Is this where we make a victim out of a black dude who's beat up women on multiple occasions?

That's so racist

Floyd Mayweather Jr launched a vicious racist attack on his opponent Manny Pacquiao calling him a "little yellow chump" and ordering him to cook him a “sushi roll”, in a shocking video.


This, and the current stuff, is all for fight promotion.

Blacks have to occupy ultimate progressive victim status, yes?

If Alton Sterling were white he'd have been called a trailer trash POS

I'm not racist because racism is a crime and crime is for black people.

Mayweather is a POS but McGregor's comments are clearly racist

Don't know mayweather (is he a boxer?) and don't know McGregor (can't even guess) either.

But the comments in the OP are clearly racist and have no place in public discourse.

As a joke amongst friends? = sure, anything goes then.

What part was racist?



I'd start with the part where McGregor called him "boy".

Boy is commonly used in England and Ireland.

If Mac was American the context would be viewed as different.

I think "boy" as a racial epithet is an Americanism, no?

He also said said "tree" instead of "three". Was that also a racist attack on how blacks speak?







orrrrrrr maybe he isn't from America and has a different dialect and cultural understanding of what is/isn't racist.

Conor has definitely got the better of Floyd at their pressers.

When they were face to face,Conor said,"In a real fight,you're already dead.".

Yeah. I think Conor is using some Trump tactics. He just tosses a grenade into the Mayweather camp and sits back and watches them run around pulling their hair out. He isn't as good at it as Trump is but he is younger and has not been at it for 70 years.

I hope Conor beats Mayweathers face flat. I hope the fight lasts a long time and Conor just plays with his to embarrass Mayweather. Like a cat playing with a mouse.

When it comes to charges like this, the truth doesn't matter. Everyone likes a villain to throw tomatoes at and it doesn't matter if they are really a villain or not so long as the accusation sticks.
