Recently, I've been questioning Floyd's leadership.

    So should Floyd lie and say he was not nice to him?

    Really it comes down to outrage culture, and Floyds first hand experience with it being aimed at him.

    If someone had a hidden camera/mic on you for the past 2 years, or anyone who posts here for that matter I am 100% positive that you have said something to someone that, taken by itself could be used against you were you suddenly to become a high profile figure.

    Sterling apparently said something objectionable in private. I dont know the specifics, or give the slightest fk about it. But that a codgety old billionaire has unpleasant aspects to his personality should surprise noone. And the "outcry" and appeals to mob outrage mentality I have seen bandied about are far more sickening and hypocritical than anything one old rich ******* could have said.

    Your mistake was looking to an uneducated spoiled rotten pro athlete with zero redeeming qualities for leadership and investing so much emotion into someone who has never and would never give u the time of day.

    Sterling hates black people

    Floyd loves him because he has money

    There is nothing to defend, just a sad miserable old man who didn't like his gold digger hanging around the blacks

    Usher wrote one less lonely girl for an already famous ****** beiber
    Beiber has a team around him to stop this kind of ****, if this has got out, just imagine what didn't get out

    ****** took a song written by a black man for him, and turned it into a joke about killing black people

    Yeah, I got a problem with that

    I don't think being 14 is a good enough excuse

    Usher wrote that song, and helped him, signed him- ****** , at this point had been around black people- he wasn't still in white canada ( yes I am aware Canada is far from all white, just trying to reinforce the point about him being a kid therefore immune to jokes about killing black people)

    Some people just aren't very sensitive.

    I'm one of them.

    These are all non-stories to me.

    Any time spent on them is unjustly rewarding negative behavior with attention.

    Who cares?

    Not me...

    Holy crap, there are black people who consider Floyd a leader of their community?!? Wtf? You can't be serious. The guy is a total dong, and a absolute dispicable racist himself ( not that most black Americans give a crap about their own kind being racist).

    That would be like me saying "As a white man in America, I'm really starting to question ****** Beibers leadership. Sure he made racist comments towards blacks, but I don't care at all about that. My problem is that Floyd has made racist comments about "white boys", yet the Bieb still hangs out with and supports Floyd. I really have to think about my support for Beiber".

    Why the fcuk does it edit the name JustAn? Is he really that controversial?

    Great post dude!

    I'm a big Mayweather fan but he needs to stop the BS!! Sometimes he thinks he can say what he wants and people are going to agree with him but Black folks are not down with that **** expect for his Money Team.

    So I assume then you guys are really dissappointed with Floyds comments on the UFC being only for untalented white boys and his racist comments toward Jeremy Linn and Manny, right?:think

    I never heard him say anything racist about Manny or Lin, i probably dont pay attention that much.

    I remember the UFC cooment and i kinda of agree. he really meant that "Most white guys cant box so they go to UFC", I kinda of agree with that. I mean how many great white fighters are there right now in boxing honestly?? Not many, i think is true not racist.

    I question the mindset that has you (and other "young, black men and women" that I know) looking at people as your leaders because they have the same skin color as you do. Hell, the fact you even talk about the "black community" weirds me out...imagine a young white man talking about the "leaders of the white community." Sounds fuucking disturbing to me.

    I would think intelligent people were beyond this sort of thing by now. Nationalism (loyalty to ethnicity and country of origin) is backward enough and now we have people reverting to racism (loyalty to skin color) and it's somehow totally acceptable :huh

    In recent history yould have Hatton, Froch, Slappy, Canelo(yes he's white), Kelly Pavlik, Kovalev, GGG( kinda), Sergio(kinda), the World Heavyweight Champion and the Mayor of Kiev. I'm sure I'm leaving some out, but there's enough.

    I think its pretty crappy to say you are dissappointed by Floyd not jumping on Stern/Beiber, but brushed off or didn't pay attention to Floyds comments on Lin only getting attention because he's aisian or that he's going to chop up some dogs with a samuri sword and feed them to Manny. Note:That comment was pretty funny, but very racist as well. Manny is not Jappanese either. Floyds racist and ignorant apparently.

    Thanks Bunk, you of all people here, know that I support him as a fighter. I've wrote articles praising him, all that. And Im not saying I expected him to come out and say **** Bieber, and **** Sterling. But at the very least acknowledge that it was wrong. Dont go around defending them. That's my only thing. I can understand taking the high road, maybe even a "no comment", but to go out of your way defending both? I can't imagine, and I haven't seen anyone else do that. He doesn't have to curse them or degrade them but at least, AT LEAST say that it was unacceptable. By defending them, it's basically saying you're okay with it. If someone dissed you and your people, and someone in your people decided to take the high road, thats fine. I can respect that. but if they go on to say " Well Maybe they had a reason to diss you guys, Im proud of what he's accomplished" How would you feel?Thats my only point, you know? I guess it's easy to paint me as the angry black guy overreacting, as the guy who's "too sensitive" but dammit Im tired of seeing and hearing about things like this. Everyone being okay with everything. If that makes me someone whos overreacting than so be it. I'd rather be the guy who overreacts than be the guy who doesn't react at all.

    Damn he said that?? Well i dont remember bro. Maybe because the press is all over Bieber way more then Lin was, thats the press's fault i didnt hear about that. U knowq how it is these days. Biber is one of those guys that cant go no where without people posting about him because he does dumb ****.

    As for the white guys...u just mentioned a bunch of people that arent white :patsch:patsch

    Kovlaev?? are u serious?? GGG?? Serigo?? :lol::lol::lol:
    Dude there not white
