The Racism out of Pacquiao's Success is Di****able.

[re-run]

Tell ya in the philippines specially in far away provinces is full of racism we actually have cities and towns around here that don't allow chinese people to enter in them, live in them and make business in the area because they stereotype chinese as greedy *** bastards that will rip them off, yep it is like germany 1935. And they are led by brown pinoy organizations more like your local brown apartheid in the US with hatred towards chinese and other ********** because these ********** have become more richer and successfull than them

I did not know that. Which cities in particular? Damn, I know our own discussion has turned into something other than boxing. lol

I didnt start this thread to compare who's been more a victim of racism. I dont deny that filipinos have been racist towards any other race, I'm aware of that. My point is that not all remarks towards filipinos are a result of retaliation. Some of these remarks, such as those of carolla's stem from pacquiao's success.

No, Adam's comments come from his frustration that the biggest fight in years isn't happening because pac won't take the test to prove the mayweather's are full of ****. He only points out pac's race because from a lot of media and press he is getting a free pass when anyone who was born in the US would not. It has nothing to do with his success other than his success putting him in position for the failed pac v may megafight.

HUH??? You serious???

More than a million Pinoys died as a result of the American/Pinoy War...

There were general instructions of American military to kill every Pinoy above the age of ten.... That was about 1/10 of the entire population....

The difference is that some people actually remember that happening and the actual scars are still there while African-Slave trade was over 300-400 years ago...

Please dont get me started....

The American/Pinoy War had no racist connotations behind it. It wasn't a racial struggle. The war was a continuation of the Philippine struggle for independence, following the Philippine Revolution and the Spanish-American War. Claiming that was was racial is about as outrageous as claiming the Revolutionary War was racially motivated.

Btw, the Philippine-American war began in 1899 and ended in 1902. The African Slave Trade ended in early to mid 1800's, and racism was dominate in American culture until the late 60's, and early 70's.

But if you flip the scenario around and Pacquiao requested these tests and floyd refused to take them, I think Carolla's attack would still be towards Pacquiao (and unnecessary comments towards the Philippines) rather than Mayweather.

here is one

Is there evidence against pacquiao that he is using steroids? Is there already rules & regulations in place in the sport of boxing to find out whether or not pacquiao is using steroids? Yes.

.

Are there rules and regulations in boxing for weight penalties? Let the Commission do its job. Right?

It works both ways. Right?

How is saying something complimentary of a certain people's positive contribution to society the same as a blatantly incorrect negative accusation about them?

If you got accused of **** or stealing in america, there would have to be evidence of a **** or theft. Then there are rules, regulations, in place to find out if you ****d or stolen something. Is there evidence against pacquiao that he is using steroids? Is there already rules & regulations in place in the sport of boxing to find out whether or not pacquiao is using steroids? Yes.

What Floyd is asking for is not the same rules & regulations that have been in place in the sport of boxing. Floyd doesnt think its good enough. So if you are accused of **** & theft, there is no evidence against you, you are found innocent by the rules & regulations in place in this country, yet your accuser doesnt think its good enough, we should try you in accordance to chinese communist law. Would you entertain that thought & get dictated to?

I didnt think so either.

I wasn't aware gang violence and organized crime were positive contributions to society.

There's plenty of innocent people siting in prison that can attest to otherwise. Many Americans, especially those who are economically depressed, are often arrested and forced to prove their innocence in the court of law.

The rules suck, we all know this. The current testing policies are horrid, hence the shift towards more stringent policies.

Anyhow, this thread isn't about that. It's about this phantom racism aimed at Filipinos.

LOL!!!!!

If you dont think there wasnt anything racist regarding foreign policies in southeast asia and in Philippines in particular, then I knew you were ******ed...


President Mckinley's rationale for invading the Philippines was that he didnt believe Filipinos had the intellect to govern ourselve...

But whatever,,,, you'll always be ******....and nothing I can say will change that...

If Pac would have requested these test and Floyd would have refused, he'd be trashed by the media. Adam admitted that much.

Are you serious? At least half the people blame floyd now, and he wanted the drug tests which are a good thing. If floyd had declined the tests nobody other than ellerbe would support him. People hate floyd, and even though he deserves no hate for demanding the tests he still gets it. If Floyd turned down the tests he would be giving them a reason to hate and believe me they would. Pac would continue to be the angel of boxing with everyone talking about historic impact both inside and outside the ring.
