Stop using Boxing as a Proxy Race War

Excellent post; green k.

But you hate the Klitschkos and Calzaghe for being white don't you? Movies are not reality. Nah, but I hate you because you're a moron.

Have you ever rooted for a white boxer over a black boxer? Give us an example. I rode with Rocky Balboa against Creed, Lang, and Dixon all the way.

people are usually treated base on how they behave. want to be treated like first class than act like one. a lot of black people listen to rap, call each other "my neggar" and act like gangsters but want to be treated like first class. act like first class? u mean act like a white person? racist much?

This is 2010. Get over the racial bullsh!t and get behind a guy because you like what he does in the ring. You're the same mothafuccers that get mad when you see an interracial couple out and about. If you had a girl of your own would it matter? Nope. It only matters to lonely losers. Same thing with Boxing. You can't fight so you can only cheer for a guy that looks similar to you to win. That way you can feel a false sense of personal victory. Guess what?! You haven't won sh!t homie! great fukkin post, im applauding right now

yeah, give it a couple of days and it will drop. Or just go to other sections. NSB is crap usually, whether its this race thing or whatever some idiots will come out with. The other sections don't get as much traffic but there are always some good threads going on, just slow.

ignorance can't be battled with reasonable arguments. The easiest way it to ignore them and they fade away It's sad when we can't discuss boxing on a boxing board anymore without every thread degenerating into some inferiority complex racial garbage. Yeah. I'll just have to come back when this crap has cooled off.

It seems some would like to attach that fighter to them since he is of same racial colour/descent. Boxing is diverse, we shouldn't support fighters based on their skin colour, this is just plain silly. I'm a big fan of all boxers, to the blackest, to the whitest, from Tarver to Pavlik, it really doesn't bother me. You know what im sayin?

This board is getting damn near unreadable. This is the Mods fault. You guys need to do a better job of policing these boards. Honestly all race and nationality threads should be deleted. But they've been allowed to go on for so long it'd take a major shift in what was allowed.

Haha yeah that sentence was a bit drawn out, maybe could have split it into two :D Yeah but I get ya. Im totally random when I see two guys on Friday Night Fights or whatever: I just grab onto something mentally like "I like his trunk color" or "The other guy looks like a jerk" when it comes to picking a guy to root for. If your race/nationality is what your brain says to choose I cant fault ya for that. I got Dejan Zaveck (A Slovene like me) in my sig. :lol1:

floyd fans love to play that game. Let em have it. Only Floyd fans? Are you sure about that?

I'm black and I just can't get down with that kinda sh!t anymore. Back in the Joe Louis or Ali days when we were treated as second class citizens and less than human with few opportunities and poor representation I could understand it, but now? Nah. I'll cheer for whomever the fucc I want because sports shouldn't be about race. The Nationalism is pretty bad too. Can give anymore Green K today, 24 hours and i would for this excellent post...This post goes for every poster in any boxing forum or any boxing fan.

Couldn't agree more, I don't really recall this sought of racial tension even a few years ago. The Mayweather vs Pacquaio debacle has only increased this, I do like these boards but alot of people on here don't act very noble.

That's the longest sentence i've ever read. But I hear what youre sayin' to a degree. Haha yeah that sentence was a bit drawn out, maybe could have split it into two :D

If a person only supports fighters of his own race or only choses who to support based on race it might be taking it a bit to far. I support fighters based on the skills, style, resume, personality but if you have a situation where all else is equal like two unknown fighters with identical skill and style where only nationality differs then it is only natural to support your own nationality or race but this shouldn't led to being disrespectfull to other races and nationalities.
