Claressa Shields calls herself a gangsta

[uppercut510]

what has she ever done to be called a thug?? what actions of hers would make you agree she is a thug?

she was born.... their logic

[uppercut510]

the real thugs have on suits n ties and run the world... not sure why this is even a big deal to anyone

Not with what Kovalev is accused of.

2 different women with no knowledge of behavior have accused him of assault, including on an airplane.

He's been recorded making racial remarks.

If you can imply Claressa Shields is a thug because she talks tough in interviews, then the label should apply to him as well

Claressa called herself a gangsta and yes generally sounds like a thug...Kov was accused of 'sexual' assault...if he is guilty you could call him a rapist or sexual predator etc.

If he is guilty of making racial remarks then he may be a racist etc.

The term thug would not really apply there.

What is your definition of thug

[KillaMane26]

That's what all Fox News watching racists say along with "I have a Black friend" & "I don't see race".

I see you.

You aint named one crime she's committed, yet you're calling her a thug.

She's a fighter. She's supposed to talk tough and intimidate her opponents. That's her job.

And it's not her fault she comes from a poor background. She talks & acts the way poor people do. It doesn't make her a bad person or a thug.

Its no point!! They gon keep labeling this boxers Hood****, Thugs, ******, etc.

And keep expecting blacks to not get offended when its obviously racial! Then they will turn around and act like they aint say shyt.

But these same guys will whine and point out anything n everything they perceive to he racist towards their people!

What is your definition of thug

people who steal lands and celebrate it annually, bomb whole cities, ****** children, produce n sell psych meds and opiods that kill millions, those who practice fractional reserve banking, drakonian laws, alter foods (gmos), poison the air, water, use their racial superiority to harm others, there is more but thats a real thug... there are also those lower level thugs who act tough, sell drugs on street corners, and destroy their own neighborhoods n kill each other over colors amongst other ****** things.

OK thanks for the reply...I think that is a broad umbrella for the term but that's fine...not sure if you meant to say the bolded part that way either...highlighted that for you

She talks like a thug man..idk why that is so offensive for some people to hear...you or anyone else being offended by that, are basically saying that all black people talk like that, or that she is talking 'black'...that's the racist part, that's you doing that, not me.

And I'm replying to you because you joined in on that guy's comment to me...others may have made racial comments in disguise about her but I haven't.

I said she seems like a thug based on her actions and her language...I don't see how anyone could say otherwise really.

Ugh, once again White boys who are either old/lame AF don't know what slang means.

To call yourself "gangsta" in a hood sense doesn't mean that you're actually a gangster.

Actual gangster's don't call themselves "gangsta", they usually call themselves "real g's" or "real nxggaz" or "goons" or "real ass cats" or something like that.

"Gangsta" in this sense means that she's tough in what she does.

Also, for future reference, to call yourself a "pimp" doesn't necessarily mean you have ladies out on a street corner.

To "pimp" something out can mean to make something better (i.e. Pimp My Ride)

Or it can mean to be really adept or proficient at something, (i.e. "I pimped the game before it pimped me).

Good to give you lame ass motherfxckers a lesson in slang so you can stop the racist dog whistling



Oh please, these racist Mexicans & white boys think that Serena's a hoodrat too.

They just hate black people in general, but just won't admit it, so they point out tokens that they do like, but will turn on them in a heartbeat and they will be "******" and "hood****" to them too.

Like this racist right below me





Not fair.

Please, I can host some of the most so-called "beautiful" women in the world without makeup & they would look terribly too.

so when they call each other ni q qa every 30 seconds in the hood they are not really black???

By yall ****** logic. Yall would be disrespecting me the same way. Judging me the same way. I talk to yall ever day we all from diffrent backgrounds and for the most part don't judge or label each other.

But if yall saw how i looked, the way i dress, heard how i talk, saw where i came from, people i grew up with or associate with.

Yall would stop judging me based off my opinions on boxing topics, but start judging me based off things that have nothing to do with boxing. Things that are gonna offend me.

Why?

Cuz ima minority! Ima black man. And the last thing i want is to be judged based off how i fcking talk, judged off the people i grew up around, cuz my family loud,

Why cant u respect that im diffrent from you??

You aint gatta understand shyt!!

But why u gatta look down on me?
Make me feel like im 2nd class citizen just cuz u don't understand me?

I aint assault nobody, i aint rob nobody, **** nobody, extort nobody, take advantage of nobody.

But im still being called a thug?

Yall need to put yall selves in the shoes of minority b4 saying the shyt yall b saying!
