    I'm black so I get what people are sayin. But forreal, we gotta be less sensitive about racism, or say less racist ? . Floyd says he's gonna make Manny make him some sushi and rice. If Manny said he was gonna make Floyd make him fried chicken and watermelon, people would say he's bein racist.

    If someone says the same thing back to you and you find it offensive, you need to not say that ? in the first place. Or grow thicker skin.

    Man, everything ain't racist. People have become so dependent on the media to think for them, that its hypersensitivity has everyone riled up at the FIRST sign of political incorrectness.

    Why do you think writers like Jamele Hill or that fat ? Jason Whitlock can base 90% of their article they write on race in some form and still be looked at as a credible journalist? Because people have gotten to the point where they need their ego coddled about the black race still striving to be accepted in this country.

    I'm not saying racisim is gone in America. Far from it. But, it's fear tactics like this that has made people really stupid and quick to belive that if your on some koom-bye-yah ? , you MUST be racist.

    The guy I feel bad for is the dude that got fired at ESPN for his "? In the Armor" headline. I could see where he was going with that, illustrating how the Knicks FINALLY lost a game since Lin became a starter, but people blew that WAAAAAY out of proportion, pegged dude a racist, and ESPN canned him.

    Damn shame. Dana White should be smacked for this ? . Floyd's not a racist. Cocky, arrogant, a little dumb, yeah. But not racist.

    i think people tend to confuse ? with racism....

    ? say ? to get a reaction, and say ? to ? people off...and in general jsut say random offensive ? without even considering for a second how people may take it.....


    racist really don't like people of other races and have a strong deep seeded hate in their comments regarding them...


    what floyd said was some ? ? ...he's an ? .....i don't think this is news to anyone...

    but the ironic thing is that a lotta closet racist are surfacing in response to his ? comments....

    What Floyd said wasn't racist, but if Pac said something to the equiv, blacks would be all over him talking about how his racist.

    So of course Floyd is going to be called racist.

    "nappy headed hoes."

    ^ When blacks jump at things like that, and label it racist, it makes it hard to defend Floyd.

    disagree, Don imus deserved to be called out for that ?

    When he was told that he was wrong, his response was "well the rappers are saying it too"

    What Floyd said about Lin isn't fully wrong. There's truth to it, part of Lin's appeal is that he's asian and went to Havard.

    Stereotypes are racist. If Manny said Floyd wants a bigger cut of the fight from the money so he can buy extra chains, weed, and 40's he'd be racist. That's not racist because he's just sayin stereotypes? Gettin mad at Imus and laughin at this is hypocritical

    Floyd is dumb though he shouldn't have said that everyone on ESPN says he was a ? for speaking up for black players for some unknown reason.
