Point is: People need to stop taking this stuff so seriously. Would it have been different if Calzaghe called Bernard a N.igger? Heck yes, but I don't see Joe saying that, so that's not a big deal either.

It's not being racist it's simply calling it how it is.
But the white closet racists should really shut the **** up about the black men bitching.
Hopkins is trying to sell the fight, that's all.

There is a perception.. That white people are soft.. and Blacks are hard... Balck pride dictates .. That never shall any Black man be bested by a white man in any sport or contest..
This has certainly gone on in Boxing since Jack Johnson... It carried right on until the last 10 years or so... Until some white guys actualy started winning a few fights here and there...
Movies like the Great White Hype.. is a brilliant parody of this perception..
Or jokes like.. Words we will never hear.. White HeavyWeight champ...
And **** it's true.. White people tend to be soft.. cause when your biggest worry is a pimple.. and maybe being pissed off cause you caught a run in your silk PJ's .. You are going to get fat and lazy....
But that is a Societal issue.. As we are now seeing with emergence of Poor white trash from Eastern Europe...
