"the great black hope"

[Pin Galarga]

I think the race card is been played too much and consequently loosing value. I have grown up hearing the term "White Hope" and if it wasn't racist then, saying "Black hope" is not today.
Less stop with the crybaby sht.

I'm not saying is smart, all I'm saying is that it sounds dumb when we call it racism today.
Smart or dumb.

I agree it's a double standard. Funny thing is I doubt the black HW's back in the day cared about race when they were fighting. Its self hating white ******** and racist ***s that poked fun at great white hope fighters failing. But now that we have the klits, they just shrugg it off as " hey well the division is weak"

And I know a lot of black boxing fans and they don't root for only blacks.

So in conclusion the haters are all self hating white ******** and racist ***s.

^^^ This the TS is an ignorant race baiting racist.

I don't understand how it's a contradiction when the people who coined the term are now into their 50's and 60's

That generation of boxing has long gone, racism was more acceptable back then. I figured it had died down a bit but if you want to keep using racial terms thats fine.

The phrase "great white hope" was coined by whites themselves you idiot lmao
