Damn, I wanted to sign the petition but it's closed. This is worse than Mel Gibson's rant...

How would you make this situation better? She advocated for a genocide. The outburst was so outlandish that it doesn't even serve as a teachable moment.

mel's career isnt what it used to be. besides the Beaver( given to him by his friend Jodie Foster) and edge of darkness, he really hasnt done much since b4 the rants.

how can you even compare the two?
one guy says a something thats controversial but also somewhat true...lets face it him being asian does make the story bigger.
a chick goes on a twitter rant saying how the entire black race should be eradicated...ERADICATED
For you to even say what you just said makes me wonder about your own outlook and maturity level. Floyd didn't disrespect asians...he downplayed Jeremy Lin's ability to play basketball and him deserving praise. Wake up.

but thats the thing, he still has the ability star in/produce movies. why wasn't he blacklisted?
or was they like "he's braveheart tho" and let it go

I will just assume you didn't read my whole post, but its ok. There is no good to take away from this situation, the only thing that I can do as a person is continue to be positive, and also be aware that there is people in the World like Floyd and Hyun ...

Compare ... wrong = wrong .... comparison done, although I feel what Floyd said was infused with hatred/racism, I respect that you may not everyone has a different tolerism, but this isn't his first incident at making comments towards the Asian community.

Ah yes, so Jenny Hyuns response gets a pass, because after all, what Floyd said insinuated pure hatred/racism to the Asian community.. Dude, shut up.

First thing Floyd said was that Lin was a good player.

but he did say he didn't deserve all the praise...and the only reason he was getting it was because he was asian. Nothing really that horrible but it just sounded bad.

I'll preface what I'm going to say by mentioning that Floyd is an absolute FOOL. That being said, he's no dummy. Let's remember...this guy is a SHAMELESS self-promoter. Jeremy Lin is the biggest story in sports right now, and somehow Floyd Mayweather got his name on everyone's mind due to what he said. This guy is doing nothing but trying to drive up the purse for his fight vs. Pacquiao. Disparaging comments that further draw the ire of Asians is a well-calculated move on Floyd's part, IMO. Doesn't make what he said right, but I have to think that his goal was to piss off as many Asians as he can to gain more viewers (which fattens HIS pockets) for the uber-hyped, Mayweater/Pacquiao fight. If this fight goes down, more people (Asians) will be tuned in with the hopes that he gets his *+$ beat. Floyd has the cable rights, fight rights, etc for this bout w. Pacman....the more people tuned in, the better for him. He says stuff to promote himself. Whether he's right or wrong, people will be watching. He'll keep trolling in the months, weeks, days leading up to his fight and he'll keep ruffling feathers. This is what he wants.
Bottom line:

Did anyone look at the blog? She posted " I regret nothing" before having the mental break down and being "admitted"
. Mayweather was wrong and has a history with this but it felt like she was holding that one in for YEARS. The amount of anger and hate in those tweets are on a level I've personally never seen before.

yeah, what Floyd said was stupid, but it wasn't racist...like dude above me said, she's been holding onto that one for years...at least she know we got big !!%$+
real talk, she probably got played by some black dude and decided to take it out on the whole race...whatever
and yeah, not to stir nothing, but it's been know that older generation asians ain't to big on black people so it's no surprise that a few from our generation have carried on that baggage...
