Hopkins being racist again on espn last friday

[fordhamboxing]

He's still a ****ing idiot. That's not going to give anyone a superior genetic code. You're born with what you're born with. I believe that what *he* believes he's talking about are 'acquired traits'. Genetics just don't work like that. He's a racist prick. He can euphemize and sugar coat and do whatever the hell he has to do to make what he's saying appear more palatable to him, but what he's saying is that one set of people are superior to another set.

Yeah, I get it doesn't change your DNA, obviously.

BUT

I gotta tell you, I grew up in Queens and once I started getting into trouble and after we had some major incidents in the neighborhood my parents moved me out to the suburbs since we came across money (long story). I have to say that, not just with fighting, but with almost everything I've found city kids to be more competitive. Those who have gone to school aren't as book smart as suburban kids, but they hustle their asses off to end up getting a job. Driving, shopping, working, I mean in every way I've noticed how much more driven the city kids I know are than the suburban kids. Not to mention having a TON more common sense. This is my experience at least, maybe not everybody's had this but I know I have.

So I get what he was saying, I don't think he literallymeant growing up in the city changes your DNA, I think he meant it in the sense that it affects the character of the person and, I gotta tell you, I agree with him in that sense

Some good boxers came out of the suburbs but mostly I agree too. The thing is, if bhop actually lived in the hood again he would realize whites and latinos also live their.

Calzaghe came from the hills....

I know exactly what you're talking about (re: city kids vs. suburban).

City folks are normally more aggressive, street smart and no nonsense than their suburban counterparts.

That's not racist.

I just find it funny that when a black guy says something/anyting pertaining to race he's a RACIST.

Yet you can login to just about any social media site on the net (youtube, facebook, worlstar,pwned, etc...) and you'll see comments and videos filled with racist comments towards blacks.

Every single day (on this site as well) I read MONKEY this and APE that and ****** CRACKHEAD this and WELFARE RAT that.

I never see anyone outside of BLACKS getting upset. Why is that?

Yet Bernard Hopkins can make some underhanded remark about race and WHITES are ready to lynch the guy.

The double standard still exists...

[BillyBoxing]

i dont understand why in 2011 anyone even looks at the color of peoples skin instead of just goin by their character..color is irrelavent imo

Not for Tunney and all his alts.

Not for Bernard Hopkins obviously...

[Kingdelboxeo]

IMO i think blacks get a pass on the racism stuff they are still stuck in the slave mind
im not trying to be an ass but like alot of people say when whites say it its racism and when blacl people say it they get a pass.. i think it should be equal both ways... but thats america for you

[studentofthegam]

Hopkins is actually racist though, he probably wouldnt even deny it. Its only because he is black that he gets away with it

If Joe Calzaghe said ' I'll never be beaten by a black man' - the whole world wouldve gone crazy.

Equality is equality

Hopkins, although a great fighter, is a downright c*nt at the same time

Nope. different strokes for different folks because Im black and would not have had a problem with him going tit for tat with Bernard because it was a silly statement by Bernard that turned out to be false anyway.(kinda)

You're no better than KKK members then

You're a racist too so what are you yappin about. Dark Italian that doesnt even know his history. Shut the *** up on this topic. Now you're tryna act like Ghandi?

here's a sad truth:....white folks got away with a lot of racist **** in the past........now, it's the balck folks getting away with racist **** towards everybody ..... it's almost like black folks are more racist than the white men in the past.....

Yeah right. When was the last time black people murdered thousands of whites or any other race under the umbrella of the law. Yall want to forget and we wont ever forget. My grandmother scrubbed floors for whites that referred to her as ****** and colored as if they were "clear". I dont want any sympathy for her because she was way strong but the point is those same people she worked for raised kids who raised kids with the same values. Everybody can on here and play Jesus if they like but I'll just be human. Racism has never been nonexistent and will never be nonexistent. If you feel guilty when race comes up then its something you need to change about you. I prefer rednecks that are unapologetic. Them I can deal with. Its the one's that feel guilty and get angry that bug me. You bring any man to a foreign place and start them out 400 yrs behind there is no way to fix it or forget it in 50 yrs. Fear will always keep racism alive against blacks. What all you peaceful people dont want to hear is that blacks have been feared for no reason at all for centuries. Thats true of no other race or better than that shade of human beings. Just sayin.

D*ckheads like u are the 1's that should get shot by police instead of the good black brothers that get targeted cuz of their skin color. I wouldn't feel bad if a white cop put 6 in a moron like u.

There you go wishing death on a man you dont know. But you're a better person. You lost your whole stance by siding with wrong. You do know Camacho was a racist right? Classic.....Classic racist lines.

Only one race ever had a licsence to kill in America. Remember that. I aint gonna lie. Im bitter and it makes me more upset when black people say its a thing of the past. Its definitely a thing of today. The work is done because we have surely been conditioned to hold each other back now. No need for sheets and night rides now. Hell of a plan huh?

[Rosseboi]

No doubt,i wish i could be myself on this board but i know i`ll get banned and the same people who say racist **** about blacks are allowed to roam the Message boards like their Gandhi.

So you're basically saying you feel inferior otherwise you wouldn't be having these racial issues.

**** there's a black president voted in by a whites and still you find reason to be prejudiced?

I could go on about this all day but it's like ice skating uphill and so utterly pointless.

[studentofthegam]

That is why I don't respect him anymore. He is on some reverse racism ****. First he says McNabb isn't black because he doesn't act ignorant. Now he is doing some reverse **** bullshyt.

Fuck Bernard Hopkins.

Yeah I think its silly the way he comes at McNabb. McNabb is a chump IMO but it has nothing to do with race but more to do with being a man standing up for himself. If he wants to talk race then go Tiger Woods, Micheal Jordan and Lebron James who never have a stance on any real issues in fear of losing sponsor and an endless supply of money. Kareem, Jim Brown and B. Russell can rightfully look down on them.
