Conor McGregor disrespects black women by objectifying them

[JahFocus CS]

Potato nikka was just pulling some fukkery... sure that's some racist shyt... he doing it for the pub, he as racist as any other human being . Back in the day when Irish was immigrants, they was standing side by side with free blacks while the Anglos were implementing racist policies..... To me, Irish are honorary brothers... only CACs I'm somewhat OK with..

To start, you need to read the book How the Irish Became White. This is very misguided and ahistorical thinking given their embrace of whiteness and anti-Black racism.

 

[Yehuda]

"In 1834 a mostly Irish mob in Philadelphia rampaged through the black district. By the time they subsided, two black people were killed and many beaten. Two churches and upwards of 20 homes were laid waste, their contents looted or destroyed. A committee appointed to investigate the riot identified as a principal cause the belief that some employers were hiring black workers over whites."

"During the strike of 1852 and again in 1855, 1862 and 1863, Irish longshoremen battled black workers who had been brought in to take their places. The underlying cause of the New York Riot of 1863, misnamed the Draft Riot, was the employment of black workers on the docks. According to one historian, in Philadelphia, as in New York, "Irish gangs not only drove blacks out of jobs, they also served as surrogate unions." There, the race riot of 1849 and the longshore strike of 1851 were simply different tactical phases of the same struggle."

"In August 1862, a largely Irish mob in Brooklyn attacked the black employees, chiefly women and children, who were working in a tobacco factory. The mob, having driven the black employees to the upper stories of the building, then set fire to the first floor. The factory was allowed to reopen only when the employer promised to dismiss the Negroes and hire Irish."

"Irish attitudes toward the free Negro in the North led them to oppose abolition. In 1838 an Irish mob burned just-completed Pennsylvania Hall, built by subscription to serve as a center for abolitionist meetings. It was not that the Irish supported slavery: They would have been happy to see slavery abolished, provided all the black folk could have been kept on the plantations or shipped out of the country altogether. Since such an outcome could not be guaranteed, throughout the 19th century they were solid supporters of the Democratic Party, which before the Civil War protected slavery in the South and after the War sought to restrict the rights of the freed people."

But the movie Gangs Of New York told me different.

hope this cac slips on his sweat and breaks his trachea in the ring

 

[Claudex]

He's accomplishing exactly what the promotion wants.

Don't feed into it

Exactly. The real funny thing is that the best thing to actually do is to NOT [PAY TO] WATCH this fight. But instead a shytload of folks will pay just to watch:

1. Floyd bring justice upon the evil cac who coincidentally will make even more money.
2. McGregor finally step on the uppity black man's neck. Finally.

This would be the best possible time to teach the world of boxing (which is run by cacs) that they're not keeping up with the times. Except...who the fukk am I kidding, times haven't changed. So it's the exact opposite; they'll teach us how it's still possible to make millions with racism.

But the movie Gangs Of New York told me different.

Crazy thing is if memory serves me well as I haven't watched that movie in years, but they ended up hanging the sole Black man in the film on a pole.

 

[TrebleMan]

As somebody said, they're like Trump supporters.

Sheer numbers and population turnout won't stop their guy from getting destroyed by the better fighter though.

Yep that's the vibe I'm getting really you can't take anything either of them are saying seriously until after the fight imo.

 

[MikelArteta]

All publicity is good publicity for boxing

This trash talking spectacle is going around the world and has like 15-20,000 ppl attending

. To me, Irish are honorary brothers.

What in the entire fukk?

 

[Smashius Clay]

Promoters (including Floyd) is making this a racial thing because they damn sure can't spin this as a legitimate fight.

Both of them agreed to this and are laughing all the way to the bank.

EDIT: I cannot believe some of you believe Hollywood movies are historically accurate -- especially when it comes to black people.

The same Hollywood that got white Pharaohs and Prince's of Persia
