A comment boxing star Ryan Garcia made on social media about racism has stirred some controversy for the up-and-coming fighter.

On Monday, Garcia posted on X, formerly known as Twitter:

“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 us it’s sad. Blacks and Mexicans unite it’s time.”
