UFC chief Dana White shrugged off a reporter's questions regarding the "racial undertones" of a tense confrontation between Israel Adesanya and Dricus Du Plessis at UFC 290.
Following Dricus Du Plessis's victory over Robert Whittaker via TKO on Saturday night, White brought in Adesanya to the Octagon to have a faceoff between the two future opponents. Du Plessis, who is White, hails from South Africa while Adesanya is from Nigeria.
During the confrontation Adensanya repeatedly called Du Plessis the n-word and called him his "African brother."

A reporter asked White about the tense racial exchange during a press conference later that night but the MMA promoter appeared not to care.
"I know you say, Hey, this is the fight business. People say nasty things, right? But the tension between those two and kind of the racial undertones and all those things," a reporter said to White before the UFC chief interrupted, "what were the racial undertones?"
The reporter responds that Adesanya dropped "15 n-bombs" in the Octagon and White interjects, "Okay. He's Black. Who gives a shit?"
"I could care less. This is the fight business. Israel Adesanya can say whatever he wants to say. Who gives a shit? Why are people bitching about that," White adds. "Too fucking bad."

This jackass Dana White is a good friend of Trump's.

WTF are you even bitching about?
A black fighter calls a white fighter the "n-word" 15 times. So what? Last I heard blacks were allowed to use the "n-word" all they want to.
It is only offensive when whites use it (at least that is what leftists have told us repeatedly). Far as I can tell from the video I found online Dricus Du Plessi didn't utter it once in retaliation.
Should White have used his white privilege and power to shut Israel up?
White needs to give this mug to all those detractors.
For sale at Black Rifle Coffee for any interested.
I don't know anything about Dana White and have only seen a few UFC matches but after reading this seed I know that I agree with White on one thing:
I’ll start caring about the n word when black people stop using it and start calling out their fellow black people for using it all the fucking time. I was in a dispensary a couple weeks ago and they were blasting gangsta rap in the lobby full of all different ethnicities. Pathetic how many n words I heard in the course of five minutes.
You sure are showing plenty of it.
Tell us exactly what White or Plessi did that was prejudice or racist- outside of have the audacity of being white.
If you have a problem with what Israel did; then end the systematic entitlement that allows blacks to throw around the word with impunity.
If this is all about White supporting Trump; then you truly have missed the mark entirely in your outrage.
I had a kind of eye opening about this subject a few years ago when saw the movie 12 Years A Slave, which is a true story about a free black man who was abducted in Boston and take down south to be a slave in the 1840's.
The slave owners , and the slave buyers and sellers at the slave market, very casually refer to the slaves as "niggers''. "I have a fine looking nigger woman right here for your inspection. " The word nigger is used dozens of times in the movie. I had never really associated the use of the word with slavery, but it was.
So why do some blacks think they can use the word but whites can't? They call it reclaiming the word. I dont think its really up to white people to judge whether or not that is "fair".
Its not about Trump, I just threw that in there.
A South African white guy calling a black African "nigger" 15 times during a publicity event is cool with you? Good to know.
Do you have the fighters mixed up? Adesanya is Black while Du Plessis is the white South African.
I dont think I used any names. Maybe you meant that comment for Ronin.
You wrote "A South African white guy calling a black African "nigger" 15 times during a publicity event is cool with you?" But the South African didn't do that.
You didn't need to. You had the descriptives AND people mixed up.................
You are right. I finally made a mistake.
You forgot admit, You finally admitted you made a mistake, your comments are more often wrong than right.
The entire premise of this article blew up in the butthurt lefts face, An African American calls a South African his African brother and drops the N bomb 15 times and the left are outraged? I literally can't stop laughing, are you worthless fuckers going after hip-hop next? that won't alienate your base. Sweet baby Jesus pull you heads out of your asses.
