    you've got to be kidding me. please tell me why the hell would 8% of black voters and 29% of hispanic voters vote for a racist? you really think nbc and other media companies would hire and pay millions to racists? give me a facking break bro and quit changing history.

    floyd said it best when he said nobody was calling trump a racist until after he won. floyd can be an idiot sometimes but he's straight spitting fire and truth in this video. you and pop should watch this video!

    And that's why Floyd Mayweather is a boxer who probably has dozens of concussions and not a political analyists. I find it pretty hilarious you consider the opinion of Floyd, no education, Mayweather to be more credible than Pop a US Naval academy graduate.

    You are either incredibly naive or playing a shtick. No way you actually believe that no one called Trump a racist before he won. People called him a racist back in the 80s bro .

    @Deckard @fchowd0311

    you have a brown person telling you all what pop said is bullshit but you don't care about what i'm saying because in your mind pop is right. you all never listen. again, a brown person who can vote and there are many like me, is telling you i got a problem with it and there is a better way imo but you 'aint got time for it. you just want to tell me how i'm wrong and pop is right. but yet you and the others sit here and whine and moan every single ******* day about trump winning and you losing. do you want to be "right" or do you want to win you stupid m'fers?!?! i swear even someone like me who is you could describe as very far left socially liberal, you guys go out of your way to ignore me and piss me off. you guys are so hard headed and don't listen just like pop and then have the nerve to get mad at people like me not voting or voting republican. always blaming others instead of listening. the left could dominate elections if they would just facking listen but alas, you guys can't get out of your own way.

    so mods, lock this thread up. this brown, spanish speaking, mexican american, potential voter, is wrong and pop is right. be beware, i don't vote for people/parties that ignore me and there are millions of people who share that sentiment.

    I guess NBC does give hit shows to racists. Good to know! and I hope you go after NBC the same way you go after an anonymous internet poster.

    I mean they sometimes do? They sometimes overlook things. Maybe they didn't care that he had to settle housing discrimination lawsuits. If that is your defense, it's pretty weak .

    So why do you value the opinion of a boxer who never had any formal higher education and has multiple concussions and is made fun of for being illiterate(he can't even read the settlement cases lol)...rather than a former US Naval officer who graduated from the US Naval academy, one of the most academically difficult schools to enter?

    What the #$&%??? You actually think NBC would give a show to a racist and pay them millions? GTFO!!, you're trolling dude!!!

    This is NBC who just fired their Olympic broadcaster for accidentally offended Koreans with single sentence honest mistake. NBC who fire NBC GIANT, Matt Lauer. I could go on and on with the folks they've fired or condemn for must less things than racism.

    I hope you hate NBC as much as you hate Trump because they give millions to racist in your opinion.

    Dude......... the margin for black voters was 88% for Clinton and 8% for Trump. That is an enormous discrepancy.
    Also there were a number of Jews that supported Hitler, indeed there were several Jewish political groups that threw their support to Hitler.

    Is Trump Hitler? No....... but the idea that an oppressed group has some members that vote for those that oppress them isn't all that shocking.

    Look at women, Donald Trump clearly has serious issues with how he treats women and he still got got 41% of women to vote for him.

    again, here you now have two minorities, from very different backgrounds and income levels, telling you "pop is wrong" but you don't have time for that. that's fine but don't b**** about losing because it's your own damn fault.

    back to floyd, i value his opinion over pop because i agree with him. i think that point is obvious. it doesn't matter if floyd is wrong or if i'm wrong or if pop is right or wrong. point his you won't even consider that the two minorities who are telling you "pop is wrong" which is facking ridiculous. like i said, keep discrediting or disregarding minorities like floyd and i and see how that works out for you. i swear, hard headed, stubborn, liberals, like you all and pop have a gift when it comes to driving away other folks who support "liberal" ideas. well done.

    Not sure how I feel about NBC or Pop until I consult with Floyd Mayweather.

    thanks for supporting and strengthening my point which is why saying the "entire" of anything regarding race/discrimination is outrageous.

    Oh man you can point to two minorites? Amazing that must dismiss all his years of racist tendencies.

    Can I apply your logic and point to 40 million minorites who think Trump has racist tendencies?

    I love how getting 8% of black voters (and losing that demographic by 80%) proves that he's not a racist in your mind. And Matt Lauer was employed by NBC for years with it being well known within the company what he was up to but them finally firing him somehow proves your point that NBC doesn't employ bad people? WTF are you even talking about?

    NBC also employed Matt Lauer, knowing of the complaints for years. NBC also was silent on the Shaun White.

    The idea that NBC wouldn't hire or employee a racist is absurd. They only stop and fire someone when it becomes a problem.

    You are really up in arms that Pop didn't use more precise language in a post game basketball interview.

    If only you you this up in arms when someone with signficantly more clout doesn't use precise language...

    Your irrational prioritization of outrage is what I find the most amusing about you .

    That actually sounds pretty damn racist and discriminatory. As if a self made black millionaire is incapable of having an opinion he believes is correct. Talk about undermining and discrediting. Thanks again for proving my point. Liberals are their worst enemy and it's sad you guys don't realize it.

    Not sure if I am a liberal, but I shall consult with Floyd Mayweather. Which side is the one that whines and cries about everything? Snowflakes or something or the other?

    yea no **** dumbass. forgive me for wanting basketball interview to be about basketball. also I've already said the question about celebrating black history month and a great opportunity to talk about the amazing progress and heroes who deserve the spotlight and instead this self hating white old man took the question as an opportunity to **** on his country.

    I won't do something so selfish and stupid like pop did. Instead I focus and tell my kids about the progress and the amazing people like Chuck Cooper, Earl Lloyd, Sweetwater Clifton, Bill Russell, and Jackie Robinson, etc... for using sports to do more for this country than pop could ever dream about. Of course I don't have the platform like Pop has which makes it an even bigger missed opportunity.
