Floyd Mayweather rants after UFC 257: ‘Con artist’ Conor McGregor shows you racism still exists

Woe is me...
They sure don't like it when white guys act cocky and arrogant, that's the real double standard eh.
More interestingly in my opinion:
Look at all the "great white hope" comments on the comments section, is Conor the only white fighter to have realized success? No there are countless. Is Dustin not a "great white hope"? His tan disqualifies him?
Most white success causes a lot of salt because the world of color does not like whites and sees white men as
inherently weak, (which they reconcile at the same time with historical oppression).
Whites knocking out negroes and taking belts
which happens routinely causes a deep-seated insecurity to be inflamed. If a fighter is particularly hated they may even root for other whites fighters against him E.G. Dustin Vs. Conor.
Of course this doesn't mean
all nonwhites always root against whites, just most. The comments section is an insight into the psychology of this.
