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

The whole thing is this..was it necessary to mention race?...why did he have to do it??

 

Anyone up in arms over this comment a Tyson fan by any chance? Or how about Ali....you guys like Ali? Just a question....

(this question gets ignored 99.999999999999% of the time...lets see if someone has the balls to answer this time)

 

Simple. He doesn't want to lose to no white boy.

I don't know, probably to 'hype' it up. It's a cheap tactic, but does work to an extant. It gives the casual viewer the impression that there may be some animosity amongst the two.

 

about 90% kiss and hug after each fight, i wonder if these 2 will:think

 

Still no answers...

So, come on. Simple question, to the people who were offended by Hopkins comment...are ya Ali and Tyson fans?

Heres my thoughts. We are living in a country that is more and more so becoming PC. It makes me sick. It realy does. I have no idea why anyone would consider Hopkins remarks racist. Its the same **** everywhere. When that radio talkshow host called those black girls from that basketball team nappy headed hoes the same crap happened. Was it racist? Hardly. Was it entertainement? For some. Hopkins is promoting as the host was entertaining.

USA has become a touchy feely PC nation where its never christmas and allways Xmas and the jews complain about santa in schools and the gays complain they can't get married and the blacks complain they can't get good jobs and the whites complain the blacks took all their jobs and the puertoricans don't wanna pay taxes and the Congress who holds hearings on steroids in baseball.

The only peopple not complaining are the mexicans. They work their asses off , make a honest living and we have rednecks who hunt them with dogs down in texas.

Meanwhile the real issues go right under the radar because we are so ****ing occupied with what Hopkins said and all the other bull****. The dollar becoming more and more worthless everyday, the war for oil in iraq is going great for the oil companies but poorly for our kids, taxpayer supported wallstreet, brokerage firms being bailed out by the governement while noone bails out Joe who lost his house, a president who has the vocabulary of a half ****** , the intelligence of a egg and the temperment of a 5 yearold, and a governement who puppeteers him who's priority #1 is not you and me, but EXXON and Mobile and Phillip Morris to name a few.


Do I think Hopkins remarks were racist? No. Do I think the attention those remarks detract from real issues? You bet.:fire

 

Or that maybe he is promoting the fight.

 

theres no way that they'll answer. They're gonna ignore the question.

 

Im not offended by it because Hopkins about to get a beat down from a white boy this saturday and Calzaghe will get arrested afterwards for committing a hate crime.

Its a win win situation for me.

 

good rant. puts things in perspective!

 

PM and I'll give you links on another cover up job by white british esb members on here Steven Lawrence:deal

 

Of course she does. I know far more festival people who like Minogue than festival people who like Jay Z. In fact, all of the people I know who turn up to these things actively hate hip-hop.

As for the article, I wouldn't believe anything I read in the Gaurdian (or bother to read it if avoidable, given the quality of the prose) but if you look at the article the writer gives his own suggestion of the causes-

- based on that, I would assume that the writer is saying that Gallagher is making a facile point by blaming the festival ticket shortfall on Jay Z. I honestly haven't followed the story as its unfolded, but aside from a rather lame use of the BNP to tarnish Gallagher (I didn't know that Gaurdian writers browsed far-right message boards) there seemed to be nothing race related in the entire thing.

I'm not convinced that Gallagher was taking a racist attitude, although admittedly I haven't read what the tit said. The Oasis members are well know for being dismissive of all other genres; no-one would suggest that they are anti-alien for calling Manowar a crappy metal band, would they?

K2ray, you are one of the most racially-obsessed people I have ever met in Europe.

 

Didn't the Congolese crowd despise George Foreman, who was a black American boxer?

African is not a race. :twisted:
