Who will be the next Great Black Hope after Haye?

[BritishFightFan]

This "reverse racism" was even worse before the internet and the obvious biases against white fighters couldn't be challenged. There were very few great Caucasian fighters during the 70's and 80's and the few that were great or really good were always discredited by the boxing writers as a "white hope/dopes" when they got a large following or really successful. The "white hope" BS still goes on in the American media when an American white fighter is successful as was seen with Tommy Morrison, Joe Mesi etc.

Now the media and many message board posters have picked up their new mantra to discredit all the great Eastern European Caucasian fighters now that they're ruling many divisions especially the heavyweights. The new mantra for the reason/excuse for all the European success and lack of American success in boxing right now is because all the best American (presumably they mean black) boxers are playing in the NFL and NBA... The NFL and NBA were just as black in the 70's and 80's so the ridiculous theory doesn't hold water IMHO and is a bigoted excuse. The reason for the success of former USSR fighters is because they're hungrier than most American fighters, have a more extensive amateur background and also the majority of Eastern Euro's stay in tremendous shape, unlike most current American fighters, IMHO...

It is quite clear that the media (or whoever runs it) does not particularly like White men, but then again nor does my government, or whoever runs them.

Two years ago I applied to train to be a Police Officer for the Met Police in London and I was told that applications from White men had been 'banned' for five years. They call it 'positive discrimination' over here.

Either way, we need to stop whining like bitches about the perceived racial bias that we have to endure and just do all we can to overcome it succeed in life.

pmsl at the notion that David Haye is black!

He is as black as the biracial politician Barack *****, who was of course raised entirely by the White side of his blood family.

Strangely enough, Tiger Woods is only 1/8 African-American, but the media refers to him as black. Of his eight great-grandparents, four were Asian, two White, one Native American and one Black.

there's no such thing as a great black hope.

"Great Black Hope" ?

lol ?

I think someone has completely missed the point of the term "White Hope".

Well, what else can we expect from such a pathetic person, who has been exposed going on "White Supremacist" websites. It's probably the only place where such weak and simple minded people fit in.

All racism is the same, IT'S ALL BAD, whether it's white prejudice against blacks, Zionist racism against ************, or a Pakistani like Minion hating all white people.

There's nothing wrong with being proud of whatever race you are, and defending your people, as long as you don't hate others who are different than yourself.

[Pullcounter]

how about focusing on boxing rather than race?

[Ben_London.]

That's what I'd like to see YOU do, Pullcounter. You hate every white fighter. Why can't you judge people on what they do, instead of race? Your prejudice against white boxers is obviously the motivation for almost every comment you make.

says the racist who always tries to bash and discredit successful white fighters.
