I think you will find you are the disingenuous poster and an old rambling idiot so lets break it down. I have not mentioned race today you senial old fart, I said Dempsey faced sub par opposition and comented in the flaws in his technique, wake up old man You have accused a poster of being racist. Why? For bringing up the racist color line Dempsey embrased and accused him of 'reverse racism' for questioning a racist practise. You're the one crying racism, if you can't handle Now your blabbering on about 'why should the white race bear responsibility of the past'. No one's talking about the 'white race' you senial old ****, we are referring specifically to Dempsey and the color line, learn to follow a conversation or shut up
RSN why are you putting words in Duraniums mouth and claiming racism when the obvious racist is yourself. The fact you want to completely ignore the color line and paint it as insignificant proves that. Does the truth hurt you that Dempsey was a beneficiary of the color line and careful match making who never fought the best of his time until he faced Tunney, where he ultimately failed. Truth Hurts doesn't it?
And you were the guy judging me and my posts ,saying they were pure bile? Your personal abuse of a fine poster here, who happens to politely disagree with you is , taking things down to bottom feeding level. If you are going to repeatedly use the word senile when arguing with posters, over 50 ,at least learn to spell the word.Senial rhymes with genial, which you decideedly are not. Why not post some more Swastikas ?
Follow the thread and tell me if Burt's insults, claims and ramblings are justified. They're not, being old and having seen a few old fights doesn't get you a pass on insulting other posters because you don't like what they have to say
Those who endorse and post swastikas as power puncher does would likely not view him tolerance either. Ironic.
Ignore this waste of skin Burt - he's know's when he's beat PS Powderpuff you mention about me putting words in Duranium's mouth - if you go back and read his posts - he was the one to bring up how blacks have dominated the history of the sport??? So again don't really know what you're talking about there (clearly he has the issue otherwise the subject of black & white would never have come up - again he was the one to raise the race thing so clearly he is the one with the problem about it) - nobody brought it up until he did - PPS the Sharkey bout does anything but show that Dempsey had a fair amount left!!?? He was taking a shellacking from Sharkey and saved himself (much like Tyson did against Botha - which is why I brought that bout up earlier as an equally ridiculous argument) - you call me a rascist but I'm black so whats the deal there??? :huh
Thanks for your support Rocky...I appreciate it. It irritates me when certain posters couch everything in color..No matter what race it is...Because of my background I have compassion for every fighter regardless of their race...And it is true that I defend the long dead Dempsey from misinformed and unfair posters of him,who SINGLE him out as a tyrant of oppressed people, when Dempsey, who had American Indian blood ,was not...He did fight John Lester Johnson, he did sign for a fight with the deserving Harry Wills,as pictuyres prove...He did have black sparring partners as Big Bill Tate, George Godfrey and American Indian Chief Turner...In the second World War he enlisted while past 40 in the Coast Guard, and was part of a landing ,with other men...He lived a long and scandal free life until his death in 1983...I hate to argue with other posters, but my nature is to do what I feel is right...Jack, no longer can. Thanks again Rocky....b.b.
Cheers Burt - i think we sorted those guys out - 95% of people on here are perfectly reasonable - its just that there's maybe 6 or 7 who have huge chips on there shoulder - either rascist white guys/rascist black guys or politically brainwashed whites/blacks who champion a cause just because they think it makes them appear intelectual or a bit right on - when really they're just making themselves sound silly - power puncher clearly also harbours a great deal of resentment toward folk from earlier generations to his also because in his little mind everyone who grew up through those eras were part of a primitive time and if you were white you'd definately have to have been a racsist either at some point or other - he is clearly not ready to show any kind of respect to anyone as only he is right obviously - but hey - don't let asholes like him put you off posting on here because I guarantee you the other 95% of people on here backed you against that jerk - another unanimous decision points win for you :happy
