Mayweather is similiar to ***** and has exposed to racist

[The Gambler1981]

One is undeniably great in their field while the other has been mediocre at best depending on how you lean politically.

Also it is not really racism it is bigotry and if you hate a group you are by definition a bigot regardless of race, creed or color. So painting with a broad brush makes some a?

I like how you threw Mayweathers name in here to make it relevant on this forum.

It's a political post and shouldn't even contain Mayweather nor be posted up on this forum. There's a forum for you to express your distaste to Donald Trump and white America and it's not here...

So I guess Canelo is Hilary in this scenario ? ( ***** beat Hilary, where Hilary was supposed to take what was "rightfully" hers. Like Canelo and his Mexico holiday dates)

It's like Larry is bait threading. Jfk and Bill Clinton did more. One's shot and the other has a chance to be first lady. Let's keep it boxing....

He along with ***** changed the game, they were great at what they did and were only hated by racist who were mad a black man was on top. That is why Trump is getting support because the racist people have been exposed..similiar to how lesser talented fighters who accomplish far less then Mayweather get praised while Floyd was slammed for fighting high level comp..

It is hilarious and it is clear as day that racism is behind it, YEA I SAID IT YA'LL ARE ****ING RACIST.. You call other fighters great who have not even done more then ****ing Berto, yet slam Floyd for fighting Berto for his retirement fight. Go vote for Trump and show your true colors"MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN" yea we know what that means-translation=make a white man president again...

Honestly I always thought Mayweather was more of boxings 2pac. Came from nothing, drug attic parent, went to jail and came out the best etc... Im not ******** or ********** and I cant stand a conservative as much as I cant a tree hugger but to compare Floyd Mayweather to the President of the USA is a bit absurd. Sorry Larry but to compare the 1st African American president to a loudmouth domestic abuser is kinda a slap in the face to MLK, dont you think? I respect Floyd Mayweather, I really do because I love boxing but if there were a boxer personally that I would say deserves to be in a History book Id say the Brown Bomber should be first ballot.

[YOU WILL LOSE]

The white vote is the most diverse in the US.



Blacks ,on the other hand, vote in lock step almost every time.... to the tune of 90%. Who are the collectivists again?

btw- if a white guy tried to make this comparison between a convicted domestic abuser and philander..and the President of the United States... they would likely be called a racist for dragging down ***** to such a low level. Not that I'm surprised at this disjointed afrocentric logic

Name a fighter who retired better then 49-0 with no draws..ILL WAIT..BECAUSE THATS THE RECORD

name me a fighter who's in blue corner in two of the biggest fight in history yet won even if the final score card say red corner won.

that's not once but happens twice.

take your time

i'll wait because THAT'S THERECORD

[Rath]

wonder why this thread is still here and not on the global scene?

oh well

[deathofaclown]

I don't support Trump but claiming anyone who supports him is a racist is flat out ignorant and short-sighted.

Well thats the problem with people these days. People are extremely short-sighted and want to pin a label on people for anything. I'm not Trump supporter, well i'm not American anyway but i'd probably be considered a socialist by most, but i hate the fact people can't have an opinion or see some sense from the opposite side without being labeled a racist or whatever.. It's just ignorant.

There's no balance in peoples thoughts, no rational thinking. Everybody is super sensitive these days too, or have a lot of faux-outrage at least and want to brand people something for having an opinion.

That's a reason why it's hard to find people to have a good balanced intelligent conversation or even debate with.

[craigus1990]

I think you guys are missing out on what is important when you mention this statement. I'm not necessarily disagreeing with the statement per se. I'm not saying that America is inherently racist, but there are a number of reasons that ***** won election, and re-election, like:

• Overwhelming support from new voters and voters under 30
• Multicultural voters helped LOTS --Hispanic (66% of Hispanic vote in 1st election) and African American votes (95% of AA vote in first election) were huge
• Being focused on the economy/healthcare as opposed to on terror, which resonated with voters at the time he was elected
• the hang-over from the Bush presidencies
• His stance on pro-choice, woman's health, marriage rights
• Made whites feel comfortable with him being that he is a family man, says the right things, and never played into race dialogue, even at this moment

All of this even with nearly half of the **********s believing he is ****** and not a real American!


With all that being said, it's crazy to take his presidency and try to equate that to America not having a race problem. The race problem in America is OBVIOUS.



