has anybody told bernard hopkins that andre ward's dad is white?

Agreed. Its racist, pure and simple. It makes no difference what society 'labels' people as, its a matter of genetics. Besides, has nobody seen how pale Rio Ferdinand is, to say he's black is frankly absurd. There is nothing racist about it...

he speaks very highly of him and considers him his heir ...i don't think he knows the truth it doesn't matters if ward is half white 'cause his nuts are still dark so therefore ward is black.

BHop is gonna spin it and say Ward got that boxing skill from da mom. LOL Sounds about right. Black America! :headbang:

Quite frankly I've always thought that calling mixed race people black is an implicitly racist thing to do. Is someone with one black parent black? what about with one black grandparent? Agreed. Its racist, pure and simple. It makes no difference what society 'labels' people as, its a matter of genetics. Besides, has nobody seen how pale Rio Ferdinand is, to say he's black is frankly absurd.

MedVed is right as far as his breakdown as far as the U.S. goes.. i myself am Mixed my father is Black and my Mother is white , but i have never been looked at by others as a "White guy" , im considered black , like MedVed said Obama is considered Black , Tiger Woods is not considered one of the greatest white players he's considered a Black golfer , and so on.. if you're Mixed here in the U.S. and have color to your skin then you're going to be labeled as Black .... you're pretty much never gonna be labeled "White" when u have that type of skin tone even though you're mixed with both, just not happening in the U.S. Agreed..with that said I do believe that interracial people symbolize a new America with less racism and segregation.

nigerian ? you're telling me you don't know the nationality of the president's father ? :la: he was kenyan bro Haha my bad..either way that sounds pretty damn black to me. Now if you ask me if I thought the pres. Was an African American id say no because he is not. And Andre Ward is a great fighter regardless of race and I think his father deserves alot of respect to be able to raise a champion that would always appear to be a black fighter.

I said i didnt think he was a hardcore racist and admitted he favored black people..and besides what you think the President is black..everyone in America is quick to label him that..his father is Nigerian which is the most widely spread group of Africans ive interacted with in my life within the States. He is heavily supported by the Black community and heckled by alot of white supremecists and good ole boys. I remember my soph yr in college when the election was coming to an end on campus so many white students would openly talk about how they hated Obama. After he became President I remember alot of those same students talking about how he was half white and saying the same stuff you just said..so its omay for him to get hate for being a black man but can only recieve love as a white president? Youre not black and youre not mixed..but thanks for sharing your opinion nigerian ? you're telling me you don't know the nationality of the president's father ? :la: he was kenyan bro

It works like this. if you got 25% or 50% black then you = Black Nobody says Obama is white, they say he is black, even tho he is 50/50. I think its because once you ruin the talent pool you can never claim to be white? Here we call em Mutts or Molato's . I know someone 25% Native 25% Black 25% White 25% Asian only in the us in brazil , for example PRETO ( black ) and pardo ( brown ) are considered two different races

thank you , you just gave the definition of racism and the president is not black , but let's follow your logic, let's just ignore that he was born from a white uterus , grew up with a non black father figure, raised in hawai where there are very few black people , and then in south east asia where there are even less black people ,and then went on to live in white suburbia and study in harvard ( again , almost no black people ) bi-racial people=/= black people period I said i didnt think he was a hardcore racist and admitted he favored black people..and besides what you think the President is black..everyone in America is quick to label him that..his father is Nigerian which is the most widely spread group of Africans ive interacted with in my life within the States.

hes just from the streets and favors black people over any other race. thank you , you just gave the definition of racism and the president is not black , but let's follow your logic, let's just ignore that he was born from a white uterus , grew up with a non black father figure, raised in hawai where there are very few black people , and then in south east asia where there are even less black people ,and then went on to live in white suburbia and study in harvard ( again , almost no black people ) bi-racial people=/= black people period

Funny how people are saying mixed people shouldnt be considered black but before anyone mentioned Wards father..he was a black fighter And the President is black.

Ali is "black", and you're not gonna find any unmixed native Africans who look like him It's part racial part cultural. Even if someone is 25% black genetically, if they're a part of black culture, society will probably see them as completely black. If they're culturally white then society calls them "mixed". True..im black and have family members who are mixed and when were together it really makes no difference theyre just as much apart of our family as anyone else. With that said I dont tnk BHop is a hardcore racist hes just from the streets and favors black people over any other race.

aren't both his parents english too?

He only half likes him now ward probably considers himself a black man though
