Virgil Hunter touches up on Floyd Mayweather's recent interviews regarding racism...

[Bigg Rigg]

lets be real...in America who runs the media and what we see on TV? White people.....In America the only history the teach is white American history and history of others told from a white persons perspective......Its crazy....words like savages to describe the natives(who taught their dumb azz how to irrigate, raise crops, hunt, herbs, ****es, etc.).....when Katrina happened they called American citizens refugees( Louisiana, Texas, and Miss. have some of the highest % of non whites in their population...I doubt that would have happened if a natural disaster hit Utah or Idaho where the demographic is 70 % white


How many major networks or media outlets are run by people of color?


Floyd's misdeeds get publicity, but speaking on his charitable work and things he does for Vegas and other places isn't gonna be on ESPN or TMZ


Ward and Bradley not doing or saying controversial things is exactly why they don't get a lot of shine

Roy Jones was the fighter of the 90s, his life didn't have a lot of drama.....he promoted himself and had sponsorship from Jordan, all the while being bashed by HBO, a company who broadcast his fights...didn't get near the pats on the backs on the likes of GGG but definitely was a better fighter....Jones wasn't boring and had a good fan base, the media just didn't take to him because he didn't show his azz

Nah.........

in a 1000 years problem will be the same being you "smart" people are in charge. it is your types that have destroyed the black family with your "intelligence". 60 years ago black families were way better off being hard working honest people.

The problems facing humanity aren't caused exclusively by the so called "smart" people. What the Planet Earth lacks right now are people of all skill levels that are wise. And whether human beings understand it or not, we're all part of one massive family that includes many hues. So ultimately the problems with "blacks" affect all other ethnic groups and vice versa.

You say blacks were better off 60 years ago. That's pretty funny, my mother would vehemently disagree with you and she's an 80 year old black woman. Please cite sources and evidence, hopefully anecdotal, that blacks were better off?

It's really important to look honestly at the causes and reasons why events or phenomena occur instead of offering snap judgments or popular opinions....

if you think you are so smart why don't you just go on google and find it out. your grandmother is still alive at 80 so how bad was it. two of my uncles died in WW11

She's my mother dimwit and do you have access to Google? So if someone is still living, that's the high bar you choose as to whether their life was good? Just gonna skip through quality and all of that?

Reading is great but comprehension is fundamental....

It's quite clear that non-black boxing fans will never truly understand the racism that blacks have faced in America throughout the years, and in the present. It's not as bad as it was a few years ago but there's still a LONG way to go.

Nice read, insightful. Problem is a lot of people are not intelligent enough to understand this interview.
