He's also guilty of domestic violence. Hideous.

Back to the racism element, it's HORRIBLE.
A friend (Hispanic) relayed a story to me that her son told her and it was that at his job (Cintas Corporation) a white co-worker on Friday said that he hopes McGregor does to Mayweather what that guy in the car did to that "Fat dead trouble-maker in Virginia." Everyone heard it, and there was a bit of jaw-jacking between a few of the workers (I could bet, the murderer IS a Nazi), but luckily cooler heads prevailed. My friend said her son told her that this fight and talking about it made for a very tense workplace leading up to this fight tonight, and was very much split along racial lines: Minorities wanting Mayweather, whites wanting McGregor. He says that things have gotten worse with the rise of tRump. Yeah, no kidding. My friend said she's going to have a long talk with her son about finding another place to work since things are getting more tense along racial lines. NO ONE should have to put up with that racist bull shit.
Even in good old California, a deep blue state, racial hostilities and tensions are on the edge.
Thanks tRump.
