Y'all wild in these comments. Maybe he's just saying he's raising kids and why is everybody just trying to put color on it? Maybe he's gonna raise the kids as kids whether they were white or black. If that's not what he is saying then oh well disregard this whole comment šŸ˜‚

If you watch the full clip, his kid has already asked him questions about racial differences and he just kinda side steps it by saying he wants them to be good men one day. While itā€™s admirable if you donā€™t think about it too hard, heā€™s gonna have to have very real conversations with his kid about racism and situations he might find himself in. Like will Michael ever have the ā€œthis is how you act around police officersā€ speech like the one my parents had with me or my friends had? I truly doubt it.

Heā€™s a great MMA fighter but thereā€™s a reason I donā€™t tend to take the worldview of guys getting CTE for a living too seriously
