Simple question: Is Floyd Mayweather a racist or not?

[Redd Foxx]

People can often say hurtful things without believing in what they are stating. Ever call someone a *******ual slur without actually believing that the individual was *******ual? When the purpose is to upset someone, the most effective weapons are usually words that we don't actually believe. That said, Floyd doesn't seem to have a high opinion of our friends in the far east.

Ignorance is not an excuse...

[alexguiness]

Of course Floyd is a racist.

This is mainly a result of his lack of education and overall ******ity.

He is the black equivalent of a redneck.

[The Noose]

With him its a combination of ignorance and ego. He seems to feel superior to all others yet also has a huge chip on his shoulder that has been passed down from his uncle and father.
He plays the victim/race card whenever he can, but fails to see people dislike him because of his attitude, not his colour.


In a way he is a victim of his success. Being surrounded by brown-nosers, and feeling like he is beyond criticism because of his bank account and his 'zero'.

I think he ticks every prejudice in the book, so yea, id have to say he is a racist.

Ignorance is not an excuse...

I never even made a reference at ignorance. How you read that, I don't know. What I said is that it's common for people to say hurtful things without truly believing the words they are saying. You've done it in one form or another. We all have. Race is just one way in which it happens. I'm not excusing him or saying that makes it ok, just stating facts.

Simple answer to a simple question. YES

[alexguiness]

Floyd's standard response to ANY criticism is;

"Haters just jealous doe"

He is just too ****** to understand that many successful and wealthy are admired and respected, the difference is that these people behave in an entirely different way.

Floyd's personality (or lack of one) is what lets him down.

[General STRUGG]

Floyd is a racist who plays the race card and victim angle more than any boxer in history including ali and hagler.

[Elroy1]

I voted yes...

Basically it was because I feel that he knows personally not to blatantly abuse people based on race because of his profile but he has given plenty of indirect indication and dropped a few borderliners from time to time that would lend credence to it.

He also presents us with a faction of supporters that are the most blatant and vile racists in the boxing community, for which he seems to stick his head in the sand about all the time and never shuts down any of it.

And then, intuitively, I "feel" it's kind of obvious he's a racist.

I hope Pac beats the hell out of him!

He just doesn't like asians.

1. He did a racist rant video about Pacquiao a few years ago.

2. He discredited Jeremy Lin when he was having his moment with the Knicks.
