Joe Calzaghe: ''I'll Never Lose To A Black Boy!".

[Chunk..]

Damn, that does sound racist when it's said off the cuff like that, maybe am ignorant but how else would you interpret that?

Carry on.

These threads have all been made

There is a double standard when it comes to racism. If Joe would have said that, be be banned from boxing, raked over the coals in the media, and disgraced for life.

Bernard said it over and over again, yelling loudly, changing it to white "person" the last couple of times.

B-Hop should have apologized. The same rules should apply to everyone.

You had me thinking Joe had actually said that!

I was actually automatically shocked and disgusted when I read the title of this thread.

Maybe it is the way the media brainwashes people or whatever, I don't know, because I certainly didn't find the term "white boy" quite as offensive.

Black people are over emotional when it comes to this but I can see where they come from.

I didn't give a **** about what Hopkins said, I think it was ****** but I know Joe will make him pay for it.

[Sin City]

I'll never lose to a white boy....

That's the point am trying to make here, First impressions are:

* It looks racist.

* It would sound racist.

So why has Hopkins got away with what he said, maybe not that serious but it is. If Joe had said ''I'll Never Lose To A Black Boy!" He would be hung out to dry and you ****ing you know it!

Damn I was starting to get happy with Joe for growing some balls. But I guess it was all a dream. Blacks have to understand that they are not better than the man standing next to them. Im sick of these blacks always cracking jokes on every race but god forbid aother race insults or even jokes about their's. Tito should've stabbed that coon in the neck with the flag. But he didn't, gutless prick

Black people didnt persecute white people. White people persecuted and enslaved black people, despite laws that were against it. Many dont stop to realize that the civil rights movement was just in the 1960's, not long ago, where blacks were still hosed and attacked by german shepherds. Can you imagine what a fire hose feels like being put on full force, in the middle of the street while being watched and mocked by many who hate you? Thats why the statement is interpreted different, have you ever seen pictures of blacks hung on a tree with white people surrounding the hung victim as if its a dog and pony show? I never took what Hopkins said as racist, I guess you have to be black to understand such a thing so if youre not I dont expect you to understand.

idiot my ancestors who are all white didn't have any ****** and the time both sides of my family came over here slavery was outlawed. Plus if you knew your ****ing history, White slave owners treated blacks bad but not worse then the Black slave owners of black ppl in africa. In Africa slavery was far worse, if you want to be mad at someone be mad at your own kind since there the ones who sold ****** to the white man. Plus the fact that the ppl living today had nothing to do with slavery. So, stop with this bull**** racist crap bhopreign.

If you knew your ****ing history you would know this but I guess the white mans to blame for everything, ****ing idiot.
