Bob Arum gives his 2 cents on Donald Trump and bigotry

Also, he forwarded (ie retweeted) the stats. So he was quoting someone else's numbers. That's not him bringing it up, as he didn't originate the tweet/numbers.

Now he was foolish enough to forward them without verifying they were fact, but again that's not him bringing up the subject in any way.

I live in Georgia and trust me.....Im far more worried about the police doing there job and protecting us than I am of Mexicans(who work hard, are peaceful and family oriented) and ******s(not the Jihad extremists) who are citizens who support the community and Islam means Peace....most people don't even know that

Its crazy how people act like this country WASNT put together by a bunch of immigrants and Cali all the way to Mississippi was Mexico

The only none immigrants are descentents of the native Americans/afro native americans who pre-dated Columbus(im of Afro, Cherokee and Muscogean ancestry. Can trace my heritage back to the early 1800s)its 2016, people need to pick up a book or use the internet for more than instagram

America wouldn't be giving land back if it was theres.....Check out some info on the Wa****aw Nation....good read

America needs to worry about who is already in the country a bit more

Hey bro, how's it going?

I agree with a lot of the points you make about boxing and other topics. However, I have always found it weird when people use the word "America" to refer to the United States. In international forums, the country's name is the "United States of America". You will never see "America" used to refer to your country alone.

America is a continent, not a country. I always thought that's kinda power grab on the part of the United States, by appropriating the whole continent's name. I'm expressing this opinion as a North American, by the way.

I thought I should point that out.

Yes, I know what I said.

No, as it needs no correction. Again, numbers can't be racist.

Now I know libs try and say everyone who disagrees with them is racist, but don't now start calling things like number racist too!

Again, you didnt say Trump never said anything racist. You said he never brought up race.

Citing statistics based on race is still bringing up race.

Do you understand the difference between 'race' and 'racist'?

Im not sure you do. I can help you with this obvious distinction if you want.

Retweeting stuff for all of your followers to read means he wanted those statistics shared with his followers. So he did bring it up... to his followers. It also means that he agrees with the tweet, by the way. He doesnt retweet everything he comes across does he?

One would have to a complete moron to believe those stats were real.

Yeah, maybe because they couldn't come up with a name for the citizens of the United States. I don't care if they use "American" as a nationality, but not "America" as a country. That was the point.
