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

    It was a racist comment, maybe Hopkins didn't mean it in that way and just said it to promote the fight(remember what happened with Trinidad?, it's far worse and we all remember it because that's what Hopkins aims for). It might be too much but it's still trying to promote even in a sick way and if it was a bad move then you wouldn't be discussing it right now with everyone else posting in this thread.

    I don't, but I have seen a lot of your posts on ESB. The thing is, you actually come across as a perfectly decent person otherwise.

    Hell no! The Gaurdian may be left-wing semi-moronic trash, but the Sun is right-wing fully-moronic trash. I'd take the former over the latter any day.

    I can hardly see how one can racially stereotype a group with a colonialist stereotype unless that group is seen to be a racial group. If that's not what you meant, then fine.

    I personally wouldn't listen to either, but then again I'm hardly representative of festival-types. I'd much rather listen to a night of live Mussorgsky pieces.

    If it were Eminem or Captain Sensible they would take the same attitude. It's the genre, not the race. Although, if Captain Sensible really DID headline a festival, I suspect they would go for the hell of it.

    Dear Rumsfeld
    kind regards
    I agree with your post.
    Too many people are hypersensitive sissies these days.
    However, I believe that Calazaghe should've retaliated and should've said that he would not lose to a black boy.
    It would've made this fight much more interesting.
    yours thankfully

    That actually would have been great if Calzaghe did that!

    They could have gotten into an old fashioned Buggs Bunny exchange for the ages!
