Have you noticed how Max Kellerman always rides Andre Ward's bandwagon, even justifying last Saturday's hometown decision in Ward's favor? Do you remember how Max always used to defend Floyd at HBO, even when the entire world was against Floyd for ducking champions in his own weight class? This is a phenomenon called "white guilt". It's a way for white people to feel better about themselves and assure everyone (including themselves) that they're not racists. We saw it in the OJ Simpson trial. And yes, it is a form of racism, but against one's own race. White guilt is especially rampant in the UK, where non-whites are treated like royalty. Brits are in total fear of being branded as racists, so they become politically-correct to a ridiculous extreme. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_guilt George F. Will, a conservative American political columnist, wrote: "White guilt is a form of self-congratulation, where whites initiate "compassionate policies" toward people of color, to showcase their innocence to racism.
Max is a self proclaimed boxing purist so of course he's always going for the perceived boxer/technician of the fight. So yeah, Ward and Floyd would be good candidates. This is a dumb thread btw.
Im not white but when im with my black friends and we have a white friend amongst us i make sure to be politically correct and make sure that we only speak english and we dont do anything that he could consider racist towards him. Its nothing to do with color. Its just being polite and courteous to the fellow man so as to not hurt his feelings. learn about manners!
It's hard to stomach his pandering. I'm not a psychiatrist, but his biasness may have something to do with his brothers tragic demise. Does anyone know when numbnuts contract is up?
I saw his comments/questions to Ward and effectively asked him "Do you think you won this fight?" which seemed to irk Ward. Not sure about this White Guilt - that's a stretch based on circumstantial observations.
Andre Ward is half white, himself. I feel Max Kellerman keeps it real more than any other. I weirdly always seem to agree with his opinions. You're another bum who thinks Ward-Kovalev was a robbery, right?
Kellerman first and foremost is a patriot. Of course he's happy an American fighter wins against a foreigner. How many Brit commentators are happy when a Frenchman wins against a British fighter? Cmon its common sense.
This white guilt thing is the biggest bull**** on the internet. Black people are treated so bad in the us. As a white person you dont feel any discrimination at all and yet you will me tell me that white people are some sort of victims. White people are the by far worst thing on earth. Slavery, holocaust colonism is all build by white people mainly from germany or britain or the us( what is a mixture of those 2). Im am white by the way
These guys are the worst, they won't say anything about Lampley bias but they mention Kellerman, I actually think Kellerman gave balance to all the bias that Lampley was spewing.
Ertwin, calm down. Although I agree with most of what you said (i.e. white people really can't relate to some of the struggles of minorities) I wouldn't go so far as say we're the WORST thing on the earth. We do a ton of good things too (like inventing the bong)! Anyway, back to the thread subject, I think Max is awesome and very level in almost everything he says. He can always back up his statements with thoughtful/logical reasoning.
