<p>Now chile, I don&#8217;t know about you, but this &#8220;publicity&#8221; for the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight on August 26th is getting a little out of hand especially now that race is involved. A comment Conor McGregor made regarding how something else on his body is packing, rather than his punches, has only thrust him into the spotlight even more.</p>
<p>According to Independent Co, McGregor is in hot water after claiming in a recent press conference that he can&#8217;t be racist because he&#8217;s “half-black from the belly button down.” This comment only adds more fuel to the fire, because this isn&#8217;t the first time McGregor has made outlandish, racial comments this week!</p>
<p>Both McGregor and Floyd Mayweather began their press tours in Los Angeles where McGregor turned things up a notch by saying “dance for me boy!” which has long been regarded as a racial slur used by racist white people. He then repeated the comment again on another stop of the press tour.</p>
<p>McGregor attempted to address those comments recently at a press conference at the Barclays Center where he said to the crowd “All of the media seem to be saying that I am against black people,” he said.<br />
“And just to show them that it is squashed, here is a present for my beautiful, black female fans.” He then appeared to thrust back and forth on stage.</p>
<p>The crowd had mixed reaction to his comments, while some cheering loudly, others responding with some boos.</p>
<p>#Roomates, do you think McGregor is going a little too far?</p>
