People are looking way to deep into the bhop : " I dont lose to white boys" commnet

listen to alan minter speak.

the man stuggles to put a sentance together.

genuine bottom of the class student.

1980 i think the hagler fight was and it was a time of riots around the country and football hollganism and the aftermath was just a sympton of the time period.

mark kaylor had a similar following

 

minter getting iced is extremely enjoyable to watch. as will watching X get his, no more running from joe now bernard.

 

People expect Bhop to act all "cheerio" is ridiculous. Here's the thing and this is wear you learn in life to bite your tongue. If he does lose, He's gonna hear it more from the white guys who have a black superiority in sports/complex.

 

Hopkins is a racist, both against whites and Puerto Ricans, its a proven pattern of behavior, if you defend it you are supporting racisim

 

While I respect what you're saying and if it were almost any other fighter I would agree but the fact is Hopkins is a cartoon ( not that I don't think he is a good , verging on great fighter he is ! ) but everything he says or does is so over the top as to be comedic. I don't really think that in his heart Hopkins would be more upset to lose a white fighter than he would a black one he would hate to lose period !

 

If he truely means it or not doesnt matter really, he makes no intention to make it known that he is kidding, he makes rascist comments and makes no excuse for it.

Did Kramer, the actual comic, get a pass for being "over the top"?

No, he had to go see the good "reverend"

 

His comment was a tad below the belt for 2 reasons.
1) If the boot was on the other foot and Calzaghe had said "i aint loosing to a black man" there would have been complete uproar
2) He is gonna lose to a white man if the fight happens

 

Bottom line is he shouldnt have said it.

But I don't thnk he's racist, he's just ****ing stupid.

 

Now that is a racist comment.

 

The fact that it is widley accepted in certain communities does not make it any less racist. **** racisim was once a law that everyone accepted.

 

B Hop certainly seems to tow the company line.He aint stupid thought.You dont bite the hand that feeds you.Over here its called "playing the white man".

 

Basically this post says that Racism is customary in black culture so it's O.K.

 

Exactly...:good And he would lose the fight. How ironic...

 

Customary? Considering the deep seated history involved its fare to say that most posters here wont understand its social nor cultural implications.Racism isnt something that can just be explained away blithly no matter how PC guys want to get on here.
