The TRUTH comes out....

[sonofisis]

Racial threads pretty much suck.

But, sonofsis, you cannot deny that there is a double standard (ie..Hopkins can make a racist statement without condemnation from the media and Calzaghe surely cannot). You don't deny that. You in fact think white people deserve it. That's a fairly racist thing in itself. I think playing the race card by either side is ignorant, inflamatory, and appeals to the basest nature of people on both sides of the spectrum.

In short...sonofsis, why call other people racist when you appear to be a racist yourself?

Wiley, I'm not racist, so spare me. I actually agree with you and there's no part of my post where I condoned what Hopkins said. Quote where I've even implied it. I told my father about it and he even said it was dumb. The point is that just because Hopkins makes one slick comment doesn't mean it should be open season on black people. Or Maybe the late Dr. Kalid Muhammad was right.

When I read the title to this thread, I actually thought you were about to say the poster "THE TRUTH" had admitted he was gay.

That would have been a ****ing shock.

sonofsis quote:
"Many white people suffer from delusions of grander, in they they don't accept responsibility for bring misery to every part of the world they set foot in while pretending that anybody external to their own appreciate their presence or need their dreams to be defined by them."


I'm sorry, but that sounds fairly racist to me. But then again, what do I know?

I'm outa this thread.

Hopkins Also Said He Would Never Lose To A Guy From Arkansas.

Lol @ That Clown.

Honestly, coming from Hopkins, it doesn't surprise me. He has proven to be a classless prick many a time before. I officially lost my respect for him as a person when he was demanding that the Ring magazine still let him keep his title after his loss to Jermain Taylor.

Well then he should fight Wlad next.

I guess it comes from the idea that if you are a african american man today a white man beating you would be reminiscent to the white slave owner beating his slave.

A lot of people have that pride that tells them that "That wouldn't happen to me."

I don't take it as if he thinks that he is above all white people but he is telling us that he will do anything to win over a white person.

[Valgas]

The double standard forcibly puts sensitive [racist] White folks in the shoes of the Negros who lived back in the days when Whites relieved daily stress by ****ing up a Black person's day with physical and verbal abuse and dared them to raise a finger or fix their mouths to defend themselves. Doesn't feel good now, does it? ****, if Hoe Calzhagay said something similar, he would have quickly apologized, ****** some Black **** and it would have been all gravvy in a couple days. Seriously though, what kind of White person would get bent out of shape if Calzhaghay said something openly racist anyway? Either scenario would generate tons of interest for a fight between them.

I for one am not all that shocked to hear this, and no he isn't just sayin it to sell the fight.. the man has a bit of hate in him.

Ive seen him up close and personal quite a bit and must say Hopkins is usually known as a prick in the boxing world... the guy often times punched Freddie like crazy when hitting the mitts, face, body, you name it... and NO not accidently...

i guess many years of boxing takes a toll on these fighters... in very different ways on each individual.

like James Toney still think he is going to be HW champion without working for it

[F.O.S]

I'm so shocked at Hopkins remark.

HE HAS NO EXCUSES ! NO REASON AT ALL FOR THAT **** !

I hope Joe ignores him and refuses to fight the racist scumbag !

If Hopkins was British this would get big press and finish Hopkins career !

The sport cannot allow these remarks to fly around from their top pro's.
