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

[GunStar]

Disco Stu... come on man... I am just going to come out and say it..

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...

All this **** was created by the white people themselves, "The Next Great White Hope" was created by the white press, not by the brothers.

I will be offended!

How can't I be serious? Would you react the same way if Calzaghe said he'd never lose to a n.igger? Do you honestly think that's different?

"I would never lose to a ******."

"I would never lose to a black man."


There is a subtle difference here.

Did Bernard say "I would never lose to a honky cracka"?

It's typical Hopkins gamesmanship, probably a bit racist, but not to the degree that you are suggesting.

Another 26 pages of garbage race thread in Boxingscene.

If Calzaghe said he will not lose to a black man then it would not be a big deal, some of you are putting the N world instead of black, of couse Calzaghe will get bashed if he says he will never lose to a ******.

Know the difference between the word black and ****** dumbasses.

As for Bitchnard, I think he knows this the only way he can sell this fight, knowing very well that Calzaghe/Kessler fight was the lowest ratings in HBO history.

You were asking me for some points for your alt. I'll send them now.
