should boxers be taking the knee before fights?

solidarity with what?

a bunch of race baiting marxists

*** protests have done NOTHING for the black community, just enriched a handfull of cretins.

Complete bullsh**. The only blacks who don’t get on with whites are racists and vice versa. There’s no issues between whites and blacks aside from the ones the racists create. I’m f***ing sick of all this subliminal racism and triggery sh**. People need thicker skin. All races are granted equal constitutional freedom in the modern world, race is completely irrelevant nowadays, yet people seem desperate to make it relevant.

Half of these kids have never experienced real racism in in their lives too. I grew up in Toxteth in the aftermath of the race riots were blacks and whites stood side by side in fighting inequality. I used to walk past pubs and social clubs that literally said No Blacks, No Irish, No Dogs on the doors. The world has moved far, far past that sort of segregational BS but it’s almost like some of you want those divisions to re-emerge.

A lot of garbage here. Doesn't represent the reality on the ground. There's no true equality. Screw the whiteman's constitution.

How’s there no equality? What opportunities aren’t available for non-whites nowadays?

I’m a mixed race kid from a working class background who achieved good grades, got a well paid job, started my own businesses. The only people who cry about equal opportunity are the losers who would rather blame “the system” than take responsibility for their own shortcomings.

You’ve probably never faced any real racial prejudice in your life. Just another kid trying to be edgy and “woke”.

when done correctly at the right moment, taking the knee is an incredibly powerful statement in the fight against racism.

I think fighters of different races/ethnicities punching the sht out of each other, then shaking hands and hugging after the fight is already a powerful enough statement in the fight against racism.

That's a real gesture, not a fake one like taking a knee.

Racial war is more likely in the US than true unity.

Not at all. The vast majority have no issues with race. Look how far race relations have developed over the last 50 years.

You live in fantasy. Did you interview the vast majority of African Americans? People are fed up of white racism and oppression in every facet of life.

What would have happened if a black irishman with a dog walked in?

to show solidarity in the fight against racism, and to commemorate the life and times of George Floyd.

[Split Decision]

That’s my biggest issue with these incidents. The media always make it about race. It’s always the black guy shot the white kid or the white policeman killed the black man when in reality the race is irrelevant to the crime.

Take the Floyd incident for example, that should have been described as an incident between a police officer and a former convict. Yet instead it’s always referred to as an incident between a white man and a black man. Why should that even be relevant? Chauvin should get charged with murder regardless of his race and what race he killed.

Says he doesnt want politics in boxing then posts about politics lmao gr8 stuff m8
