    When white posters make the argument "if a white person said..... the reaction would be......" they act as if things are equal. The reason white people, especially white men, have their words assessed differently is due to the many, many years of them not getting any repercussions for not only the racist things they've said, but the racist acts they've committed with impunity and never been punished for.

    Posters like DaNuetral specialize in fake outrage. Notice how he goes out of his way to give Merchant every benefit of the doubt. Now if Merchant were a non white media personality on PBC, he wouldn't make any attempt to understand what point is being made nor would he give any benefit of the doubt.

    RJJ-94-02=GOAT posts people should leave color out of it. IMO its hard to do that when certain posters clearly only extend the benefit of the doubt or giving people space to explain themselves on the basis of race like DaNuetral has done with Merchant's comments.

          Exactly, they won't just come out and say Larry Merchant is racist like they did with Haney they are tap dancing and trying to deflect towards the bigger picture. Funny

            It’s racist to a certain degree
            He is stating that one group of individuals is better than another although he didn’t use any derogatory terms
            He did come out and apologize so I’m sensing something was wrong with what he did

              I'm confused as ****


              Anyway, why is there no push for undisputed? Racially I mean. If there's such a massive importance on race why can't you racists angle it toward something worth a damn?

              If you're white and the fact that no major champion between Marciano and Wlad was white, the **** are you doing *****ing about black folks who say they'll never lose to white folks? Push your favorite to become undisputed....ffs. If you're black and you're bothered by the K2 decade, push your man to be what Wlad never was...ffs.


              "him said some racist **** doe" is such a ****ing fairy thing to care about. Jesus ****, you watch men beat the **** out of one another, but, you give a **** about words? That makes me want to smack you and call you a ***** and ask which hurts more. These men get punched for money, they can say whatever the **** they want and I'll still watch them get punched for money. One's a tangible assualt and the other hurt your ladylike sensitivities....ffs

                It’s not racist.

                What Devin Haney or Alan Minter said is racist.

                Put the race card away now kid.

                I’m a mixed raced kid who grew up in Toxteth. There are real race issues in the world and this isn’t one of them.

                  We’ve had “great white hopes”, we’ve never had a white fighter say “I’ll never lose to a black boy”. That’s the difference.

                  I’m not condoning any of it btw, they should just leave colour out of it, period.
                  this right here... a white, brown or yellow fighter has never came out and say that they will never lose to a black guy...
