    Reg? You reading tonight?:huh I said I didnt believe you or Hop's were racist but you took it quite deep in defending Hop's statement. A statement which was more to promote a fight rather than being a mantra. The fact the you even said Wrights name, PROVES you were sinking in the trap.

    Knowing what racism is?:lol: If you believe I dont know that? You're lost.
    I know the differences and have seen it all in that regard. Hence? I know its a totally a bunch of useless ****:good

    anybody offended by hopkins statement is foolish. in america, unfortunately a lot of blacks come from lower economic classes compared to whites. they traditionally have been disadvantaged in a lot of ways in what had been for a long time a white dominated society (but obviously the opportunities have been improving). but the one place they have more than held their own is atheletically. right or wrong, many take pride in that department as it has been for many the only place they level the playing field and in fact excell compared to many white contemporaries. it's thus especially bad to be "inferior" athletically to a "white boy" even tho obviously there are also great white atheletes. hence the comments. it is probably a lot different in other countries.

    The race card has been used in the past to sell tickets. Do you guys remember Cooney vs. Holmes?

    It shouldn't be too hard, the Reverend has a "Greatest Shits" album available, not that I'd buy it.
