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

[pretty boy_]

It’s very unfortunate that himself, Ryan Garcia and Fat Joe have all decided to become the shame of the Latin X community with their racism against blacks.

This attention whore in particular would do just about anything to get a black fighter to notice him. Even to the point of embarrassing and disgracing himself.

Now tell him to proceed by blowing and sucking off even more black fighter’s cock for a fight. This man lacks both honor and class. The rotten low-life piece of shit!

This is the reason why he doesn’t have any major sponsors to get a career high pay day. He’ll never cross over. I even heard his former wife was into black guys too

Which was the reason why she left him.

Those aren't rumors those are true facts. Common knowledge on the Brooklyn streets is that he used to let multiple superior men have his way with his ex while he diddled his wee-wee in the motel cuck chair. He probly had that silly hat on while doing it Lmao....

[gauze]

this whole time the libs have been screaming that only white people can be racist. teofimo lopez is most certainly, definitely not a white person. nothing to see here folks

[White-Bob]

The truth is, mostly everyone in the world loves blac.k African...Caribbean Afric.ans..it's the Afr.ican American the world hates. Rightfully so..call me what ya want but prove me wrong..Teo is fed up..bla.ck Americans walk in a room and feel like they are owed praise. Say something u don't agree with and ur racist..fuc.k them..Teo ain't no racist, black women are beautiful!! He's from NY he's been with a few I bet..but we the commoner..African..white..chinese.american are tired of bla.ck Americans..they are like women raised by women..

Now writers are bringing racial politics into boxing, calling Teofimo racist. Probably white ******* writers trying to stir something up.

There is no such thing as the “Latin X community” and there never was.

But then tank Davis can come out with the Mexican sombrero walking into the ring, which is racist. Stephen Fulton doing the same thing. Terrence Crawford can tell Jose benavidez jr that he’s gonna “beat the burritos out of him”. Devin Haney can be in record saying “I’ll never lose to a white boy” and this clown writer Owen Lewis won’t have problems with those guys..BOXINGSCENE won’t also question or say those guys might have trouble getting the fights for being “racist” . These mfs and their double standards

This new generation is so soft. You have completely redefined the word “racism.” Racism is the belief that one sub-species (race) is genetically superior to another. It is not racist to wear clothes of a different culture or listen to their music or eat their food. That is silly. It is not even racist to dislike or disparage another culture, it’s music, it’s food, it’s clothing, etc. To believe that one culture is superior to another is not racism, but rather ethnocentrism. Some people dislike baggy pants, hip-hop music, Low riders, Cutlass Supremes with 30-inch rims, mariachi bands, kimchi etc. and that’s perfectly fine and honest.

Although I do agree with the sentiment of the generation being soft, by definition, Teofimo's actions are considered racist. Why? Because one of the acts against a person based on their color or race that falls under the definition is antagonism. Now I don't recall that always being the case with the definition, but it definitely is there now. Teofimo's antics are based on antagonizing possible opponents with words against/downplaying the opponent's race/color. So, though I think the definition has changed over time to include antagonism, it does indeed include that now.

To be clear, I was not defending Teo. My post was in response to the guy above who argued that it was racist for black fighters to wear sombreros (and similar). I do believe the entire world is obsessed with race and racism to the point that they cannot stomach the most minor criticism of any group. I do believe that racism will exist all the way up till the last two people on the planet are left, so I have no expectation that anything that anyone does or tries to impose will change the way people feel about each other. Human beings are hardwired to hate the differences in others.
