And I don't think that makes you a racist. People are just naturally tribal animals that gravitate towards their kind.
Political correctness hasn't been able to breed that out of them just yet.

Exhibit A:
This was very disgraceful and racist. This is one of the reasons why i don't take what ****m seriously when he talks about Floyd making blacks look bad when he is the trainer for Hopkins who makes racist remarks like that.

Originally posted by Championart View PostI agree with you in that it is not entirely a racial thing or as dramatic as a "Jack Johnson" but there is some racial undertones especially in the names you see "anonymous" people on the internet call him. Compare this to other athletes in the sport of boxing who come off as pricks, brag as much or even trash talk more and are more disrespectful e.g Froch, Mayorga and the backlash is different. Now i'm not saying that he doesn't call it upon himself or its all racial but theres some truth to it.
Of course there are. I've seen posters like Solly6 and Them Apples refer to Mayweather as a "monkey". And they get away with it. I've seen posters describe Mayweather as terrible human being, Roger a " crack head",while flaunting their love and support for a drug addicted murderer like Edwin Valero. Of course it's not always a racial thing and I don't think everybody that dislikes Mayweather is a racist. But many of them are and that's just a fact. The element is there and pretty transparent at times here in NSB. Anybody that can't see that is either in denial or just afraid to acknowledge it.

You shouldn't let that diffuse you mate again going back to the human nature point
Floyd is a undefeated Black Fighter who has dominated many Mexicans so naturally many mexicans are going to dislike/feel threatend (I expect an even greater wave of Racism from pinoys if Floyd ends up beating Manny)
Like wise Waldamir Klitscko and Even Joe Calzaghe have dominated many Black Fighters in their time so many Blacks feel threatend by these fighters.....especially in the case of Waldamir....
Right so the conclusion is it's Human Nature a VERY small percentage of us have the ability to think outside the box It's kind of like when someone posts a picture of a hot chick and everyone goes nuts saying "i'd tap that" while a few of us have the ability to not think with our penis' and get back to the boxing.Last edited by Roxas; 04-29-2010, 05:19 PM.

Or acting like a buffoon on national television?
And you're gonna sit there and tell me Roger doesn't resemble a pan handling toothless crackhead?
The same Roger who is on trial for beating up some girl? Or the same one who ran drugs? Oh wait, was that Floyd sr?
GTFO.
