    cheers for the insult but your right and wrong. race isn't as simple as white and black its the catigorization of people using heritable characteristics. skin colour is just one of those chaacteristics. ***ish people through thousands of years of development ARE a race. white and black ARE NOT.

        They called fighters that were white dopes, because they never downplayed the race angle, and sometimes embraced it.

        Do you see Haye rolling with the black panthers?

              David Haye had a white mother and a black father, same as Barack *****.

              Mike Tyson had a white grandfather, and Cassius Clay had a white great-grandfather. George Foreman said about half of his heritage is white because both his parents were mixed.

                Why do people in the media (and also the celebrities themselves) completely ignore the white parent of a mixed race person and act like they're 100% black?

                They're also usually raised by the white parent. Ignoring half your heritage/parent as I've seen so many do is pretty damn disrespectful IMHO...

                  Don't you mean propect or title contender. Haye is my pick right now, if he fails then Alexander Dimitrenko will proberbly be my favourite to pick up a title.

                    Some people are brainwashed by the media/entertainment industry into believing it's "cooler" to be black.

                    It's a kind of reverse racism, and has been going on for 60 years now. I like old movies from before that time that don't usually portray the white people in a negative way.

                      So they try to make ***** seem cooler because his father was black? It seems more like they act as though he is tainted. Either way you are wrong.
