    For those of you who arent from an urban setting

    in any sport, video game, contest or really activitiy in general in the black community its usually shunned upon to lose to the "white boy". For those of you having trouble wrapping their minds around this, a film that jumps out in my mind immediatly that would help explain the way this works is "white man cant jump" it doesnt really have anything to do with being racist or anything like that but just the fact that in the "hood" losing to the white boy is usually embarassing. Those of you who do understand and read this please back this up so everyone understands becaue its far from racist. If you dont understand please comment this threads not for aruging but understanding.

    Imagine if Ricky Hatton said I ain't losin' to a black boy..

    This **** ain't double standards no more.. it ain't the 1950's.. btw.. i'm not white.. the 'N' word is used constantly in the hood.. it doesn't make it anymore acceptable..

    I believe in double standards and not because I'm black but only because its true. Its just how life is until our society puts the foot down and decides to stop them. I'm glad people were offended because I guess because its something that should not be said but to call bhop a racist is pushing it a lil bit. and i dont really like bhop at all any more

    I just think it shows that people who think like that have an inferiority complex to the white man/slave master that's been ingrained in their heads.

    Honestly, Bhop is really trying to sell this fight and using the race card to doop the everyday doofus white boxing average guy to buy into this fight.

    You got 2 old champs who are both on their way out, gotta make it interesting to an otherwise boring fight.

    Hopkins, I think, went into his animalistic survival mode when he saw a rival and garbage flew out of his mouth. Everybody has at times said something they don't mean. Who in here hasn't said, "I love you" to a dog just to fullfill your animalistic desire.

    Hopkins at that encounter should have just mugged Calzaghe, took his money and in the mode of Clintwood and McQueen, leave without saying a word. Well, maybe a "**** you!"

    he's just trying to give people the impression that he stands a chance in this fight.

    some of the hop fans after the weigh in were hilarious.

    "did you see how much bigger he looked than joe?!?!?"

    yeah, and.......?

    i took it as a american derogrity term as the original poster used in his analogy

    white men cant jump

    in england`s inner city`s where i played sports for 25 years be they individual or team sports most particpants were black and white was the minority it was not a factor as there was never an inferioty complex issue whether it be the boys and men themselves or in the media.

    one of the teams i played football for was called carrabean where i was easliy spotted in the team photo.



    whereas it seems there is some kind of given in american society that black sportsmen are better than white hence hopkins comments.

    did not offend me , because i know if you are good enough you will win if not you will lose, colour is not a factor.

    i dont give a **** about p/c correctness anyway .
