Bernard Hopkins is starting to grow on me.

I honestly feel that whites can be assumed to be racist far easier than a black person and easily lose their jobs for this reason where as a black person can be racist and make certain comments in the workplace and receive no reprimanding due to fear of being accused of being a racist themselves. The NAACP provides protection and backing to African Americans as well as mass media coverage to any incident remotely considered racist towards African Americans and so called "whites" have no such organization.

The President of the United States is African American; his position is the most powerful position in the entire country.

Schools and workplaces are required to ensure a certain ratio of white to "ethnic" races regardless of skill level or merit and this is the truth, not a racist comment.

You are entitled to your opinion but "blacks" actually have the access and means to more avenues that would generate and entitle them to so-called power than whites in the current society that you speak of. If an African American person feels held back, it is not by the white man. I can't get a job and I have a college degree, 3 of them and I put myself through college by borrowing money and making good grades. If someone wants to get a leg up, they work for it like anyone else and don't make excuses.

***** worked to make it through college and put in his time in the political system and now he is the boss of all bosses, you think he wasted his time making excuses or blaming others?

This is not the 60's and times are changing, people who hang on to old ideas get left behind and feel angry at the change. It is much easier and healthier to go with the flow if the changes being made are for the good, wouldn't you agree?

very good post!

The president is not the most powerful man in the country.

He's like the local burger king manager, state your grievances to him, scorn him. but the real bosses work in secret.

the supreme court justices and federal reserve chairman are more powerful than the president.

***** didn't work to do ish, he's royal blood and a master prince hall mason.

You have to understand, working hard and getting through college like you say. There is a ceiling, a company will not allow themselves to be overrun with talented black folks, so under the white supremacy structure there will always be LOTS of black folks left out. Which is why mlk jr was a traitor.

the NAACP was started and funded by ***s, nobody in newark, philly, NYC has seen any NAACP member walk up their block they're totally irrelevent.

NAACP, *****, and the rest promote plantation poli-tricks.

bernard at his best

Yea, I always smile inside when I look back on that statement seeing as how he got owned after publicly saying that. Hopkins is a great fighter to be sure but he is just a racist idiot when it comes down to it. That was proof and his true feelings boiled to the surface when he looked in Joes eyes and saw that defeat was imminent.

I love it. I really loved it when he then beat Pavlik and had the nerve to say he's a 'real' black fighter from the street and cannot be beat by conventional guys more or less after coming off of a loss to Calzaghe.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you dont know ****

You mean he joined Elijah Muhammad...Farrakhan was nothing until Malcolm died...

“This religion recognizes all men as brothers. It accepts all human beings as equals before God, and as equal members in the Human Family of Mankind. I totally reject Elijah Muhammad’s racist philosophy, which he has labeled ‘Islam’ only to fool and misuse gullible people as he fooled and misused me. But I blame only myself, and no one else for the fool that I was, and the harm that my evangelical foolishness on his behalf has done to others.”

Elijah Muhammad was racist(due to the times) but he was a smart man...

And Farrakhan killing Malcolm is bull****...

i think the correct spelling is somewhere in between ferracon and Farrakhan

hopkins is a contradiction for me.
i give him major credit for beating guys like pavlik, tarver, and fighting teh best.
however consider his fight vs calzaghe. he lost, knew has was gonna lose so her ran, he pretended to be hit with dirty shots, he tried to ***** out of that fight. he lost to a white boy, cried throughout teh promotion, and was exposed to not be as good as joe calzaghe. b-hop's was dinfinitely in his prime still, as that fight at 170 was right after he beat the best 175 lber and winky and right before he beat the best 160lber in the world.
but yes hes grown on me from tarver on. most guys would've quit, but he proved he was so much better than that.

Malcolm X wasn't racist...

He was, but he became enlightened on his Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca. It was there that he shed his bigotry and became an advocate for peace and unity.

Yeah, he (hopkins) let his hatred come to the surface there. I bet if he had not been to jail already he would have risked an assault charge by pushing Calzaghe or something because he was pissed. I love how Calzaghe took the high road there.

You're close and I agree with much of your post, but calling MLK a traitor isn't actually accurate because a traitor intentionally undermines his own people. MLK was bamboozeled by organized religion and hoodwinked by ******** in government.

Bhop makes cats respect him. The man is an ageless beast in the ring. And he backs up the **** he talks, which is rare.
