...and the pitch! posted:Context is important so probably not. The context is that I call everyone boy except for black people and I assumed that guy was white but if I knew he wasn't, I wouldn't have called him boy, and therefore would have been treating him differently than everyone else specifically because of his skin color.

...and the pitch! posted:No. Why are you coming after me instead of people who excuse racism? Because it happened, what, two days ago, and literally no one except some dudes on the internet care anymore. If it was in a different context it may have meant more to the societal structure of these United States but it happened during a freak show circus act and most people can see it for what it is, not some underlying narrative about the racial tensions of native Irishmen and blacks.

So it's OK to be racist if you make a circus out of it? Nope. edit: I wish I was smart enough to understand when it is OK to say racist things. Apparently it's all the time because of a bevy of excuses.

But you're not going to bring the systematic racism structure of America down by making a big deal about a circus act that is going to be washed over by a thousand more sensationalist terms, like, you know, the black guy calling the white guy a human being. This is not worth your time.

And avoiding a potential fight with someone who has to think about their skin color every day. It is forced on them. Sometimes they get called boy in a tone you wouldn't accept.

Work Friend Keven posted:I feel like Floyd is being a little bit racist by being an illiterate woman beater who spends all his money on flashy pointless objects while being actually poor. That's not who black people in America are and he's portraying them in a negitive way that's consistent with stereotypes. JaySB posted:You people are insufferable.

Jose posted:probably related to all the mma posters since the normal boxing threads are really good lemme just say that afaik none of the horrible posting is being done by the MMA thread regulars. It's almost like freak shows tend to attract a special breed of idiot that's invested in neither sport, yet has strong opinions about both.

TBH an endless thread arguing about casual racism is probably better than the actual fight thread and actual fight will be. Maybe we can get some judges in here to score the argument or something.
