George Floyd: I Suffered Racism In 2020 -tyson Fury by XXLMANDIGO: 8:38am On Jun 10, 2020
World heavyweight champion, Tyson Fury, has said that he suffered racism in 2020.


According to the British boxer, he and his wife, Paris Fury, were turned away from a restaurant in the United Kingdom due to his Traveller heritage.

Fury said this while reacting to the racial justice protests taking place around the world following the killing of 46-year-old black American, George Floyd by a US policeman.

The 31-year-old told GMB on Wednesday: “I think it is a terrible thing that’s happened with the guy [George Floyd] who has been choked – unacceptable behaviour from any colour or race of people.


“A lot of riots have been going on in America, and I think they are trying to make a point and let people know it is unacceptable.

“Blackout should not just be a one-day thing, and you should not just post it then forget about it for the other 364 days in a year.

“Because I am a white male and I suffered racism in 2020 as a white person, coming from a Travelling background.


“Even today you can go into pubs, and you can see signs saying, ‘No Travellers or gypsies allowed’.”

He added: “Paris and I went to go to a restaurant and they said no gypsies allowed.

“I said, ‘I am a heavyweight champion of the world representing this country [United Kingdom]’

Fury doesn't know what racism is.....
Re: George Floyd: I Suffered Racism In 2020 -tyson Fury by XXLMANDIGO: 9:04am On Jun 10, 2020
Then what is it? The Gyspies and Irish Travellers face more discrimination in history than the blacks.

I pity the Gypsies, they are hated so much in Europe and they are not helping theirselves, very lazy, dirty and prefer to beg rather than to work and earn income. Other Europeans prefer Africans that Gypsies.

That's racism. Some people believed when its done to blacks thats when its racism. In the past, china once suffer racism in the hands of Americans. Racism is not about blacks only.
