Comments Thread For: Oscar De La Hoya Files Cease-and-Desist Letter With Canelo Alvarez

When a large group of people, let's say they call themselves "***s," live in a region on the planet, let's say they called it "Israel," and their land is conquered by other groups of people, and they are dispersed among other regions of the planet, are they still allowed to call themselves "***s," even though they live in Russia, Poland, and Germany? Does anyone ever say Hitler killed millions of "Germans" in the Holocaust?

I don't understand your post.
The tragic irony is that **** Germany didn't care if the ***s considered themselves so assimilated that they only ever referred to themselves as Germans, not "German ***s".
I'm a *** and an American. A proud *** by heritage, tradition, and lineage but 100% American by birth and nationality, and I never hyphenate that.

The question is, is it OK for citizens of Germany, Poland, and Russia, to refer to themselves as ***s, even if they never lived a day in Israel? Even if their Grandparents never lived a day in Israel?

Is it OK for citizens of Germany, Poland, Russia, or the USA for that matter, to call themselves Christians?
Even if they never lived a day in the Vatican?

[A.B Counterhooks]

Incorrect. There are borders for a reason and those borders have been well defined and established and those not living within said established borders are not American.

I think he ment it the full continent as a whole not just USA, technically we all Americans since we all live in this beautiful continent, also its not like there is another way to call US citizens, like we call Canadians, Mexicans, Argentinians etc, so thats why we generally address people borned in US soil as americans.

Can we be done with this please?

But do you have a problem with the thousands who do hyphenate their ethnicity, or refer to themselves as "***ish?"

Yes, it is OK. I don't see a problem with that.

I find it mildly irritating in most cases but I don't make a capital case out of it even if I don't agree. There are more disturbing and immediate threats brewing domestically (*****-supporting bigots and rioters on campuses) and around the world (Iran, China, Russia) that make it pretty easy to back-burner semantic quibbles.

Some people in America are very litigious, suing for anything.

Oscar may have a point, but Canelo would not have said anything had the former not started the smack talk at the press conference.

I like both guys, iconic fighters, can't they just get along, and if not, then don't talk about each other.

And no, Canelo's career has not plateaud since being a free agent, pretty much.

1942….2024…..see the difference?

———-
You left out a whole lotta carnage between 1942 and 2024 but let’s correct that

1955-1975: Vietnam war: 3.1 million non-white people dead.
1980-1989: Iran-Iraq War: 1 million dead in a US orchestrated proxy war

2003: Invasion of Iraq: Two million brown people dead.
2014 - 2024: Yemen Civil War: 500,000 brown people dead. Guess who is behind this war?

Then there are the global US orchestrated, backed, financed and even led wars that you seem to ignore, whitewash, or not care about.

Cambodia

The genocidal rule of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, which seized power from a US-backed military regime and went on to kill a fifth of the population – two million people. Cambodians had been driven into the hands of the communist movement by Kissinger and Nixon’s carpet-bombing campaign, which killed hundreds of thousands of people. To this day, people are still dying from unexploded US ordinance.

East Timor

In 1975, Kissinger greenlit President Suharto of Indonesia’s invasion of East Timor, a former Portuguese colony moving towards independence. During a visit to Jakarta, Kissinger and Ford told Suharto, a brutal dictator and close ally in the battle against communism, that they understood his reasons, advising him to get it over and done with quickly. The next day, Suharto moved in with his US-equipped army, killing 200,000 East Timorese.

There is more. If you have any interest, here is a source that gives you 10 conflicts that we were directly and proudly involved with.

There is a reason I used Al Jazeera source and if you respond, hopefully respectfully, I’ll enlighten you some more.

No, they won’t. Because the hate America first crowd (as is evidenced all over the country) still use the same playbook. Don’t condemn *********s, Israel made them behead and burn babies and **** women. You won’t see them condemn and speak poorly of the *********s. But the ***s on the other hand…..

Once again you history starts when YOU believe it starts. In this case, it starts in October 7th, 2023. The rest is just a fictional account of hateful people.
