the word negro is used all over the world as the literal translation for the color black.
what kovalev said is probably the russian version of that word. i find it hard to believe kovalev would do a sports interview to be racist.
classic example of pulling the race card at the wrong time.

On NSB it is only acceptable if your racists against African-Americans or those of African descent. You will not get banned and you will not get checked by other posters who are not African American. Those are the rules, it should not be a surprise. Kovalev could come out right now and say he wants to hang his next black opponent, and these cowards would say "it's ok, they hang black people in his country all the time". If you're black, you're the enemy.

It implies that Ginger people are somehow inferior - without the cultural context of the UK / US Slavery and persecution of blacks it becomes a similar thing...You're assuming the same level of cultural sensitivity where that is not the case at all.
Look, over 2 years ago a Russian boxer who no-one knows gets robbed of a KO victory potentially damaging his career. Calls guy who did it the equivalent of 'Black F#cker'. Story gets dragged up 2 years later and boxer naively displays fear of black guys with guns. That sound about right?

The man clearly states that he likes blacks less and less, they're inadequate, purebred n.ggers. And the posters we dialogue with everyday have no problem at all with it. "It's ok, it's only purebred n.ggers in his country".

B-Hop throws down the Puerto Rican Flag, foul.
Floyd say's he gonna cook Manny some sushi, foul.
Kovalev says blacks are inadequate, it's ok in his country.
If you're black, you're the enemy.

Saying he had a bad experience wth a certain group and it effects how he views them is not bigoted. No way, ********** getting mad screaming racism when someone doesn't like someone, what a surprise
There's nothing to defend, people who don't know Russian and are using literal translation and taking things out of context are crying racism

Originally posted by J The UnBiased View PostClassic example of you being a simplistic idiot. You and the rest of you cowards are deliberately ignoring the interview and simply focusing on his use of the word "negro" trying to justify it's universal popularity in the worlds lexicon. That isn't the issue you moron. The man went out of his way to call blacks inadequate and clearly say's that he does not like them. You chose to ignore that. You're choosing to be an imbecile right now.

At 10:40 of the video, I hear him say nigger, not negro.
