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

    Of course-my personal likes and dislikes dictates Britains cultural obsessions and preferences.If one day i decide,say, belly dancing should become a national past time,it will happen.I have such Godlike power.
    Rap,basketball?Ok you got me;i control all British minds and can make them or break them in a second,but prefer to keep them in the background,just to annoy you.

    (thank God for that)
    God knows why you were trying to pick a fight with me.Racism is evil and wrong and i feel shame any Englander is guilty of it.We agree on this,so it was all unnecessary really,wasnt it?Our aimless discussion.

    Sometimes irony can be pretty ironic.

    That would be ironic to the second power. So would that not be ironic?

    Saying you will not lose to someone because they are of a certain race is pretty much as racist as you can get, because it suggests that this specific race is somehow inferior to yours. So yeah, of course this was a racist comment. Do I care? Nope, I´m white but I really couldn´t care less and it doesn´t offend me the least. I just think Hopkins wants to rile people up. Even if he meant it I wouldn´t be offended, cause then the comment would just say something about him and nothing more.

    Comments are made to sell fights.

    :patsch Hopkins did not say he would win BECAUSE Calzaghe is white...he just said he won't lose to him. There's a HUGE difference there.

    Am I one of the ONLY people here with reading comprehension or something?

    Hmm, I was under the apparently false impression that Britain is far less racist then the US. That Jaz Z article was interesting too. Props.
