    What about a white lad who exclusively enjoys boinking black chicks.

    Racist or not?

    I'm not one to complain about avatars or encourage bannings.

    Quite the contrary.

    However, as an advocate of free speech, I believe the owners of ESB have a right to ban anyone they choose for whatever reason they so desire.

    Sounds like IVAN DRAGO N( Rocky 1v )...in real life, this swede was Grace Jones bodygaurd, and was said to have been going with her.
    I find no problems ith inter-racial involvement...after all, I married a Philippines born Asian...but I would never tell her that as a fighter, i'd never lose to any rice-eaters...I would be ashamed to state that, and it would offend people on here as well, so it's not a good thing to say such statements...that's the whole root cause...and I think it unwise to side with Hopkins on this BY THE WAY...I agree with you on your post # 158???

    I tried to defend you, you might say, when you posted that thread regarding Hopkins decapitating by Calzaghe...Your avatar was critcised...and it was stated that you should be banned ....by someone who seems to have no problem claiming Hopkins' white boy comment was not racial Your thread I am referring to, is currently on page 3

    You specifically mentionded that the same person that had a problem with Relentless' avatar also thinks Hopkins' statement wasn't racial. Clearly, you have a specific poster in mind. I'll ask again, are you refering to me?

    I'd have to look it up..it's somewhere on page 3. The point is, some are offended by the comments on Hopkins remark...i was....But if i was an African, i may just as well be offended by the avatar,,,,
    did you defend hopkins on that?? if so, why?? I mean, some are offended, why not just understand it??

    I said something about the avatar, but I wasn't offended. Hopkins is my favorite fighter. Therefore, it's understandable that I say something if I see him being mocked in someone's avatar. However, my comment on the avatar in that thread was made in jest.

    That doesn't demonstrate racism.

    He is not denigrating the condition of Calzaghe -being a "boy", and being white.
