Ryan Garcia makes polarizing statement about racism, says "black people" have been "racist" towards him
Boxing star Ryan Garcia has ignited controversy with a recent social media post regarding racism.
The boxer has exhibited concerning behavior online in recent months. This included a confusing post about his divorce following the birth of his child and another referencing his own death, which he later clarified. The boxer's social media activity raises concerns despite reassurances from his promoter, Oscar De La Hoya, that Gracia is mentally healthy and training well.
Garcia's latest social media post involves a post condemning racism but quickly takes a controversial turn:
"It's time we realize racism is racism. If you think you have some sort of pass bc you are a minority it's time to realize there is no expectations. I love black people but some of black people have been racist towards black people even though we the same race and blood. I'm about justice, nothing else. What is right what is wrong. They want blacks and Mexicans to fight. While they laugh making money WAKE UP BLACK AND BROWN. We the same people they want to destroy ys it's sad. Blacks and Mexicans unite it's time."
