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

I cant really speak so much for the USA I know the Black white thing there is unlike ANYWHERE else in the World.. I can Assure you..IN Canada .. and The UK.. It is the Blacks.. Arabs and Asians who make up the majority of racists..
And That is not debateable..

I can not contest that as I don't reside there.

Your an idiot. There's a big difference between calling someone a white boy and using a racial epithet to refer to a person. White boy can be replaced with black boy, hispanic boy, chinese boy, japanese boy. It's demeaning to refer to a man as a boy but it is by no means racist.

So, he called him a white boy????

Saying "I would never lose to a white man" and saying "I would never lose to a ******" both imply the same meaning. So does it really matter?

He said he would never lose to a white boy...

I didn't mean for it to be a crusade. I'm willing to drop it if I know the people I'm talking to here do not condone that. I just want to know who I'm talking to. Honestly I pm'ed you only because I thought your voice would help the situation.

I hear what your saying & I'll repeat that I'm disappointed that Hopkins went that route because if Cal would've said that to Hopkins, I'd be pissed off personally. Like I said I can't co-sign what Hopkins said & pass it off as trash talk. He could say all the **** he wants but when it gets racial it's wrong.

Hopkins isn't an idiot, he is very well spoken. From his interviews you can tell he is a sharp guy. Now that he said that comment, all white people are going to want him to get his ass kicked. Which to him means more PPV sales. Even he admitted that the scrap with winky at the weigh in was preplanned, what makes you think this isn't planned either? I don't know if the fight with Calzague has been signed yet, but if it hasn't this will put tons of pressure on Calzague.
I personally hate watching that old man "fight", if you can call it that.... I hope Calzaghe doesn't waste his time with Hopkins,

I'm white and I don't really care what Hopkins said because it can't be taken seriously but I find sonofisis' comments a bit of a joke. If Joe Calzaghe said "I'll never get beat by a black man" you would be out on the streets burning your bra and playing N.W.A on your ****** blaster.

Oh, ok. Well, I certainly agree that was unnecessary. I do however find it interesting that some can equate that to the use of a word that was used to oppress an entire people. (N.igger) Those two are both wrong, but certainly not comparable.

Well the use of the terms is exactly the same.
