Stop using Boxing as a Proxy Race War

[Ray*]

I'm black and I just can't get down with that kinda **** anymore. Back in the Joe Louis or Ali days when we were treated as second class citizens and less than human with few opportunities and poor representation I could understand it, but now? Nah. I'll cheer for whomever the fucc I want because sports shouldn't be about race. The Nationalism is pretty bad too.

Can give anymore Green K today, 24 hours and i would for this excellent post...This post goes for every poster in any boxing forum or any boxing fan.

floyd fans love to play that game. Let em have it.

Only Floyd fans? Are you sure about that?

Haha yeah that sentence was a bit drawn out, maybe could have split it into two

Yeah but I get ya. Im totally random when I see two guys on Friday Night Fights or whatever: I just grab onto something mentally like "I like his trunk color" or "The other guy looks like a jerk" when it comes to picking a guy to root for.

If your race/nationality is what your brain says to choose I cant fault ya for that. I got Dejan Zaveck (A Slovene like me) in my sig.

This is 2010. Get over the racial bull**** and get behind a guy because you like what he does in the ring.

You're the same mothafuccers that get mad when you see an interracial couple out and about. If you had a girl of your own would it matter? Nope. It only matters to lonely losers.

Same thing with Boxing. You can't fight so you can only cheer for a guy that looks similar to you to win. That way you can feel a false sense of personal victory. Guess what?! You haven't won **** homie!

real talk!!!!

This board is getting damn near unreadable. This is the Mods fault. You guys need to do a better job of policing these boards.

Honestly all race and nationality threads should be deleted. But they've been allowed to go on for so long it'd take a major shift in what was allowed.

It seems some would like to attach that fighter to them since he is of same racial colour/descent. Boxing is diverse, we shouldn't support fighters based on their skin colour, this is just plain silly. I'm a big fan of all boxers, to the blackest, to the whitest, from Tarver to Pavlik, it really doesn't bother me. You know what im sayin?

ignorance can't be battled with reasonable arguments. The easiest way it to ignore them and they fade away

It's sad when we can't discuss boxing on a boxing board anymore without every thread degenerating into some inferiority complex racial garbage. Yeah. I'll just have to come back when this crap has cooled off.
