    SP is clearly a modern far leftist. Therefore, anyone (any white person, really) from any era who didn’t live by today’s standard of political correctness was a nazi. Any good deed from their lives is undone by their original sin of being born white.

    1890s, yes. 1990s, probably not! But I enjoy watching Sharkey's fights regardless.

    How exactly is it a "far right conspiracy" when the evidence is all around. Ever hear of "critical theory", that thing being taught in universities and corporations that a lot of time is mandatory for its employees about how westerners and Western civilization is evil?

    It's only "fake" because you don't want it to be true.

    Sike I really don't think that. He would lose to Tyson (at the very least, 90-91& 95-96 Tyson), Bowe, Lewis and any HW version of Holyfield but the very ancient versions like the Holyfield of 2006. And even excluding those 4, he'd have an uphill battle with the likes of Moorer, Tua, Bruno, Morrison, Mercer, old Foreman etc.

    Uhhh, I attended University and sat in on classes in several of them and Ive never once been taught or seen it being taught that Western Civilization is evil. Thats stupidity from ignorant people who lack education and want others to be as ignorant as they are in order to level the playing field. Nothing more than a symptom of the dumbing down of society by the far right. Ever wonder why the right wants to defund education and hates universities? Its because an uneducated populace is a docile populace when they dont know they are being taken advantage of. Its why slaves were forbidden from learning to read or write. Congratulations for being a cog in the wheel of ignorance that is propagated by the right in order to keep under their thumb. But hey, go on defending moronic right wingers who would rather teach fairy tales in their christian madrasas like we are living in the 7th century. What a waste of oxygen you people are.

    I like how you resort to insults like what leftists tend to do when disagreed with. And calling someone "racist" is meaningless. It used to mean judging some one negatively or mistreating or hating someone because of their race. Literally no one does that. Everyone thinks that's a bad idea. Now it means everyone who disagrees even slightly with the left or anyone who won't "take a knee" to BLM.

    And as was mentioned before, there is a huge double standard in who can say and do what. Let's take slavery for instance. It seems that slavery is only wrong when it can be used as a tool to bash whites over the head and tell them how wicked and evil they are. Despite the fact that everyone in the ancient world, up until about the last 150 years participated in slavery. And it was only the West that stopped to say "wait a minute, this might be wrong" because sure as hell no African, Asian or Middle Eastern nations did. In fact, you can go to the near and Middle East today and purchase a live, in living color slave. I can go to Libya with $400 USD and return with a slave. Except the so called racist west frowns upon slavery, so once it became known i was holding a slave, he would be immediately liberated and I would go to jail.

    But no one cares that African and Arab Muslims enslaved others or that the Arabs captured and sold millions of Africans for centuries longer than the Western slave trade and are still doing it. Ever wonder why the Middle East doesn't have a huge black population like the USA or Caribbean or South America? It's because the Arabs would castrate the male African slaves and kill the babies of the African female slave, even if the baby was half Arab. But this hardly gets any mention at all.

    What about the millions of European Christian slaves that were enslaved by Arab, African and Turkish Muslims. European teenage girls from Christian villages that had bern raided by Muslims were prized by Islamic slave traders for their beauty and were routinely kidnapped and sold into harems of wealthy Muslims.

    The Eastern European Slavic people got that name because they were sold into slavery so much, they were regarded as a slave race.

    And the Europeans who got slaves and brought them to North and South America and the Islands got them from Africans. They were enslaved by other Africans and then sold to European slave traders.

    So why then, is all other slavery all but forgotten today (even modern day slavery in North Africa and the Middle East perpetrated by Arab Muslims) but Antebellum slavery that ended in 1865, keep getting drug back up to perpetuate outrage? When I graduated high school, I thought that Antebellum slavery was the only slavery that ever existed because that was all that was taught in school.

    Also, if you never heard of critical theory, there are whole academic departments in colleges and universities dedicated to it. Do you think the average person in the streets comes up with institutional this and systemic that and patriarchy and all that jazz? It comes out of universities.

    Coming from someone who has never attended university (obviously) and gets their history from Fox News talking points this is pretty hilarious stuff and very telling about where your head is at. People in this country dont let moronic rednecks forget slavery in this country because this country never adequately dealt with the legacy of its slavery and/or racism and instead allowed it become institutionalized. Thats why its the problem that wont go away. We dont talk about African countries and/or Moors, or Romans, or Viking slavery because we dont deal with the issues of racism in Scandinavia, North Africa, or Ancient Rome. We deal with those issues here. So as long as you want to bury your head in the sand and pretend there is no problem rather than demand parity for people of color you will continue to be smacked in the face with the issue. Now, if you actually live in Libya and are posting on this forum from Libya then by all means complain about the issue of slavery and racism in Libya and do everything you can to make that issue better in your home country. But if, as I suspect, you are an American and a poorly educated white conservative American at that then I suggest you stop trying to migrate the discussion to an area that you think qualifies your racism. It doesnt. Your examples have very little to do with the issues here beyond your sad attempt to say "Look, everybody is guilty so stop talking about it and lets just pretend its ok." Now, if youd like to lie to me and everyone else here why dont you tell me which university you attended, what degree you attained there, and what specific courses and professors taught you that Western civilization was evil. Ill be waiting here but we both know you dont have an answer for any of those questions. So yes, as a result, I will still relegate asinine notions like cultural marxism to the dustbin of tinfoil hatted right wing conspiracy theories used as an excuse to defund education and keep their sheeple supporters focused on the "other" while they pick your pocket. Good luck with that.
