Imagine if a fighter said, I'm a white man just beat the fuck out of a black man. You would have guys like kool and trill crying to Sharpton for justice

[RobbyH]

there is a god

The white man would be banned from boxing and his career destroyed, he'd have every sponsor drop him and probably get his win changed to a no contest.

[Ricky Davis]

I never understood the point of having 20 jiggaboos in the background during these post-fight interviews

[Red Hawk #21]

I still don't understand why Blacks don't see Mexicans as their "opps", tbh...

:cry but Michael Jackson said black people are called color people cuz they come in all shapes and colors

[Malik Hairston]

:lol suspending boxers is stupid, tbh..

Suspending a boxer for simply stating that he defeated "a Mexican", in a sport full of wife beaters, rapists and criminals that gained mass fame in the ring:lol..

Michael Jackson also said it's okay for children to share beds with adults outside of the family.

[Holden_Caulfield]

the fuck?

[TDMVPDPOY]

isnt this the clown that has his own channel on youtube, partying more and wasting money on shit...

lol when he beat that cholo i had ur girlfriend

[Aztecfan03]

That wasn't really racist. Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Sheila Jackson Lee just to name a few should get backlash for being racist, though.

[JohnnyMax]

It was more disrespectful than racist.

[celticfan]

That was weak. Everything is so pussified now.

[Biernutz]

This thread is in the wrong Forum. For the hate part--move it to the club ...for the boxing the general sports

[Infinite_limit]

Africa vs Mexico

[spurraider21]

[jag]

Sounds a little light in the loafers, if you ask me.

[Trill Clinton]

talking shit is part of boxing and he didn't even say anything racist. he's been saying that 'can-man' shit for the longest.

You're retarded. Paulie Malinaggi is Italian and far from cholo.

[I. Hustle]

Broner is one of the biggest pieces of shit to ever enter the ring. Dude talks shit after beating a cupcake on the undercard. He wants so bad to be Mayweather. Floyd is a POS too but at least he can say he is undefeated against big names.

being undefeated is overrated..Floyd is my boy but he would have gotten his ass beat against Sugar Ray, Hitman Hearns, or Haggler....them niggas fought for the sake of fighting...they would have kicked Floyd's ass tbh

[Koolaid_Man]

and Broner is ok....he's just giving the wild arena crown filled with blood-lust exactly what they crave....stop trying to act all proper..it's a fucking fight....that insulting shit comes with the territory...if it's possible I could die in a ring I better dam well be able to say whatever the fuck I want...real talk

[PingPong]

The nigga seems to be full retarded. Boxers aren't known as articulate and intelligent people. At least he would have some PR to manage his words in interviews.

[DMC]

He didn't make a racist comment. Mexican is a nationality. That flag they wave is a Mexican flag, is it racist to say so? There's no Mexican race. It's getting where you cannot even hate on people.

Its safe to say that when anybody utters the word Mexican the first thing that comes to people's minds is someone with brown skin.

You cannot control what comes to people's minds. The term "Mexican" is a proper term for a person from Mexico. The fact that Mexican-Americans wave a Mexican flag should be good enough to call them Mexicans.

[daslicer]

So then if he said "American" then he must be talking about a white man.

The majority of countries in the world have 0 diversity its just dominated by 1 race. How many white people live in Mexico? I'm sure they are a few but its very small. Its safe to say when Adrien screamed Mexican he was referring to Rodrigue, Jorge and company and not any other group of people. Also it doesn't make any sense for Adrien to scream I whooped an American lol since he is American.

He was doing the "can" joke... African..Mexican....so American would work as well.

The truth is that the term "Mexican" has taken on a derogatory meaning mostly due to how Mexicans acts in America. I don't see any problem calling someone a German, or Swiss, or any other nationality where the term automatically brings up images of a certain skin color.

Maybe but you can't fault him for being born when he was. There will always be what ifs. What if he bulked up grew a foot taller and went super heavy weight? Would he have the same speed?
It's stupid to bring up stuff like that because it will never happen.

[Franklin]

it depends on the context, DMC. It's fine to call a mexican mexican but it'd be a whole different story if you call someone mexican when you're sure as hell he/she isn't Mexican. It's like calling a picklebreath chink and you know it IS offensive, tbh.
