    Perhaps Reg shouldn't try to act as if he knows why white people dislike them, since, well, he doesn't know how white people think since's not one? That's basically his argument isn't it? Yet he's dooig it here.

    And from now on, only Filipino posters can say what Pac thinks or feels...for the same BOGUS reasons. :lol:

    IQ?

    So you're suggesting the test was rigged or white America will rarely give credit to a black player for being an intelligent athlete. I don't dismiss the latter, but I'm just asking you. I know of the statistics of commentators that use the words "smart and intelligent" more disproportionately toward white athletes. At the same time they used the words like "brawn" more for black athletes. This is generally a matter of perception. Whether it's rooted in reality or truth in some aspect is another question. But then again, I remember you claiming what I'm suggesting... that is that perhaps genealogically or genetically certain races may have certain superior attributes. I don't know what to say regarding the matter, I'm not really grounded on any side of the debate. But what makes West Africans awesome sprinters, and East Africans terrific long distance runners may be a matter of culture, and not genetics.

    If political correctness won't allow the truth on such a matter come out. Although, maybe the differences are truly incredibly marginal and it's just a case of the poorer people in America being black and being more motivated to try and find a way out. That's probably the case, anyway. However, I'd heard you suggest otherwise. And of course you hear people talk about how whites breed strong black partners together like horses. Others say that the science of 400 years of genetic building isn't going to change the genetics or evolution much. I mean, I know people from West African and they're built well naturally as well. Honestly, though, if this political incorrectness is what you believe... who is to the same controversial matter doesn't apply to intelligence either? Maybe that's part of what makes white athletes succeed so well due to their unimpressive physical attributes.

    First off, I never mentioned anything about racism. You're again failing to grasp the concept here. Second, the highlighted part shows just how off base you are. Had I said the people on the bottom of the list belonged on the top of the list, you would have a point. Answer me this, do you believe it's a coincidence that the bottom six are all black? Or, do you believe that black athletes as a whole are more unlikeable for genuine reasons outside of racial bias, and therefore are consequently much more likely to more disliked? It would seem that you would have to believe one or the other if you don't think racial bias is in play here.

    C'mon man, I know you are smarter than this. You don't need to empathize with a candidate, for the most part, in order to vote for him. You just have to believe in his ablility to lead and implement positive change. Now personality flaws can come into play. However, Obama has no big ones. There were no big scandals or verbal missteps with him. Now I bet if he had all the sexual harrassment allegations against him that Bill Clinton had prior to him running, he probably wouldn't have been elected. Obama being elected doesn't somehow erase the hundreds of years of history, in terms of race relations, in this country.

    You're still not getting it. FOTY is an award based solely on in ring accomplisments. If Floyd is perfroming head and shoulders over the comp, they can't deny him. My claim isn't that whites are looking to screw black people over anytime they get a chance. My claim is that the cultural differences and history of racial tension between the two, causes whites to be prone to have a more negative view of blacks than they do their white counterparts.

    I never said this. You continuely try hammer me for a point I never made. Mexicans, in general, aren't going to hate a fighter because he's black. However, they are more likely to view a black fighter negatively than they are a Mexican fighter; even if that black fighter acts in a similar way to a well liked Mexican fighter.

    These are trivial slights. You know this. Chad is actually a pretty good teammate. They are much crazier and worse teammates, who happened to be white, than Chad.


    What the **** does this have to with anything? Do you want me to list all the black people who have been falsely accused of a crime? I can list a bunch who were not only falsley accused, but spent decades in jail. The Duke Lacrosse team almost got royally screwed. However, the prosecuter ended up getting fired, numerous news outlets had specials detailing the problems with the case, they were never convicted, and they all got huge settlements from Duke. None the less, this is all off topic anyway.


    I never said this. You're again arguing against things I'm not saying.

    You're very naive if you think everyone views the world in the same way. They don't. And race does have an effect on your perspective. I realized this a while ago.

    Again, you're still not getting it. Whether or not someone is a dick is all a matter of opinion. Our racial bias plays a role in how we form these opinions. LeBron James is a model citizen. He's done everything right and he exercised his right to go to another team. The only thing he did wrong was have that special. And for that he's now one of the most hated athletes in the world; more hated than guys like Roethlisberger, Clemons, or Favre. Now this could be coincedence. I could understand how white people would view it as a coincidence and opine how LeBron deserves his spot on the list. Now if you can't understand why a Black American would opine that racial bias played a factor in LeBron being so hated, then we are not going to get anywhere with this disucssion. You'll just continue to disagreee with me and hurl insults.

    I remember seeing a guy on ESPN (He was black) talking about how white America tends to care more about moral issues regarding sports, which is why they seemed to have a lowered opinion of Ben Rothelsberger and Bret Favre. And that race was much less of an issue. He said that blacks don't seem to mind any moral issues as much as whites, and that they're more concerned with the talent of athletes. Interesting, nevertheless.

    I said Q scores, not IQ scores. Q scores measure how well liked a person is by the public.

    I don't agree with this. However, it's an interesting point none the less.

    blacks should have more reason to hate floyd than whites, he makes their race look bad, when liberals say that its the econmic situation that makes blacks commit crimes, then we get a douche like mayweather who is super rich and still gets arrested, kinda throws their theory out the window.
    Seriously how many people do you know that make 65 mil a year and act like that. Is it race no, its his ****ing attitude.

    I think you're understating exactly what Lebron James did, and how he did it. I won't even get into minor statements he has said which can get people off your side. However, the idea of a Lebron coming together with one of the top 5 players in the league, and then perhaps a top 3 player at his position to try and almost rig the NBA, and then defend his actions by claiming there have been other big 3's just like theirs (Nonsense).

    Look, I have no problem with what he did he has the right to do what he wanted. The whole July 2nd attention-whoring special, and stringing along the public and 6 franchises in the balance when you know all along that you probably weren't going to go to those teams definitely left a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouths. The fact that he took the easy route out only adds to the fact that people have lost respect for him. Again, it's not just whites that turned on Lebron (Although in much greater number). And it's not just blacks in Cleveland. Lastly, besides being an ego-maniac, I've seen more than a few share of articles talking about how much of an egotistical ******* the guy is. Again, you can blame the media on that one.

    As for the rest of the hated list, well it doesn't have to explain why they're on the list.