Again, I'm not attacking you and I hear what you're saying and think it comes from a good place, but I think the statistics you give are misleading. No one is saying that Black people should not take responsibility for their actions, but let's not ignore the differences here. Inner city schools in America are atrocious, with regards to the quality. I remember going to classes in public schools in New York that didn't have proper textbooks. I went to one advance placement class that blatantly didn't have the teacher show up for months! Again, this is not an excuse, as I myself went on to an Ivy League university, but I'm just saying. The average opportunities for Blacks is far lower than the average opportunity for whites. I was in New York of all places. Imagine the schools in New Orleans, as I volunteered in some years later in my life.

There is a black on black crime rate of about 90%. There is a white on white crime rate of about 83%. People that commit crime against others do it mostly against people they know, and against people they live alongside! Furthermore, not necessarily for you, the intraracial crime rate has absolutely NOTHING to do with whether police officers should eschew their duty, which is to protect and serve, not kill and harass.

The point I'm trying to make is, your statistics don't take into account the poverty that exists in the inner cities, the lack of resources there, and what the country can do to help there. We know that there are places that are less likely to accept African American families with regard to real-estate. We know that African Americans are profiled at a much higher rate than whites. We know that AA's are something like 20% more likely to be killed in a confrontation with police. We know that criminal offenses carry higher sentences for crimes that poor people commit as opposed to other crime (white collar crime? Crimes involving crack vs. *******).

Plenty of Black Americans have gone on despite being born into those conditions to be successful, but think about how many were born there and were unable to make it out due to various reasons. Simply put, it's not impossible, but it's harder.

Sorry for rambling, and thank you for anyone who made it through that. Not sure what any of this had to do with Mayweather, but you'd have to ask the OP about that. lol


Just my 2 cents. Respect.

Yes, I agree with a lot of what you have said, I am not blaming black people for any failures that are derived from poverty or anything like that.
I am merely saying, you can't mix up failures of poverty and cultural failings on the white man and claim systematic racism, it is absurd, offensive and ridiculous.

I mean, to directly counter a couple of your points is...
1. Showing 95% of black Americans voted for ***** the first time around doesn't really show anything. It just shows that black people were desperate for a black president. White people make up the majority of America and a non-white (because make no mistake, ***** is mixed race, not black) president got elected, that is just the simple fact of it.
2. Showing the number of white on white crime... again, this doesn't conclude anything about racism. It doesn't tackle why 13% of a population are responsible (and found guilty) for 50% of the murders in America... that is staggering.

Again, none of what you have said about why black people are less likely to achieve, says anything about racism, which is why I agree with what you are saying, but not with your conclusions.

You are saying:
Reason = Poverty
Conclusion = Racism of the system

If you read what you wrote (beyond the ***** bit) there is no mention, not one solitary mention or link to racism... it is all just poverty and culture.

America has a horrible poverty problem.... and it used to be racist institutionally in the past... but since the civil rights movement? No, sorry... that is a fallacy.

It is the same for any other country... I was not born in London, I was born out in the countryside... there are less opportunities in terms of making money, than there are if I was born in London. I am white, but a black man who lives in London, is likely to make more money than a white man from outside of London. This is just the way things are, it has nothing to do with racism, it is to do with location.

That stat I gave about single black motherhood rate being at 70%... the shocking thing about that stat is that it has risen to that number from 20% since the civil rights movement... so you can see a regression in a group of people, since the country actually became less racist.

So again, my point of my original post was that you can't just blame racism for certain failures of society (and yes, these are failures of the whole society), these are problems that stem from a whole spectrum of reasons, and to conclude that a system or institution is racist is a joke... blame the system for favouring the rich.. (which again, is what happens with almost any system)... but don't blame white people... because again, these things are divisive and they ostracise communities... and is kind of how the holocaust started... blaming a race of people for problems that are much more complex.

But yeah, the post was in response to Larry who seems to think Floyd doesn't get his due because of racism and not all the reasons there are to not like Floyd.

The simple response would be... okay well if people don't think Floyd is the best, who do they think is the best? A white man? Last I checked, most people's ATG lists are full of black people... in fact, you can only name 1 or 2 white guys that are considered top 10 ATG fighters, the rest are black and hispanic. So again, his whole premise is just ridiculous and borderline ******ed.
