    He should have made weight, but he didn't fail to make weight because he's black. He is pompous and obnoxious (in a trying to be funny sort of way) but that has nothing to do with being black either. If someone has a beef, state it. Especially if it's legitimate. Racial comments don't enhance the argument, they just show the stupidity of the commenter.

    Exactly. Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas Hearns, Marvin Hagler, etc were some of the most admired athletes back in the day without having to act like dickheads.

    Broner got a fine ass female. her face TO ME is 2x better than Miss Jackson. Miss Jackson got a pretty smile no doubt, her teeth are perfect, but she look fake and her nose is too pointy (no homo, im just being honest)

    Look man, I despise Broner as a human being, but when you bring words like chimp or ****** into the conversation discussing a black man there are obvious racial overtones and to deny that is naive.

    Just curtail potentially racist language and tone in the future. Thank you.

    People, we aren't omniscient and aren't going to automatically know every time someone makes a racist post.

    USE THE REPORT POST BUTTON if you see a violation.

    Why. We are all descended from the same tree and share a linage with monkeys and apes. So, you are saying a black man can call a white man chimp or ****** but there is no racial overtone then? Seems like a double standard to me.

    I'd consider this racist myself. Obvious race baiting. I've often said racism is the ultimate form of laziness. Claiming you are superior based on some supposed birth right. This is EXACTLY what is happening here any we all know it. Does this count even though it doesn't use the word "******" or "chimp"?

    Except he's doing no such thing.

    Pimp merely claims that "black fighters [happen to achieve] dominance in the sport at the elite level" - which is proven empirically by things like championships and rankings. Nowhere does he say it's because of a genetic predisposition to superiority or being some athletic ubermensch or any such gobbledygook.'

    If you report posts like that, I'm going to get pissed off. :yep

    Now, if someone uses the word that describes what Saltines and Triscuits both are in a racial context against a white person, or the N-bomb against a black person, etc. - report those posts.

    And no, it isn't just about the words themselves necessarily, there can be racist language that crosses the line and can reasonably be deemed as offensive without technically including a prohibited slur - but that Pimp C post you quoted is not a good example.

    "Baiting" is an extremely subjective determination to make, and it isn't a violation of any rule.

    So, all they "hey nucca's and ni99a's is OK as long as they are used in a way your perceive as "friendly"? Maybe I'll just stop posting cuz I don't know how anyone is going to react to any individual post at any particular time. Pimp C was doing some pretty obvious race baiting in my opinion. Oh well, waste to much time here anyhow. So long. :hi:

    A bit dramatic, no? We're cracking down on overt racism, that's all, it shouldn't be a dealbreaker for anyone in terms of continuing to post here.

    Heartbreaking, we truly lost a great poster today... :lol::lol: Okay I can't say that without laughing. Don't let the door hit you on the way out crybaby. You want to understand what isn't allowed and what is. Don't call people racial slurs and you won't get in trouble.
