Are the people who claim Hopkins made racist comments actually racist themselves?

That's what it comes down to.:good

 

Well, if Calzaghe had called Hopkins a "black boy" that would have been a pretty big deal. So yes, I think Mary Hopkins made a racist remark.

 

It implied that white fighters could never dream of reaching the level to beat him, which carries racist undertones. I don't think he is clever enough to have meant that, he's just a gobshite

I don't really give a ****, but it hardly sets a great example. But if you don't mind that, I'm sure you guys won't mind us booing your anthem in future

 

Everything now days is about politicaly correctness. so I can see how some sensitive ****s out there would precive the statement as racist. now would they still feel the same way if Hopkins loses and says" Damn, that was one tough white boy!" would that be racist, or viewed as endearing?

 

My first reaction was to laugh and smile when I heard Hopkins' words. If someone said 'hey,white boy' on the street to you, you wouldn't be that bothered, would you?

hopkins "TAKE THAT U punk ass white boy!!"

 

It's a way to build to the fight. Don King and the people who represented Gerry Cooney did it constantly.

Although I wonder if Hopkins would let a Smurf beat him.

ive always disapproved and been critical of things like Nazism,KKK,the BNP party etc,so using your deep profound method of exposing bigotry through reverse psychology;
YES,im a huge,huge racist, on a horse with white robes on torching villages as we speak.:nut :roll:

 

Right, because to judge a statement as racist you need to be one yourself. Now if you mean the people who retaliate with derogatory statements of their own then we agree.
