Let's Talk About How Twitter Became 'N1gger' Central After the Mayweather Fight

[Drones]

After Floyd won his fight, a quick search of Twitter shows person after person outright calling Floyd a ****** and a mayate or whatever other slur you can think of for black people...

Yet we're always caping for other groups, talking about 'black & brown' people while they freely use mayate to denigrate black folks. Same for Asians, whites, you name it.

I also find that Floyd fights tend to expose racists, whether it be in our personal lives, on TV, in print, or online...

We are all we got, and the backlash Floyd gets every time he fights illuminates that fact.

In order for other ethnic groups to gain 'White Privileges' they must denigrate 'Black' people.

That's how the Irish did it in the 19th Century.​

i dont do twitter/social media too heavy so im not understanding how are these ppl so brave to drop these racist slurs without fear of consequence. I see some posts with their pics and government names attached. Are there no repurcussions for this extremely public display of bigotry???

shyt was disgusting. should form an organization that finds these people and confronts them on camera

they do it cause they'll never be checked

this is what im saying. why are there no repurcussions?? do these people not have black neighbors/coworkers??

Par for course. Any time a black athlete or public figure has been very confident/vocal about their ability and can back it up it angers a lot of white people. For some reason they think all black people in those circumstances should be quiet and humble when there are white athletes that have carried themselves in similar fashion as Mayweather. Perhaps not as flashy but surely confident and vocal about it.

You see the same thing with Jon Jones Fights on youtube.... most commenters go above and beyond to critique his fighting style as if they are professional trainers or train with Jones...

We only got us.

Racists are everywhere.

Just another reminder that the enemies are alive and well.

A lot of MMA fans and fighters don't like this guy.

But just like with Floyd, a lot like the trash talk, too

Another guy that gets a lot of fan hate.

DC and Rumble don't get that. Or even Mighty Mouse for that matter.


SN: there was a recent article about the history of boxing and how it pretty much built its popularity by trafficking in race wars.

I'll see if I can find it

They can't accept that he's a champion and secretly and openly, everybody was hoping the "Black Man" was "taken down"..........

They're used to having us on the "bottom" and/or taking us off the "TOP"........I'm relishing in their jealousy and angst burning in them..........

Side Note: While I'm proud of the big bro, I still do not respect what boxing has become today, to heavily commercialized and corporatized.

In short.. There are no repercussions as long your are talking about black people. Cac's and other groups do not police their own. Never have. They always talk like this about blacks behind closed doors. The only time something may happen is if enough black folks directly call the individuals out, find their employers etc..
