to discount the impact of broner's blackness on the level of hatred he recieves is ignorant. i'm not saying that everybody who doesn't like broner is racist. i am saying that a sturdy portion of the "broner haters" hate him in part because of his race.
this isnt' just a phenomenon of blackness, either. some blacks discredit white fighters, mexicans, asians, etc. some mexicans discredit blacks, asians, whites.
race has an impact on boxing fanbases. to discount that notion is ignorant.
for the purposes of disclosure, i am italian. i get a nice tan in the summer, but i am white.
