It's kinda funny watching people talk about how americans don't like violence when in fact we glorify violence- or symbol of freedom is the gun. Violence is a part of the american culture and it comes off as insincere to talk about nonviolence in the current US culture.

one of my current least favorite things in the world is people going "I condemn all violence" bc like that's actually an insanely radical position but it's supposed to demonstrate how reasonable you are

Yea, the "all violence is bad!" argument is basically the "all lives matter" argument in another sweater.

The funny thing about the "Antifa is dumb/wrong because there's no real risk of Nazis gaining power" argument is that you can flip it onto its head to counter their own "what if Antifa start roaming the streets and punching random people" argument.

i'm so tired of this surface-level political analysis applied to everything in existence, in this case Mayweather/MacGregor

quote:

If you look at this on a social dynamic, not only is Floyd Mayweather fighting for the survival of boxing, and to prove that boxing is a superior sport over MMA. I think, he’s also fighting for victory for blacks and Latinos, who primarily watch boxing, over blue-collar, white Americans who watch mixed martial arts. On the other side, you have people who hate brash, African-American boxers, and have labeled them as all flash, and they’re rooting for a guy who says he’s mastered numerous styles of fighting, in Conor McGregor.

Now this is bigger than a fight, or the supremacy of one sport, or the legacy of a boxer, or the legacy of MMA as a sport. When you look at the racial environment, now it’s black versus white. Now it’s Donald Trump supporters versus people of color.
personally i don't want to watch it because it'll be 12 rounds of boring crap with a decision to Mayweather

you can write a good article about how McGregor/Mayweather is (or was, since it's finished) a continuation of the tensions between white and black boxers and the fans who cheer for them. people freaked the gently caress out about Joe Louis's domination back in the day, and they freaked out even more when Muhammad Ali proved he wasn't going to tone down what he said for the approval of white society

saying "this fight represents Trump supporters vs. PoC" is the laziest opinion

It's seems like there's more effort to racialize the fight ex post facto than leading up to it.

boxing's been a battleground for racial supremacy going back decades, that's why you could write something actually meaningful about it than just Generic Trump's America Comparison #48932. crane fist's point is fair so you gotta be cautious in writing it

Well, all the odds were against Connor and he expectedly lost. So it's weird that, say, Richard Spencer would claim Connor as a white man now after he lost.

Be weirder if he claimed Mayweather as a champion of the white race imo
