[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Thomas Hauser - At a January 18 press conference at Barclays Center to announce the March 4 championship bout between Keith Thurman and Danny Garcia, Angel Garcia (who trains his son) called Keith Thurman a "n*gg*r" (or "n*gga" or both).

Are you saying a flag is more important that a human being ?

something needs to be done but not sure what ? not only the words bothered me but it was just uncaused for.Had thurman directed anything towards Angel then i can understand some kind of exchange but this guy snapped.

NYSAC can't do **** to him. Garcia should go on an epic race rant. Then if they do try to violate his rights he can sue the **** out the state of New York. It may be privilege to get licensed but he has an absolute right to say what he's said.

Really? Do they have a permit? I tought it had expired... come to think of it I'd like to apply myself. Where do I send the application? Do I have to pay a fine for the times I've already used it first? Cuz that I can't afford I think

and what about theync . c om , and alot of other webisites I see alot of white people using it there? Must be easier to apply for an exemption on the internet

street talk, not in front of the press when you're supposed to be an ambassador for the sport...Also don't forget that Garcia knows he's in front of cameras and lots of people will be watching who don't know the N word is allowed to be used by Latinos etc (if thats even a thing, how dumb)...he shouldn't be allowed to speak at his sons conf. he's way too reckless

what are you talking about man?? i'm not talking about white american, from what i see from videos in the net, african-american dont really mind when latino use the N word.

i admit i am ignorant since i'm not american, but in my country the N word or to be specific the word "negro" is not derogatory term, it just another word for black. we have black people here in indonesia and we (the malay race) call them "negro" or other terms since they have black skin and they call us "sawo" because our skin have the same color as sawo fruit.

the N word is taboo in U.S and europe because it has tie to slavery and oppresion by white people, but for us who are equal since the beginning and also both oppress by european it just another word for black. the philippines even have island name negros.
