But like this?



Seriously, I don't get it?

Please explain.

Big difference. Mayweather is just rich, but he's not wealthy. He earns his money through his trade (throwing hands) and then goes out and flaunts it like an ignorant clown. I actually saw a video where he literally burned money. What an idiot.

Republicans would respect a guy like Magic Johnson. Here's a guy who leveraged his basketball and endorsement earnings into a business empire. He opened mad Starbucks chains, gyms, movie theatres, and gave lots of youth, especially in low-income areas, jobs. That dude is amazing. He's said to be the next black billionaire in the US. His net worth right now is somewhere between $800-900 million.

Or even a guy like Jordan. Republicans would like a rich guy who just lives a quiet life and stays out of social issues.

As for the Romney pic, I don't think Republicans like it. It caught a lot of controversy actually and Romney had to explain it in interviews and debates.

It's hard to disagree with him because it's one of the most no-shit statements I've heard in a while. Yeah, part of why this guy is getting attention is that he's Asian--no one's denying it. Nothing to see here.

G,

Kind of surprised by this posting. Given that you're such a huge fan of Spain and all, aren't you aware of the high level of anti-African racism there?





Here is another article on it.

Brazilian soccer player Daniel Alves, also black, currently plays for Barcelona in the Spanish league and says he deals with the racist taunts from soccer fans almost every game:


"Unfortunately, I have learned how to live with it," he told the Associated Press. "Every match the crowd goes after me. They insult me, call me 'monkey.'

Anti-Americanism through charges of racism work great in theory but less so in practice when you compare with other countries.

what happens in other countries is irrelevant.

They hate it because they all want to watch Pacquiao vs. Mayweather and it is pissing them off.

Just like everyone else.

EDIT: Holy old thread, person above me.
