Right here. Grits and sugar all day. I am not a fan of savory. I also put sugar in my cornbread. So there!

Not Desiree Rogers! She was a shero. I agree with Brass Tacks. Interested in reading more about the struggle.

Why? Because I have an android and I want to kill myself. Help me feel better and tell me what’s good about my phone.

Used to be. It felt sooo bad. So I bought three chargers. One for home, one for work, and one for when I lose one or both of those.

Haha!

From what I can tell, this conversation is U.S. specific. And in America, anti-black racism is the fulcrum of white supremacy. So the concept of “the other” is rooted in the concept of “the nigger.” This is why the phrase “sand nigger” exists.

“What white people have to do is try to find out in their own hearts why it was necessary to have a nigger in the first place, because I’m not a nigger. I’m a man. But if you think I’m a nigger, it means you need it.” I was just talking about this on my Facebook page, in regards to the Dreamers. James Baldwin gave…

Hope and faith keep us alive.

Cold as ice, I Like Clam Sauce!

I agree. I love to watch the mastery of a great athlete, but Mayweather’s abusiveness overshadows his skills. He may change. I know a couple of men who no longer abuse women. Though, even in both of those cases, I wonder if they stopped because they are old and no longer have the strength and stamina. Admittedly, I’m…

Haha! IDK. Assuming you’re not a recreational, amateur, or professional boxer, I think Mayweather could have probably just knocked you out with ease. I’ve taken a punch from a non-boxer and that shit hurts immediately. The only reason to not knock you out would be to give a little bit of a show.

Yeah — Conor came out swinging and got in a few hits. Mayweather was unfazed. He barely broke a sweat.

Interesting. What if Mayweather was in his prime?

You’re right that I don’t watch a lot of boxing though. I prefer UFC/MMA fights. (You can literally pick your opponent up and drop him back on the ground. It’s great! I’m such a horrible human being.) But you don’t need to be a boxing fan to see such an obvious strategy. Especially since Ali was famous for it. (Wasn’t…

Uhhh... I’m stuck in my house/neighborhood. But my house is dry, so I’m happy. I just can’t wait for it to all be over so I can breathe!

Yes! In the last two rounds, if I remember correctly, Conor was taking a break every few seconds. And Mayweather would just give him a moment to nap on on his shoulder! I think he *definitely* could have taken him out earlier.

Thanks, Chico. I feel validated. Yeah — I definitely saw the strategy. It was just common sense. McGregor is a UFC fighter. No amount of training was going to give him the endurance to match Mayweather. But it also occurred to me that Mayweather was holding back. I mean, how long did it take for Connor McGregor to…

I got the strategy. Like Chico said, Muhammad Ali used it a lot. And Mayweather actually *said* he was using that strategy in his post-fight interview. I just wonder if he went soft on him overall. McGregor had a heavy decline after round 3, but he lasted until round 10. I wonder if that’s because McGregor jut had the…

In my gut, I don’t feel this was primarily about white mediocrity. McGregor is good in his lane. He’s a UFC champion. And he’s charismatic. People love him and love to hate him. But that’s as strong as my argument is going to get. I’m not going to put the full weight of my intellectual power towards finding the…

And the fact that he held his own for any amount of time is kind of a mark against Mayweather... That said, I know they both wanted to “give the fans a show.” Does anyone else think that Mayweather went soft on him for the first few rounds? Am I being crazy like Fox News?
