Comments Thread For: Teofimo Lopezs racist remarks may prevent the fights he seeks to create

[ELPacman]

When was it officially confirmed that it was Teo that sent it? Wasn't there a video camera they had of who dropped it off and they weren't sure but it may have been from the dude's camp that Davis was fighting?

It's a holdover from slavery.

Light-skinned slav3s were treated better & considered better, smarter, & better-looking than dark-skinned slav3s, so it got built into the community.

It's so r3tarded.

How is calling a dark-skinned Black man a "gorilla" not "attacking our race"???

One doesn't have to be dark-skinned to be called a gorilla. I'm not dark-skinned, but I've been called that, a monster, a beast, ect, because I pump iron. Frazier was a 6-foot, stocky, powerful man. While it's obvious that Ali called him names to get under his skin, to suggest that he was attacking our race as a whole is incorrect.

Okay, what light-skinned Blacks did he call gorillas?

And everything Ali said about Frazier was racially tinged.

He called him an "Uncle Tom", even though Frazier literally helped him financially when he was suspended from champion.

He called him "the white man's champion".

Howard Bryant called him out for it years ago

So much of him lives today, including his darkest side. His worst moments were in his racial cruelty toward rival Joe Frazier. He was quicker mentally, better with words than Frazier, and whether for promotion or mental advantage, he used his better looks and lighter skin to exploit the racial stereotypes that saddle black men everywhere. He knew the implications of calling another black man a "gorilla," and he did it anyway.

Look, I love Ali the fighter, but we have to consider that he had some personality flaws, even as he was doing great things, in & out of the ring.

In all fairness to Ali, all men fall short of the Glory of God.

Expecting him to be flawless is unrealistic, although his short comings were or can be perceived as detrimental to the black community, considering the black community is who he championed for....

I watched a special on Ali vs Frazier years ago. I know about Joe helping Muhammad out after he had been banned. The show mentioned as I said before, Ali resented Frazier for being made America's champion as a vet who served in the Coast Guard during WWII but refused to register for the draft during the Viet Nam War. Nothing happened to Joe, While Muhammad suffered a 3-year suspension. Ali's attacks of Frazier may have been racially tinged, but not as a racist hates someone of a different race. Muhammad treated Joe as if he was a traitor to his race.
