character and intentions?? black man aint allowed to do that??
of course he needs to stay out of trouble and i think he has for a while and will
im not making excuses im making comparisons..aldo is always ****** up has been on top forever and in rough fights, but no one says "u beat a washed up" aldo like they did with a manny that came back to beat p4p number 4 bradley and knocked algieri all around the ring...all u hear about is how floyd beat a younger than him but washed up manny
how was she disliked? she was the blast floyd mayweather puppet and they had to turn on here when she gave floyd his 50th victory lol

Ok fine, man. Cheap cop out from another who's just reaching with no valid points. Still haven't answered my question, but hey it's okay. You'll probably just answer with far-fetched explanations anyway.

ask your question..

No of course he don't deserve mayweather money ...but I also don't think mayweather should earn 250 or pacquaio 150 million a fight compared to say a Terence Crawford or a kovalev who maybe earn 1.5 mil max that's a ridiculous gap for men who put there life and health on the line....Algieri has for one thing is not even on floyds level in terms of skill and legacy so that's a silly question...and I'll tell you another thing I don't look at any boxer whether black, white or Asian and say to myself he shouldn't be getting that kind of money because for one it's non of my business and secondly it has no bearing on my life...the thing what annoys me about mayweather is he has earnt millions by this amazing sport and it's paid to him by shall we say the white CEOs and ***is run media company's ....kind of hypocritical don't you think that a black athlete who feels this way can sit at table of CBS and drinking coffee with the people he calls racist....mayweather don't care about anybody but himself and don't pretend it's otherwise

boxing isnt a if i earn u earn too sport..its a self owning type deal..u look out for yourself...noone said floyd should get some of oscar's money when floyd was only making 1 million
floyd broke away from the *** and went to a black man to earn his money...and staying the best also helped

its not about the money you earn..its about the amount of hate he draws..its about him not being able to walk the streets withou security bc the world has made it fine to bash him in media so much that ppl feel that it is fine to do in public...look past dollars bc he said he would give it all back if he could have a regular good life with his kids..
stop looking at his as money figure and look at him as a hated individual..rich or not that is wat he is...watch first take and u have a man pushing the world to hate him day in and day out..floyd could give 10 million to the homeless and skip would then say good for you but you are still ducking a now healthy manny...IT IS FUGGIN SAD DUDE
