Any white guys supporting Hopkins?

I'm white but heres how I look at it....I don't believe that Bernard Hopkins is a racist. I don't believe he hates all white people because their white. If I thought Hopkins was an actual racist I wouldn't root for him. And that goes the same way if a white fighter was racist, I wouldn't root for him either. I don't like racism.Last edited by Truth; 04-15-2008, 06:43 PM.Comment

Im white and Im going for Calzaghe, but race aint got nothin to do with it. In fact the only white fighters Im a fan of are Joe C. and Wladimir. Unfortuntately there are some ignorant people who turn big fights like this into a battle of the races and get all sensitive about the ****. Its just boxing.Comment

its never just sports for black folks...because many.prolly most of us since the 400 years of torture ,murder,****,chattle slavery weve endured at the hands of white people..we tend to go for the black man..its just that simple..we cant be racist we dont have the power to be...im for hopkins
now what i find funny is that whites will go for the white person...lay people not hardcore boxing fans but guys who go to the bar and get twisted... UNLESS the white guy is from another country then the white guys will go for the nationalist.... so its my opinion that a majority of americans will be for hopkinsComment

You guys?? I'm not British lol wtf.You are ******ed if you actually buy into the U.S vs. U.K angle, this isn't Mayweather/Hatton. Nobody who was offended by what Hopkins said instantly went "you know what, I forgive him because he's American" and decided to buy the fight. It's simply another angle to play, and Hopkins is the master of playing off of angles.
Besides, you guys have universal healthcare, so I'm pretty sure that makes you the winners..........Comment
