Current Events > Mayweather thinks McGregor is racist, too. Fuck off, SJWs

(+) Yeah! (+)

Mayweather, one of the GOATs of boxing, thinks McGregor is a racist because he said, "Dance for me, boy."

What McGregor said -

Someone asking Mayweather about it -

You would think he would set the record strait and just shrug if off and talk shit back, but he seems to be dancing around the issue. "It is what it is." "He can feel what he feels."

My God, what a fucking Country we live in these days

An Irish man racist? No way!
---

Yes, the skanger is racist
---

Sjw? Lol

I see this is really bugging you...
---

Truly racist: Maybe not.

Dumb enough to say the exact same thing racists said back in the 1800s: Yup.



The real reason Floyd isn't just putting an end to it is because it's news, and literally ANY news is good for boxing. Makes people want to see the fight more, and the more people that see the fight the bigger paycheck it is for both men.

Until you remember that he isn't American and that they have different phrases. I bet he's a homophobic piece of shit too if he called a cigarette a *** (Terrible F word for gay men) because that is a name they're called in Europe and Australia
---

Racial, ethnic, and cultural slurs are all a big part of his psychological warfare and he's so far been an equal opportunist. I find it incredibly distasteful and wouldn't be surprised if he's truly racist, but people do and say all kinds of shit for money.

FWIW, Mayweather made racist remarks about Pacquiao so meh.
---

considering McGregor's "dancing monkeys" comment, and also what he said about Diaz, at the very least, McGregor is concisely using racially charged language (for whatever reasons,)
---

Money doesn't care


He'd probably care more if you called him poor
---

I remember Conor tried to make it seem like Irish people had it worst than Black people.
---

smh


Pathetic
---

Yup it was a offensive thing to say but it isn't something to make a big deal out of.

It's a problem when people argue it isn't a racist thing to say ignoring context and tone. Flat out ignoring the issue cause your tired of hearing about "racism"

That was a excellent response from Mayweather "it is what it is" ignore the shit talk and focus on the positive.

I'd argue it's the same on the other side as well. People hear trigger words and just automatically go fucking crazy, even when it had no racist context at all

Okay, that's pretty bull shit then. Thank you

It's interesting how Mayweather has always played the bad guy most of his career but somehow McGregor is coming across as the bigger asshole in this match-up
---

this just in, people who beat the shit out of strangers for a living have negative personality traits

It's WWE level lmao

I didn't watch it, but I thought someone said the "boy" comment came after he was calling Mayweather a small little child and shit like that. It didn't sound particularly racist the way it was described to me.

The Diaz comment on the other hand was obviously racially charged.

It's pretty much what McGregor has built his career on, and more or less the only reason he was offered this fight

I honestly feel like he's doing this either because he believes he has a genuine chance of losing, or he knows that he's gonna dominate.

Irish people use "Boy" all the damn time, in every context imaginable.
To imply that it was racist is ridiculous and shows a complete lack of understanding.

Nope.
This like saying a guy from new Jersey uses boy to address black people because people in the South use boy often.

I don't really understand why TC is triggered. Since when does thinking someone's racist but saying they have a right to be that way make someone a SJW?

I guess you can say it's ridiculous to see how other people consider it racist if you just ignore the last 100 years or so of history of racial relations.

So like every Mayweather fight, ever.

Mcgregor is a racist
Mayweather beats women
Manny cheats on his wife and says gay people don't deserve to live


What a surprise that people who beat the shit out of other people for a living, would be trash human beings!!

Can we all fast forward to the part where Mayweather has won and we can put this shame to bed?

Paulie - That's your problem.

Because I'm fucking sick at everything being racist, homophobic or misogynistic. These things exist in the world, but it's not every little thing. So yeah, it does upset me a bit. I'm just so sick of oversensitive babies

Actually it was.
See, Racist Dickhead is using the excuse "b-but it's okay in Ireland".
No, you bull faced dickhead, it's used in like one fucking place. Well away from where the fuck you grew up in.

So you see, this is like a man from New Jersey saying it's okay to use boy to refer to black guys because Southerners do it.

Do you know anything about Irish history? Like he once said, there was a period in time where having the name "McGregor" could get one imprisoned or killed.

There was a time when speaking Irish got you killed, legally.

It's not like that now. On the other hand, racism is still very much alive.

Whatever, CE is clearly not the place to talk about this.

He probably didn't mean it in a racial connotation, but he should have been more aware of how that has been used in the past. No excuse.

Floyd's comments are most likely just to hype the fight just like everything else that's being said. Smart marketing. Still, it's wrong on McGregor.

Rap stars fully mean it when they call people homophobic names, but people bump that shit driving down the road. And yet here we are complaining about someone calling a grown man a boy to talk shit.

MacGregor said something meant to inflame tensions and drum up talk before a fight. He has a long history of toeing (or straight up crossing) the line into outright racism for the purpose of fight antagonism. It's okay to discuss this. It's healthy to discuss this. Not talking about it because the subject makes you uncomfortable would be nothing but political correctness.

Congratulations, you got 1 article in there from the last 5 years. [2 of of them. 1 in the last 4 years]

People that get super upset over trivial words like "boy" and then go out and spend money to bump music calling people f_____

Don't get me wrong, I mostly listen to rap. I love the music, and I don't give a single shit about the words they use. Just like I don't care what words white people use. We now live in America where white people simply don't have the freedom of speech. Do you think anyone would put out an album on Spotify calling black people N___? How quickly would that get shut down? What would happen if someone was driving down the street listening to one of these songs?

It's words, that's it. Stop being oversensitive

Who's stopping you from you spouting off stupid shit right now? We have freedom of speech. We do not have immunity from criticism, and nor should we.

Black person raps about how his rival is a F____ = Millions of $
White person calls a black guy, "boy," = Let's make him lost his job

Yes, it's a double standard and while there are slow signs of improvement, it is still not good enough.

What does it have to do with Connor MacGregor?
