First topic message reminder :

Mayweather is about to announce his next opponent. http://www.boxingscene.com/mayweather-opponent-selected-announcement-coming--61673

Give me your top 3!

1. Guerrero.

Mayweather loves to beat up small Mexicans.

2. Pac Man.

Psyche!

3. Canelo.

Yeah, right. The most hyped man in boxing. Worse than A-Force pre-pancaking.

Tophat, are you female?

"I'm not racial stereotyping"

you've just said all black kids from the ghettos are hustlers...

geez.......

Because I eat a healthy breakfast?

Or because I laugh at and belittle you so much which you're used to getting from girls?

Both.

And Truss, you are making me out to be racists, which if you knew my race would make you feel very, very silly.

I remember when you were making jokes about posters who have passed away. I didn't jump all over that horror show now did i?

Davide, none of us are even clear what SPECIES you are some days, let alone your race!

Thanks dave667

I'm pointing out that you are racial stereotyping....

No i am not. It's a specific case spoken of by Mayweather.

You sir, belittle dead people and should be banned.

Plus, you know nothing of race. You're so obviously a Yank who hangs the Yank flag outside his Yank house and spends his weekends shooting stuff and glorifying the NRA whilst stuffing their obese face with fast-food and weak american beer.

Now that's stereotyping.

I hate people who generalise.

I've traveled the world and lived all over it and one thing is clear, people can be stupid.

TRUSS is one of those people.

Ah Chris, Nottingham's finest.

Someone else who spends his weekends shooting stuff...

I don't like weak beer...

I have to say Emore has stereotyped, even if he's black himself, its still stereotyping. Its a stereotype that people from Liverpool have an afro and a mustache and walk around saying "calm down, calm down" and steal cars and stuff. If I said that, I as a white person wouldn't be being racist unless I said "whites from Liverpool" but I would be stereotyping. (its Love sacks btw - scousers are some of the best people I've ever known)

Emore is doing it on a racial level, perhaps not to BE racist, but still, reference to his colour still implies racial undertones.

Davidemore, you do make yourself look rather silly.

Oh yes, the old 'only white people can be racist' chesnut. This is going to end well......

Good post JM..

Feel free to come and shoot some stuff with me..we'll have some weak beer afterwards at the Oyster.

Call for me. Mine is the house in Didsbury with the flag outside!

Paging Az...that's Az to the thread at his earliest convenience.

Thank You

Racism is stupidity and anyone who is racist is stupid. Fact.

Some good examples of cliched stereotyping here.

TRUSS has probably used a few of them in his time. And they say ignorance is bliss... nope.

So tell us Davide, whay ARE you unhappy?

Don't start playing the race card....

All I wrote was that you were racial stereotyping.....which you were..

Dave667 i am unhappy because these people have probably never been anywhere to experience any other races. They wont have lived as a minority. Sure, they might be well read (books, not internet articles) but it's not the same. It saddens me, that's all.

I wasn't TRUSS, i was paraphrasing Mayweather's own words. Hardly the same.

How old were you when you learnt how to read, TRUSS?

Truss at no point called you a racist, he implied you racially stereotyped, which you did.

You can't argue that point.

Stereotyping on a racial level can be tantamount to racism, but it is still stereotyping which is ridiculous to say the least from a member of this board which I imagine is very culturally diverse.

"Never experienced any other races".....how patronising.

1. You want to try living in Roxbury......in the late 80's!!

2. I came over here I didn't know anybody but my betroved (good word that) and her family....

If anybody has felt isolated it's me....

Now you wrote a piece that racially stereotyped blacks from the ghetto.....end of!!

I never called you a racist..just pointed it out!!

Jabmachine, you said you weren't going to fight with me anymore. Have you been drinking? If so throw some pills in your can will you, and possibly some bleach.

"1. You want to try living in Roxbury......in the late 80's!!" Why? because poor multicultural people are so disgusting??? you racist ***

Chris. Rowley. Anyone else with the power.

Time this one got locked?

Truss you're getting exactly what you deserve for lowering yourself into engaging with him.

"Mayweather is a street kid, He's from the poor ghettos, it is in him to naturally try and hustle an advantage out of his opponent"

That's paraphrasing is it?????

I'm on it, Il G. Locked.

And it's betrothed not 'betroved'. Drawing attention to your literary ineptness only makes you seem more vulgar.

Mook.
