Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins: Black Fighters, We Are Built Differently

[Allucard]

Bernard Hopkins is at it again. During a recent interview with Lem Satterfield of FanHouse/BoxingScene.com, the 45-year-old veteran made some interesting comments reagrding the issue of race, and how it relates to boxing and the big fight between Manny Pacquiao and Shane Mosley, which happens on May 7 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Hopkins made huge headlines in November when he spoke to Satterfield about Pacquiao possibly avoiding African American fighters.

I think that's a little racist. Not when he said we have that because we do, but when he said others don't. Others do too.

With that said, within the last eighty years, since blacks were allowed to compete, who has been the athletes to dominate every sport other than hockey, swimming and tennis? What are the names of the athletes who have transended sports and are known worldwide? What white man has ever held the title of world fastest man, greatest basketball player, greatest football player, greatest boxer, etc?

Wrestling is pretty much dominated by whites, and there have been a lot of great white football, baseball and soccer players.

How do you not see any proof? I suggest you read about the leading Egyptologist over the past century, Cheikh Anta Diop, and the debate over this very subject at UNESCO in 1973.

I dont see any proof because you are not providing anything.

I posted Egyptians drawings from as old as 1200BC that suggest that Egypt was multiracial.
The oldest graves available suggest(from DNA testing) that Egypt was multiracial.

you assured me otherwise and then ask a redundant question with nothing else to back up your point of view.
Im more than willing to listen if it actually makes sense.

I had no idea that telling you to read Chiekh Anta Diop and also the great debate at UNESCO in 1973 was asking a redundant question. Or did you just gloss over that part?

Unfortunately, this doesn't back up this statement you made:

But in all seriousness people out there cant possibly believe people of Africa, had anything to do with modern technology or even a postive role in a first world society.

Please explain how you learned that Africans have no positive role in first world society or modern technology.

Its common sense. You do not want to accept it. Point blank, you dont want to accept it, thats fine I understand. Keep finding loopholes and fighting on. I will say this.

They lead every negative statistic known to man. This is fact. They cant even build themselfs a single decent country but im sure they are the leaders in modern technology. Most of which countries had no black population but im sure they played a role.

lmao @ this bull**** excuse.

the asians didn't even start seriously immigrating to the U.S. until about 50 yrs ago.


Where are they now? Where are the blacks now? IQ wise and socio-economically.



we are only looking at end results. period. not excuses. you idiots seem to have a problem with only seeing the end results in 1 aspect but grappling with all kinds of ridiculous excuses in the other aspect. can you see your own hypocrisy? probably not.

My man, the Asians didn't have to fight for their civil rights, they weren't enslaved, they weren't lynched for looking at white women. But let me guess, you weren't there so that don't matter to you, right? Folks like you will never comprehend.

How can you talk about common sense when you're so ******? Most African countries are barely 50-60 years old. Do you know what the US was doing at those ages? Full of diseases and at the foot of a Civil War. Sound familiar? Furthermore, the contributions of Blacks in terms of technology are too numerous to mention, you can start with Dr. Charles Drew and work your way on down. You're are a piece of work, man

what about blacks all over the world? it's all the same. how do you explain that? africans in europe. asia. australia. wherever they roam.... even in africa itself.


results don't matter it's excuses right?

let me end this by a line from the last great afro-american boxer,

men lie. women lie. #'s don't lie.


now sit down.

Wrestling is not a sport that blacks gravitate to. The sports that we gravitate to are the ones that we dominate.

I'm not denying there aren't a lot of great white players in the sports that you mentioned, but who was known as the greatest in those individual sports?

[amayseng]

then how come DUKE won the ncaa championships with a bunch of


WHITE GUYS?????
