						@Ron Swanson is correct. Using "dancing monkeys" is an unveiled insult to May weather. You can't call a black person that word without blacklisting yourself forever. That is crossing the line. Yea he has free speech which I will not want to take away from him, but he has gone too far and now will get ****SLICED UP LIKE VIRGINIA HAM**** as all who have gone too far.
That's It! I demand that @denilson200 is reinstated to the forum in rapid quick time so that we can get his Educated , unbiased, expert opinion of whether it was racist or not !

						With his "Dance for me, boy" comment, I'd cut him some slack. I've always thought the use of the word "boy" is prone to hypersensitive reactions from blacks. "Boy" can be used as opposed to "man", where you're trying to demean you're opponent. Have the recipient be white, and it'd be no issue at all. That's a tough one to call.
But when given the opportunity to clear the air, McGregor goes a bit further and calls himself black from the waist down. That was a bit more unfortunate, and probably lends more credence to the "racist" accusations.

						I get what you are saying but you had segregation until 1964. Over here we never had segregation. Some establishments though had signs saying
NO IRISH
NO BLACKS
NO DOGS
so I think the monkey thing is just people barking up the wrong tree .( I probably could have worded that better ) but I think the reality is pair of them are probably dicks and Mayweather is probably more racist than the Paddy.

						Come on man, if it isn't racism then why does it keep being used? You see the monkey thing at soccer matches, you see it on Russian candy that was made to insult Obama, you see it from racist after racist. Always intended as an insult. Always at black people. Nobody is unaware what they are saying when they say it.
Floyd is a giant POS, I have no doubt he's a racist. And he called McGregor a faggot today, I'm in no way defending Floyd.
I'm saying it's about time people stop denegrating others. And if they do they should be called on it.
I actually think Conor is a funny guy, although the press conferences got worse and worse after Toronto. But there is no place in civilized society for dancing monkeys comments. Insulting a person is very different from saying something an entire population is offended by. And offended by for good reason. We don't need to search for historical content. Watch Germany play Nigeria in a friendly, you'll see fans with bananas. It is quite deliberate. The "I didn't know" defence doesn't fly. Just because it's accepted to call black people monkeys in Russia or Taiwan or China or wherever doesn't make it right.
I think a simple rule of thumb is if the KKK say it, don't say it.

I am not a soccer fan and never was and find the sport rather boring so I would not know about that. Do people actually literally bring bananas to the stadium when for example Nigeria is playing? That is Despicable I cannot believe that that still goes on in 2017
