Uhhh nutranurse you realize Mayweather beat the poo poo out of several people who did not deserve to have the poo poo beaten out of them right

yeah but so do tons of other people and yet the ones who tend to get called out on it the hardest when theyre professional anything/celebs are black people. its not a coincidence.

theres a huge culture of watchdogs that hound famous blackfolk that jump on them at the slightest hint of anything wrong that theyd let slide if it were a white celeb doing the same thing :shrug:

Right but you shouldn't defend bad people just because their negative qualities have been accentuated by the media because of their race.

And besides, there are still a fair amount of Mayweather defenders, such as arch white person Donald Trump

the most important thing to focus on is that one of the reasons this fight took so long to happen is because mayweather had to spend time in jail for beating a woman

imo its real dickish to use your physicality to intimidate and/or harm anyone, regardless of your race and regardless of the victims gender, but youre loving kidding yourself if you dont think mayweathers issues werent played up more so than some of his white/not-black women-beating peers
