Why does Hopkins say racist comments...

[MANGLER]

In the context that its used, I'd say yes. There really isn't a derogatory word for whites, but when people use "white boy" in a certain context, you know they're not being nice about it.

He coulda said "cracker" or "honky". Obviously there was a negative connotation to the comment, but people makin a big deal of this are just lookin for a reason to bash Hop. Yea he gave it to em, but I still say who gives a ****? If Adamek spat back, "I'm gonna **** that brotha up" or "I'll kick your black ass punk," I wouldn't consider that to be an earth shatterin racial slur either.

To be honest, I've been a Hopkins fan, but this really leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

The guy has benefited from the help of many white people in his life.

It would be better if he just left the racial **** out of it imo.

and the white police would come and shoot them all down..and if there was a strong resistance the racist FBI would come in and lock em all up like Huey P.

No there is no double standard..White people sit atop of everything in the world..all the international banking institutions..corporations...militaries etc

and when their money is affected(like disney in haiti for instance) they send in a team to remove that person/persons in the way(aristeed in this case)

Bernard hopkins is not even a black persons name..its an anglo name given by a slave master

..Hopkins doesnt even know his real name

nuff said

Kanye West threw a birthday party and paid $30,000 dollars for a take away in the UK to fly his food over - imagine how much fuel that cost. Imagine how many African's starved and died over the duration of that flight and could have benefitted fom that money - that would have been a real birthday present.

Black soldiers have maimed and killed innocent Afhans/Iraq's. Say what you like about them doing it 'for the white elite' or what orders they were given but they still pulled the trigger at the end of the day.

How many thousands...no MILLIONS....of Blacks will suffer in Africa through diamond & oil exploitation all whilst a BLACK president sits in the white house this coming four years? How many Phillapinos? How many MILLIONS of Latin americans?!?!?!

How many cheap TV meals have YOU had off the back of slave southern american labour? How much cheap petrol have YOU used? HOW MUCH cheap gas have you used heating your home that has been strongarmed from some poor 3rd world country!?!!??!

How many BLACK sports stars are out there paid HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS in sponsorship from Nike who then make trainers in some backwater phillipino country where they're paid the equivilant of a bowl of rice a day to work 16+ hours a day sewing the clothes so many BLACK sports stars wear?

HOW MANY rappers advocate violence, degrade black women popularize gang culture then go live it up with the social elite whilst using dollar bills to light their cigars while driving gaz guzziling ferrari's paid for off the back of innocents blood in the Middle East?

How many MILLIONS of people have suffered to supply the resources, labour and materials that have been used in Bernards comfrtable llifestyle? Gold from Africa. Diamons. Gas. The Marble for his house. HOW much money has he given Afrcai? WHAT has he done to bring Africa's cause to the masses? HOW has Hopkins helped Latin American debt whilst he enjoys north american luxuries?

You're the worst type of person - a hypocrit. You're the type of person that blames everything on whites. Hates whites. Expects whites to shut up all while you enjoy EVERY ****ING LUXURY that comes with western civilization WHILST proclaiming youyrself MORALLY INNOCENT!

I'm white I live in a small house and pay my way along with everyone else in it and we struggle to make ends meet - **** YOU!

You're a ****ing reverse racist. Good and bad exists in every race and every religeon; NO ONE IS 'CLEAN'

Your WHITE GUILT SCAREMONGERING is oudated horse**** - you are no different to Bernard Hopkins

Word. This sport isn't for publically correct pansies. It's not nearly as decent and thoughtful as other sports and these whiteboy comments are hardly the worst things I've ever heard.

Like when Mayorga said he'd reunite Corey Spinks with his dead mother.. YEESH! It don't get any worse than that!.. and yet even a comment like that gets blown to the side in this sport. Don't cloud boxing with the blanket of PC bull that the rest of the world is covered with, just let it be. You don't like it, then watch a sport which suits you better like golf.

[GTL]

I know he does it to hype fights but shouldnt the guy be more repsonsible?

Wasnt his fan who had brain cancer white? I dont get why he would still say dsirespectful things like that...

Why even bring race into the equation in the first place?

Nobody else does it.

It's what B-Hop does to get into a fighters head, thats it nothing more nothing less. People are reading too much into it, if he was really racist I don't think he would of went over to Pavlik after there fight and told him what he did.

Just like in wrestling, action films tv shows like 24/prison break you need a good guy and a bad guy and Bernrd like Baby Floyd know how to play this role, its all bout the money baby.
