OT Floyd Mayweather Asks IRS for Tax Reprieve Until After Conor McGregor Fight

[dviss1]

okay obviously we disagree on racial issue, it is what it is. I think these days we have reached a certain level of equality and now it's just a power struggle for who is in control and it's ridiculous

This couldn't be any further from the truth.

agree to disagree

 

[dviss1]

agree to disagree

Racism doesn't affect you so you have no perspective to disagree with.

 

[dviss1]

I just saw a commercial for Spirit Mountain saying that the fight is still on. Is this shit happening or what???

 

[Cippy91]

.....lol. Sorry I forgot white people cant have opinions on anything

 

[dviss1]

.....lol. Sorry I forgot white people cant have opinions on anything

I've never said nor do I believe it. That's what you say....

I talk about racism with white folk all the time. But you fall into the category that doesn't understand racism or your privilege at all. Therefore proving we can't speak intelligently or truthfully about the subject. I've known this about you for some time so engaging you on this subject is a waste of my time.

 

[dviss1]

So, is the fight back on or not?

 

[tlongII]

So, is the fight back on or not?

The fight has never been off as far as I know.

 

[dviss1]

The fight has never been off as far as I know.

See, they bombard old people with fake news? My mother heard somewhere that it'd been cancelled because McGregor was using PEDs...

Then why didn't you stop when I said agree to disagree? you decided to make a smart ass comment. Just because we don't share the same opinions on this subject doesn't mean I know nothing about it. It means you only talk to people with the same view points as you and refuse to view other opinions and if others opinions don't line of with your beliefs, you just say they no nothing about it. Typical

That was your smart ass comment. What I said was true. Racism doesn't affect you. That's why you think things are equal between us.

Conor has been one of the more tested UFC fighters at times. Hasn't popped for anything yet. Gets pretty mad when people talk about steroids.

He has been accused by a couple of other fighters, but thats not unusual in the talking shit game.

I think he is clean until proven otherwise.

Lol if he got popped for PEDs it would lead news headlines, not be on a fake news article on Facebook for women over 50 to view.

Could replace Conor with "Lance", UFC fighters with "cyclists", and date this comment 10 years ago, and it would be completely accurate.

I wonder if the two of you would benefit (in terms of being able to communicate with one another) from reading this article.

http://everydayfeminism.com/2014/09/equality-is-not-enough/

I think it really does a nice job of helping illustrate the differences between equality and equity, also defined in relation to fairness and privilege. It's primarily about teaching/learning, but I think a lot of the concepts are applicable to the race discussion as well.

Sure, could replace it with a bunch of names.

Still, innocent until proven guilty. He hasn't tested positive so i'm not going to speculate he has done steroids.

My whole point is we see this happen with women and men now too. We have come SO far in terms of race and sex. The problem is when we start to reach that equality, the other side always goes "hey, that's not enough". It's become a power grab. Women and men are pretty damn equal these days, yeah both sides still have flaws in areas in terms of society and how each are treated but I can't name something a woman can't do that a man can these days in terms of society, etc. Now you see the power grab in that department. Modern day feminists which are the worst kind continue to complain and I am afraid no matter what they always will no matter how good it gets. Now I don't know about you but I think we have made so much progress in race too. To the point it has also become about control and power. We just had a black president for 8 years, there are a lot of black people in bigger positions of power and you can't argue that. I am not saying racism is completely gone but once again I can't name something a black person can do that a white person can't in society. I see a lot of black millionaires when I am watching basketball. A lot of rich black athletes who people love. I see white people attending rappers concerts, almost all white people yet people wanna scream that whites are racist and can't have an opinion on race. That in itself is racist. I just think no matter what dudes like dviss will continue to use it as an excuse. I think it's something that some black people do. If they don't succeed it's easy to blame the white man. It's easy to say that you are a victim. Notice now that's what other people say as an excuse for their short comings. excuses and reasons why they aren't where they are. Especially in Portland, this behavior is a problem. Plenty of black people didn't have excuses and reached their goal, became successful. Literally came from nothing in the worst environments. It's like people also forget there is something called middle America and it's filled with a bunch of poor white people. Go talk to them about white privilege when they are working some of the hardest jobs, multiple jobs. There are no damn hand outs in this life. You go and get what you wanna get no matter what race you are.

 

[Cippy91]

No matter what we aren't gonna agree on it, like I said people have different opinions, doesn't mean I dislike you dviss but don't sit and say that I can't have an opinion on it because of my skin color. That in itself is racist if you really wanna break it down.

 

[dviss1]

Take him at his word?

I didn't say you couldn't have an opinion on it. What I said was your opinion would not be an informed one...

 

[Cippy91]

I think it's informed but once again, your opinion that mine isn't informed is just that. An opinion

 

[dviss1]

When you say shit like there's equality in America, I'd say your opinion isn't informed and that you're seeing things through extremely rose colored glasses.

The stop and frisk data alone proves equality doesn't exist in this country.

I would say we are pretty damn close to equality. I never denied racism still exists in America. It does. However, to deny that we have made SO much progress would be ignorant. Obama just held the presidential position for 8 years. There are a lot of black people in positions of power. I just personally think no matter what, it will never be enough for certain black people who love to just constantly talk about the negatives and bring up slavery. How long are we gonna hold onto that? that's partially what helps keep racism alive

Ever been to NY? I have. Can you get a taxi there? I can't..... Equality my ass.

Again, the stop and frisk data speaks for itself.

In 2013, New Yorkers were stopped by the police 191,851 times.
169,252 were totally innocent (88 percent).
104,958 were black (56 percent).
55,191 were Latino (29 percent).
20,877 were white (11 percent).

If 88% of the people are innocent, why were only 11% of the searched white? The reason why they were stopped and had their 4th amendment rights violated is because they "looked suspicious".

What made the Blacks and Latinos more "suspicious"? Why were their areas of residence more heavily policed?

I know about the stop and frisk thing they did in new york. How do you figure you couldn't get a taxi just because you are black? new york is a super progressive city so I don't know, maybe you just thought that. The stop and frisk thing was racial profiling. That's for sure. Wasn't really my point out of everything though. I mean once again you are going back in time to 2013 when stop and frisk isn't a thing anymore and it's 2017

See, you don't have an informed opinion.

If white people know this, how come you don't?

Taxis simply don't stop for us when we hail them.

Even while being a "super progressive" city, they still shook down black people and violated their 4th amendment rights at an astronomical level.
2013 was just 4 years ago man... You're acting like it's ancient history... Here's the numbers since they stopped the policy:

• In 2014, New Yorkers were stopped by the police 45,787 times.
  37,744 were totally innocent (82 percent).
  24,319 were black (53 percent).
  12,489 were Latino (27 percent).
  5,467 were white (12 percent).
• In 2015, New Yorkers were stopped by the police 22,565 times.
  18,353 were totally innocent (80 percent).
  12,223 were black (54 percent).
  6,598 were Latino (29 percent).
  2,567 were white (11 percent).
• In 2016, New Yorkers were stoppped by the police 12,404 times.
  9,394 were totally innocent (76 percent).
  6,498 were black (52 percent).
  3,626 were Latino (29 percent).
  1,270 were white (10 percent).
• In the first quarter of 2017, New Yorkers were stoppped by the police 2,862 times.
  1,892 were totally innocent (66 percent).
  1,618 were black (57 percent).
  916 were Latino (32 percent).
  252 were white (9 percent).

Why are whites less apt to be stopped? Because their areas of residence aren't NEARLY as policed as ours.

This.

Is.

Not.

Equality.
