Yeah if that's true that's racist, but I seriously never heard that. I know he called Mayweather a weasel which apparently was somehow deemed racist by Mayweather. I think that's a fairly generic insult and I can think of worse things a woman abuser can be called but weasel is in that realm.

As for comparing it to the "some of my best friends" line....a lot of racists cheered Joe Frazier over Ali too.
