    I dream that some day people will be judged on what they do, and skin color will no longer make any difference. I dream that someday, all racism will come to an end, and we can all live together as brothers and sisters.

          Why couldn't people 100 years ago accept Jack Johnson as champion, and why will they not accept Wladimir Klitschko today? Why do people place so much importance on skin color?
          The reason why they couldn't accept Jack Johnson is because of skin color. The Klitchko's are universally known as the heavyweight champions of the world, just because alot of people don't like his style including me doesn't mean that we don't accept him. Personally I wouldn't care if it was a white, or hispanic, or any other race fighter that takes his titles. I'm sick of Wlad's style of fighting but Vitali is a different story....he comes to fight.

            Not unless she's your blood relative.

            I mean "brothers and sisters" in the sense that we're all part of the family of human beings.

              No one other than some of the Klitschko's supporters give a damn about Haye's skin colour.

                    No, people want a black heavyweight champion.

                    If Haye were white, he'd be seen as a joke, and have only a fraction of so many people rooting for him.

                    That's the truth, but I know people don't want to hear it.
