Jermaine Taylor twitter

Taylor was just mocking Hopkins in that video he's not racist

 

he is in to heavy drinking!

 

What the hell? JT changed. He was a well behaved guy during his prime years. Maybe the shooting thing has him pissed off cause he might do serious time. But he changed.

 

Well the second vid is him shooting.

Hes ALWAYS been into guns.

The other one, maybe hes racist, maybe hes just making fun of Hopkins. I dont know

 

Taylor has always been a class act. However, leading up to the first Pavlik fight he all of a sudden snapped and started trash talking.

 

The crazy nitwit is living proof that AA still has some power left in his punches and can scramble your brains but good.Taylor in dire straights mentally as his recent actions have proven.:nut

 

Maybe it was just his public image.

FWIW, Manny Stewart back in 2007 said Jermain had some "street thug" in him.

I want to hear more about the shooting. He fired "multiple times" at his cousin but did not get charged with attempted murder?

What did he do? Fire at his feet and make him dance?

 

I think what Jermaine Taylor said was stupid, insensitive, and stupid. But I think there is a reason that racially insensitive comments made with regard to whites, is not held to the same level of criticism.

These comments were made in a majority white, racially charged country, within which the white community hold the majority of the privilege (quite significantly so across the western world, as well). On top of this, there is also a significant, and very relevant, history of racial tensions and divides in the US. Racially insensitive comments made towards minorities, especially African Americans, carry the weight of history and context. As a result, I strongly believe that whilst Taylor’s comments were stupid and offensive, they’re simply not as bad as if a fighter like Pavlik had done the same.

I’m going to do my best to avoid getting into this debate, because I think it’s heading straight down a dodgy path (especially given the reform we’ve seen here), but I strongly believe that the context and history of exploitation and privilege are the reason for racially insensitive (or outright offensive) remarks towards minorities carrying more weight.

And I’ll reiterate, that does not mean I find Taylor’s comments to be acceptable. It’s not helpful, it’s not needed, and it is offensive

 

Maybe he was making fun of Hopkins.

If anything, Jermain just makes himself look bad with those comments.

PC/Un-PC/Racism/whatever aside, he had to say he wouldn't lose to "another"...because he's already lost multiple times to white fighters.

 

Cliffs: It's more acceptable for blacks to be racist than whites.

 

I heard his cousin and his friend came to his home uninvited. Maybe the defense is using that as an excuse in that he was defending himself against intruders. Who really knows what happened. Hope he doesn't do time though.

 

I dont think shouting a gun on the street or your back yard is legal. Am I wrong ?

 

I'm white and didn't find anything he said the least bit offensive, white boy.
