What makes Wilder's costume a tribute to black history month?

[Gigantes]

We've all heard the nonsense about his costume taking away his legs, but another dumb thing he says is that it was for black history month. What/where in that costume is that any tribute to black history month? I've never seen anyone of note wearing that type of attire so what is he talking about?

I mean, maybe that was his intention, along with the intro music, but who cares?

Literally zero people would have been disappointed if he decided not to walk into the ring looking like a gay, black transformer

If he wasn’t heavyweight champ, brothas would be the 1st to clown on him for the goofy fit

You actually got a point. If Adrien Broner wore that suit for his next fight, he'd be a running joke on Twitter for a few days.

And it'd be mostly Black people making fun of him.

aint his costume a resemble of that movie black panther?

[Vinnykin]

It was black, I guess?

It looked like a ***eled up Witch King of Angmar from Lord of the Rings.

I don't know. I don't celebrate black history month because black history IS history. I don't celebrate black history month no more than I would celebrate white history month, asian history month, etc..
