    Just one example of how times and racisl attitueds have changed.

    Very ****** thread.
    yeah that monkey chanting was always suprising, given that chimps have white skin under their hair where the sun hasn't reached their skin.




    Personally speaking, I understand that you need historical perspective in order to evaluate history.
    However I am pretty sure that people who used monkey chants at black athletes knew deep down that what they were doing was insulting and unfair, that's why they were doing it, to cause offense. They enjoyed doing it, and they deserved to be reprimanded for what they were doing. But they never will be now. They'll get off as scot-free as the lynchers of poor ol' Leo Frank wayback then.

    I don't mind taking it further and ******ity runs rife everywhere and far bck in the roots of society. If George 'major tithead' Washington, the ultimate king of being a total cunnt, can support a statement that all men are equal in the American eye but then own, whip and trade free American men at his own home for his entire life, then you can kinda excuse people making a few verbal insults. Oh George so MUST have known deep down that what he was doing was wrong, but he ignored that inside voice because it was convenient and easy for him to do so.

      Only those who like to play victim and/or have an agenda will be "offended".

        Thing is, its not the fault of the offendee, is it?

        If you excuse a verbal insult too often, the next step is a physical insult, and then the economic/pecuniary insult, and next we'll have lynching and slavery being permitted based on the observation of skin colour.

        Its hardly the fault of the offendee that some people react to hundreds of years of systematic enslavement based on skin colour attributes.

          I remember when Minter said that, and Hagler sliced his punk ass up and they threw bottles at Hagler as he celebrated and was rushed out of the ring.

                I'm not sure if he said "black man" as I was young, but Hagler came out and took it to Minter.

                    What ****ing era is this? No wonder people are turning away from boxing with this kind of **** being spoken openly and encouraged.

                      Monkey chants and throwing bananas still happens in soccer, not in USA but in Europe
