Who goes along with the following: that the majority of black Britons support Hatton

You spoke too soon.

 

I'm zipped!!

 

No, you question asked for peoples opinions. I gave mine....

To my knowledge you've made 3 threads on ESB over your ~100 posts and they've all been on the same subject. Have you got any opinions on any other (non race related) boxing issues?

 

You have a very sick, racial (probably racist) agenda.

 

What the **** do you know about race integration in this country? Nothing. None of my black mates feel bothered about watching football or boxing with drunk white Brits, because they all have white mates too. Black people and white people hang around together in Britain, someone who is one colour is more likely to have more friends of the same colour but the issues you imagine to exist are not anything like as you see it.

Drunken white fans in most bars, casinos and pubs will cheer on Hatton because he is a Brit, just like they cheered on Lewis against Tyson, Lewis against Vitali or Lewis against any non Brit.

The football hooligan firms are mixed race, the pubs across the major citys have races mixing. Unless you live in England or have been in for prolonged periods of time and seen something I have not then quit talking out of your ass.

 

..and the article doesn't say Hatton is a racist - you do. A small part of the article lists Manning (a racist) and Barton (who knows but you can't discern that he's a racist from his fight with Dabo as he had fights with many more white footballers and no other black one's that I know of, and you can't judge someone for their brother's crimes) as among his well known friends of his. Pretty lame attempt to misrepresent the article as stating Hatton is a racist.

Basically it comes down to you saying Hatton was friends with Manning so he's a racist. While I wouldn't choose to hang around with him, I also wouldn't claim to know him via his stage act and I doubt very much whether Hatton and he would spend loads of time together talking about race issues.

 

More shite from someone who is talking as if he knows the facts. I am white, I go out in Brixton ALL the time. I drink in pubs there where there are more black people and in ones where it is a 50/50 mix and in others where there are more whites.
I have several friends there and if you go to all night drum and bass nights in pubs like the Telegraph on Brixton Hill, it is about a 50/50 split, whites and blacks with no racial aggro. The Djs tend to be white, the MCs black.....there are Jamaican guys in there, British black guys, British white guys and girls from all over....

Please stop talking about things you have never experienced and know absolutely nothing about.

 

It isn't against your motion or the opposite of that, I didn't call anyone names and expect not to be called. Yeah, it's stupid that anyone of us backs up one individual for ethnical, political or cultural reasons even, cause these guys don't have the slightest respect about us so why should I cheer em up? It's stupid... Nobody can prove what the other member claimed to be true cause the survey that could legitimize such an argument would be anti-ethical by modern society standards so if it's not proved, it could be false or not... Sure you don't need to see that something is there to know about it and there goes your pertinent political paralell, but so my presumptions about this threads are proven correct - outside wars that tend to intensify with the date of the sport event. I have respect for David UK, K2ray and hope we all enjoy the build-up to this upcoming showdown with two great, funny and tough guys like Floyd Mayweather Jr and Ricky Hatton, but I have to say I have more interest in sharing and discussing boxing with ESB members than in the fighters themselves still...
