What if Joe Calzaghe claimed he would never lose to a black man

Joe Calzaghe could reply with: "I'll never lose to a Convict, has already cashed his first social security check, and comes from a place nicknamed Killadelphia."

Race relations would have been all over Calzaghe like the proverbial rash if he'd have made a racist comment towards Hopkins. Britain simply doesn't accept racism, but whether people like it or not, racism towards a white person tends to get brushed under the carpet a lot. If Joe Calzaghe had said, 'I'll never lose to a black man!' he'd have been vilified in Britain and it would have made the front page on the newspapers, and although what Hopkins said certainly isn't acceptable, the vilification clearly isn't the same. I'm most definitely against Racism of any form, and what Hopkins said was Racist, tongue in cheek or not. Totally agree 100%

I wonder what would have happened. Would there be more of an outcry? I think he would probably have a lawsuit on his hands by now.

asylum seekers are not economic migrants, there should always be a place for people who are genuinlly fleeing certain death, but failed asylum seekers should be sent back, appeals take far to long and then the disappear before they are due to leave, one guaranteed reason that lets you stay is if you say you are a phag, that means most of the yanks on here are safe

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_pirates read and learn Piracy is crazy and still goes on today. I do a lot of scuba diving and in africa around kenya and such you have to be very careful. And around China it's even worse. Obviously they are not getting people to sell as slaves but they are robbing many people.

What Bernard said was totally uncalled for....but in our society a blackman making borderline racial comments are more acceptable than a whiteman doing the same thing. Caucasians were never been made slaves by another race in at least 500 years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_pirates read and learn

al sharpton would escort hopkins 2 the ring and be all over calzaghe

In my honest opinnion, its those people who are fat, lazy and cant be bothered to work but would rather live on benefits who complain about immigration. Immigration has brought britain to an economic level of stability after we were put on to our knees after world war II, so really you have to take this fact in to consideration. However i do believe that the current wave of eastern european immigrants are having a negative impact, especially in my city of manchester. Anyways, on the point of this hopkisn jibe about "not losing to a white dude", who gives a shit?? why are people making a big deal out of it, eastern european boxers talk racist shit about coloured boxers all the time in their own nations but no one gives a fuckin damn then do they???

agreed mate,we pay 250 gs a week for benefits on immigrants who can claim for their kids who dont even live here?lol...how fucked up is that.only in good old britain..it drives me nuts..lol It's only gonna get worse. I really do worry where this country is heading.

Let them come over. I have nothing against people wanting a better life. But make it like Australia only if they have got something to offer the country for the better. Just don't let them all over with no checks or anything then give them houses and pay for them, that's what I object to. agreed mate,we pay 250 gs a week for benefits on immigrants who can claim for their kids who dont even live here?lol...how fucked up is that.only in good old britain..it drives me nuts..lol

over 50% of the UK housing stock has went to foreigners, govenment statistic, now wonder there is tension Let them come over. I have nothing against people wanting a better life.

That bingo hall remark is the funniest thing i've heard all day blakey. Keep up the good work. Mosques (Spelling?) are being built by muslims all over the country. They don't have to wear helmets on motorbikes because it's against their religion. Could we go and live in India,Pakistan or wherever and build a catholic church no we bloody couldn't. We'd also have to abide by their laws which is right so they should abide by ours. You can't get a house in this country either unless you are black,asian,gay,lesbian or a pregnant teenager. You work hard all your life and can't get a house and stay on the housing list for years too keep being told you are not top of the list yet. Then some asian or whatever walks in, can't even speak the language properly hasn't got a job then gets a 4 bedroom house and a few grand a month for support of the government. I spent two months out of work in 18 years had a job lined up but couldn't start it for a few months asked for a crisis loan of £200 to see me through and got told to f##k off. Enoch Powell was bloody right and they should have listened to him. over 50% of the UK housing stock has went to foreigners, govenment statistic, now wonder there is tension

in the NHS hospitals the beds of muslims have to be turn to the fuckin east so the bedbound fuckers can pray to mecca, why someone wants to pray to a bingo hall is beyond me, but this is true, not as if the nurses have anything else better to do have they, even there uniforms have to be changed now as you are'nt allowed to show a bit of leg muslim only days in the swimming baths as the sight of female skin sends the fuckers bezerk That bingo hall remark is the funniest thing i've heard all day blakey.

I think we can all agree that either is wrong. However, considering the history of racism it does have more sting when making racist comments are made against blacks. It's the difference between hitting someone with a wiffle bat and a wooden bat.

you are winding me up with the nhs one?please say you are...lol..what the fuck is going on?it is indeed a MAD WORLD my friend..lol Of course your right, but thats what's so ridiculous about the PC brigade, Blacks call one another `******` but nobody else can.
