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

    If the roles were reversed JC would be percieved as a racist and we would be hearing from Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton but when Hopkins said what he said i just laughed.I just thought it was funny, i'm not sure how he said it but i guessed he was stirring up **** to promote the fight.
    People in general are way to sensitive(mostly women like you said:lol: ) especially when it comes to racial issues.Just look at what that dumb white broad said about lynching Tiger Woods.He didn't give a dam but the poor cow got suspended from her job

    You know, had he just changed one word "boy" to "man" nobody would be talking about this. I remember Lennox saying before the fight with Vitali that he didn't want to lose to a "white fighter". At least Lennox respected Vitali and his race enough to address him properly in a way that wasn't racist. He just called Vitali exactly what he is, a white fighter. But Mary decided to use "boy" instead of "man" or "fighter" and now we have this thread.

    Its pretty much socially acceptable for black fighters to insult white ones.
    This thread proves that.
    You think Rumsey would have started this thread to defend Joe if he called Hops a black boy?I think not.
    Then again,my opinion cant be trusted, as i can see how Hops words could be construed as offensive and racist,thus making me,according to Sigmund Rumsey,racist myself.

    As stupid as I think the statement that was made by Hopkins, I don't think he's any more racist than your average, black jailbird from Philly.
