Why are people still defending Kovalev's racist comments?

[mathed]

Why are Kovalev/GGG Fans, Hopkins/Ward haters still defending the racist comments Kovalev made? He said the N word and he's getting a pass? WTF is happening to boxing. He needs to know that that word isn't okay to use by ANYONE that isn't African American.

Are his "fans" getting exposed as racist by defending him this hard?

To be honest for African Americans to refer to themselves using that word even in casual talk is a disgrace as well. The word has no positive connotation at all and should not really be acknowledged or used by any group.

It only leaves the argument open that it's acceptable to use it because the group that it is supposed to be offensive to, uses it to describe themselves. So why or how can you be offended by it when others use it?

I don't like the word or use it but anyone wanting to use the word could argue that it's hypocritical to be upset by its usage.

Words have the meaning you give them the N word here is a hate filled word derogatory word that was used by slavers and because of the fkd up past of it and slavery race is a very sensitive issue here. In most of the world there is no " that word" people just call white people white black people black and saying black isn't seen as racist is just the color of your skin just as it is white there is nothing demeaning or derogatory about it .
