The official "I disapprove of Hopkins's comments" thread

[Spinz]

hmm im white but i think some people have got a little over-offended by his comments...

i know it would be alot worse if Joe said it... hell he might never even box again if he said it, which is ****ed up... but i dont think deep down he hates whites he just making sure everyone has this fight on their map, coz now no one will forget this.

The native American is a Dying breed.. It Culture all but wiped from the face of the Earth... In contrast.. Black Culture thrives..

300 years of slavery dont compare in that retrosepct...

[BrooklynBomber]

Why are you talking about things that have little to do with America, like for instance, the Roman Holy Inquisition?

It's not taken out of context in any way, what happened to blacks in America, can easily be rivaled by what happened to ***s in Europe and btw, what happened to south american nations and the native american nations.

But my point is different, I am not here to compare the sizes of our ****s, my point is that while a lot happened with my own ethnicity, you will never find me being racist agains(insert any european nation here).


It's time to get over it and grow up, and don't throw it everyone's faces.

It was way more than 300 years. Native Americans are by the way a mixture of races, being a black african was actually an official beginning race of people. Besides the black african in America cease to exist since blacks here have been mixed down with white blood.

i agree, everyone knows hopkins is the kind of person who will get in your mind any way he can, if he can take advantage of a double standard, then he will, plus if it angered joe calzhage, thats what hopkins wants.

I am gonna answer Sonofisis first.
As the point I stressed, the slves were considered to be animals(or more like commodity) and while what you are saying might be completely true, this is nothing new, we do the same with our cats and dogs.

As for the 3/5 compromise it was done solely for the political purpose of representation in the congress, as the slave state just did not have as many whites to have any serious representation in the house of represantatives.

Next to the cartdawg, read my post about what was done to the ***s in the last five hundred years. Oh, and don't forget the south american nations. They were something like 95% killed by the explorers, can you compare Africa to that?

Yes I can, they didn't even keep track of how many people were killed or tortured in slavery and the passage to America let alone throughout it's whole history. Go to library and do some research and check it out for yourself. i talking a thousand something yrs before christ of abusing Africa.

In American history, meaning took place in America no other race has suffered more than blacks!

[Jim Jeffries]

My own race? Which is what? I dont recall saying. But I see nothing racist about it, Not sure if youre in America or not, but a black person using that phrase doesnt sound racist to me. Not like Cal is the first white male Hop would be facing, if so how come we never heard he was a "racist" before? Cause he isnt, if you cant understand its all to get in Cal's head maybe you shouldnt watch boxing, because Ive seen worse than this. Take it with a grain of salt, Hop doesnt know Cal personally so he doesnt hate him.

He didn't belittle Calzaghe, he belittled a whole race, big difference.

Because it is relevant and serves to highlight how much you ***** about **** you never experienced anyway. However Spain, where i just so happen to be typing this mesage from, was never ***ish land. A ***ish minority was ousted but lets not get carried away. Arabs on the other hand did control a large portion of Spain.

I am obviously not gonna be able to transfer my point to you, if you wanna be a victim, well, go ahead.


And that comment about Africa, well, guess what, every race and ethnicity was abused at one point of it's history,

They say that there are remains of about 300 million people under the great Wall of China.

No he didnt. Man people try and find ways to dislike a fighter.
