      Why do people always pull the race card, like that's the only explanation for anything?

      My opinion

      it's definitely a part of it.


      the guy you replied to said that there are americans who don't like broner because he's black and brash. jack johnson had it much worse, but part of that attitude toward successful black men still remains.

      ali, tyson, mayweather, all received negative attention in a similar fashion.

        It's not a black thing, it's a jerk thing.
        You just singled out some of the biggest jerks in boxing history regardless of race.

        Furthermore haggler, hearns, Lenard, Joe Louis and hundreds others didn't and wouldn't get this kind of abuse. The difference is they have class and are respectful of others. Nothing to do with race.

          absolute truth.

          But hey, it's a lot easier to use the card and it's been working for so long, why not continue the trend?

                to say that race has nothing to do with it is completely ignorant. it's either ignorant or racist.

                ask those fighters if being black had an effect on them.


                joe louis' popularity with white people really came around only after he beat max schmelling. obviously you understand the global implications of that fight in 1938. those same white people turned him into a side show after his career was over, and during the war.

                to discount the effect of race on the perception of jack johnson is complete ignorance. johnson was viciously hated for marrying a white woman, being wealthy. white men don't get death threats for marrying a white woman. that's racism.

                frazier was seen as a polar opposite of ali, and a more "complacent" black man. that's racism.




                let me guess, holmes vs cooney was one of the biggest fights ever because jerry cooney was a great challenger?

                race has huge implications on boxing, especailly as you go further back in history. it always has, and it probably always will.

                some [ignorant] white people have problems when they see a successful, brash black man.

                  you're harmless, but you're blatantly racist. i can't see how you'd try and assert anything else. that would be an insult to somebody with intelligence.


                  when you talk, you support the notion that racism exists and drives much of boxing. your maniac alt was much worse.

                  hell, you don't even need to talk. you've got your avatars .

                      because race is a big deal in a country founded on slave labor, and whose population in many urban areas [and their boxing gyms] is predominantly black.
