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

:good

To be fair Calzaghe has mentioned in interviews about how he would be popular in America because he is white:deal ..they're both idiots!

 

Good for him.At the end of the day its just talk.Im pretty sure neither guy meant it with dark intent.Either way if they did who gives a ****.Does anyone here think Mike meant what he said to that reporter when his "father and mother" were both White? At the end of the day guys here are trying to be too self righteous and too PC. There isnt a comparison between black and white racism as much as people think there should be.Its not ironically that black and white nor is it that cut and dried.

 

Again brother I repect your stance , prinicpals are a good thing but you have to accept due to historical reasons ( of which we are all aware ) Black guys are allowed a certain amount of ragging its just the way world is. If I thought Hopkins really meant it I would offended too but I really really really don't think he did :good

 

I'm glad he said it.

It was at that point it became obvious that the fight will happen.

 

Dude will you stop making so much damn sense I' ve been itching to disagree with you on something but every post I find you're on there making valid and interesting points . f**ker ! lol

 

Ok il stop now.Il just sprinkle my posts with "Gay" every few words im sure it will make alot more sense.:yep

 

Shaquille O'Neal said a similar thing about being dunked on by a white guy and how people would clown a black b-ball player for doing so.

Anyway, Hopkins's comment was rather classeless, but why are people surprised? Hopkins will do or say some crazy things to promote fights or wage psychological warfare.

 

Walk with me. I'm a white American guy (been called black Irish!! got my bases covered) and it really does not bother me personally, but I think it's really stupid that Hops said that unless it was meant as a joke. Dennis Rodman's book, of all places, had a good section about this issue. But it really is time to move on from these comments, especially because of all the responses of " If Ricky Hatton had said........." Again personally, because of all the horrible history, if Hatton/Calz had said this I would be really pissed because as a white guy I do not want anyone lumping me in with these guys.

 

I think the key here, is that we all need to be a bit more tolerant and not take every last word that media figures say so seriously. I happen to be white, and frankly I can care less if someone of another description says that I can't jump, run, fight whatever. Sports figures have a reputation for being smack talkers, and likely always will. On a reverse note, I think that the Don Imus thing was blown out of proportion, but I also can't tell others how they should feel about it either.

 

:good

 

You`ll be surprised what money will make most of us do..

 

racism is a dead moot issue, it does not mean anything anymore, it was a racist comment but bhop is not a racist, you can say a racist comment and not be a hate monger, its ******ed to paint someone into a corner for a comment, especially in a heated moment, people made a big deal about tommy morrison's comment about black people, just like bhop's comment it was a racist thing to say, but does he actually hate every black person? c'mon thats stupid, tyson has said many racist things but he prolly has more white friends than black, purple whatever, bottom line....who cares?

 

Bingo..

 

Yeah, point taken. Listen, I'm a white boy, and I am not personally offended by the comment. I don't think it was necessary, but that's life. If it was the other way round it would be terrible because of how black people were treated by the white man so many hundreds of years ago, but some are still tarring us all with the same brush. What happened in the past has nothing to do with us, and the white boys with a decent amount of brain cells are very strongly anti-racist. To be honest, I think it's funny. BHOP should have called Joe a Honky. LOL.

When I was in Germany I had friends apologizing for Hitler's behaviour. I was like "WTF? Why do you feel the need to apologize for a shithead like that?". It's nothing to do with the current generation, just as white on black racism is nothing to do with the current white generation, but there will always be someone somewhere who will take a comment like Bernard's up the wrong hole. As I said, that's life. It's a shame that racism is ever brought into the picture at all. Regardless of colour or race, the better sportsman will always beat the lesser sportsman. Let the silly comment be water under the bridge.

Boxing fans -- unite.

 

Right on ALL counts. This comment is all about trying to build interest in a fight which is likely to be rather one sided and boring.:yep
