“To accuse a Caucasian of racism, the conventional wisdom is that they must be yelling the n-word while spitting in the face of a newborn black baby as they are basking in the glow of a flaming cross they planted on your lawn after you have proven that they don’t have a black friend, niece, nephew or co-worker.…

It’s comments like these that make me wish Kinja had a star-plus feature

I was honestly thinking the same thing. He could have had Floyd-like all-time undefeated greatness, minus the Trinidad bout, if the establishment didn’t clearly want the other guy to win on three separate occasions.
