Is Bernard Hopkins a Racist???

[WiganScott]

It was definitely ****** of him. Is it racist? i'm not sure, but If Calzaghe had said it the other way round, i think this woud be a whole bigger deal too.

[Thread Stealer]

it was just gym trash talk, although very classless of him.

i think joe will make old man hopkins and his 20 punches a round and grab pay.

[Mozza]

He made some ill-advised comments but I don't think he is a racist.

[Jim_Davis]

Hopkins was arguing with Calzaghe. The first thing that came to mind was Calzaghe's skin colour.


I dont give a **** about this whole "Hopkins was just trying to get under his skin" thats ****ing bull**** and you're a ***** if you still support Hopkins after that comment.

[C'MONMANG']

I think Hopkins is clearly a racist, his racist comment towards Calzaghe was inappropriate and uncalled for. If Calzaghe made a racist comment like that about Hopkins he would instantly be villafied by the media and Al Sharpton would show up at Calzaghe's doorstep demanding a public apology.

Hopkins aint a racist his best friend (Oscar) is white, fool!

oh so some of you think its ok to be racist if your not white then talk about double standards.

Just because you make a racist comment doesn't mean you're racist at all..People make racist comments on a daily basis and aren't even aware of it..

I often say "Shut yo black a$$ up" Shut yo fat a$$ up"...Technically those are racist comments but I'm far from a racist..

Oh Thank you you said it perfect and this should be the end of the thread. almost everybody in golden boy is white and if Hopkins was racist, he wouldn't be around them 24/7.

No. There's a difference between making racist comments and being a racist
