The feministic social warrior witch hunters have created a society where words hold the utmost weight in and of themselves sitting and their computers with no lives at all just waiting for someone to slip so they can burn him at the stake and show everyone just how righteous they are. Intent is what matters not what you say. The man made a cheeky little joke and it should stay exactly that way. Not being able to take a joke is the hallmark of a socially inept, uptight person that you don't wanna be friends with - don't be that friend that everyone wants to unfriend as soon as he opens his mouth because he's lame and sucks total áss.

I love how people in this thread are purposely being so obtuse. It's quite amusing, yet pathetic at the same time.

If a promoter had a ***ish fighter sitting beside him and said "back in the days we were like ****s" I'm sure a different tune would be sung

He's right though.

Besides, he isn't really talking about race as such, although there was elements of that with old time promoters and maybe modern ones too. But it's basically in reference to the fact promoters essentially owned fighters years ago and had them tied up in terrible contracts. He's being honest about what he did.

Using the term "slave traders" with a black guy sitting next to you probably isn't the best way to word it to get the point across. But in context of what he's talking about, it wasn't a bad way to describe it.

Even if he wasn't being racist(which he is, he doubled down on it with the "Mister" comment)..that's still a shoddy thing to do, and to admit you used to financially screw over fights and not have their best interest at heart. Even without the racist element this is still terrible.

Dillian Shyte knows his place. The 'Bronze-Bomber' Deontay Wilder hath warned you #TILLDISDAY.

Don't kill me but what movie is this from? I see this gif a lot haha

Motorcity Cobra as a big SJW and White Knight must be so very triggered when a bigger man in Hearn just destroyed his world saying honest things and not lies like Finkel, King and other snakes in business. This entitled soft generation can't take truth and have spasm attack because they can do absolutely nothing to stop Hearn from saying whatever the **** he wants. I love it, your tears are sweet you pathetic soft society rejects

The term SLAVE is neither limited to, or owned by African Americans.

Sorry to disappoint or trigger the resident SJW beta male posters here, but slavery had existed to oppress ALL races and genders since humans began to walk.

You can use the term slave without racial intent, even if you are white...

The atlantic slave trade has to be one of the worst practices of human rights to ever exist, it's worse than other slaveries because not only was it slavery, but the whole system put in to protect and hinder those who it effected.


USA and similar chattel slavery was much more strenuous, racist, degrading..than any other form of slaver practiced on the planet. Other cultures and ancient civilizations at least had basic rights and treated ****** with dignity, you just couldn't beat the hell out of a slave. Not to mention, ****** typically were captured by people close by, so for the most part the people conquering them would have a similar culture to them. In a lot of societies ****** could rise through the ranks. In west Africa ****** could rise and actually marry into the family and had rights, it was more like light indentured servitude(Still slavery). It's also by far the most known story of slavery because it was by far the biggest slave trade in history, it also lasted a significant amount of time compared to other slavery.
