This weekend/the racial thing

"Oh wait, this is the same braindead St0r.mfr0nt imbecile who is trolling up the lounge section as well. Carry on, dirtbag."

Look, i'm bringing up a valid point and i'm not trolling anywhere. What is **********?

[Zano-24]

Oh look, more ****** threads.

I'm not offended by anything Hopkins has said, and over the years he's really made a habit of making things racial.

But yeah I'm offended that if a fighter of any other ethnicity acted the same way, he would be handed his walking papers.

It's the unique situation of being the poorest group in the richest country in the world, the best of both worlds.

To the voiceless third world you're a rich God, to other Americans you're a helpless victim and treating you like an adult is viewed as "mean".

Who is left to scold him? Some guys on a forum.

its cause black people are sensitive so we treat them like kids to be honest.

We dont hold them to the same standard we hold everyone else cause they speak before think and are like lil kids all emotions no logic.

Has a real life troll name as a user name, whom is also apart of the black race.

You either are very sad or just plain sad.

This is my exact point. Its just a bit mind boggling

[MarcoHooker]

He literally says that it's to promote the fight (multiple times) in the Kovalev post-fight

Many people did come out and critizice Hopkins for talking like that, so I think you're being disingenuous. I heard it being talked about at length last night on Box Nation. It still follows him around and he had paid a bit of a price for it. For example, this thread. He has the right to free speech, other white fighters have it as well...you just have to live with your statements.

[Dr Rumack]

Hopkins race-baiting should be condemned. It's poisonous, and there's no excuse in using it to sell a fight.

I don't think black fighters talking in that way is as bad as white fighters talking in that way. The historical context is very different and there's an element of resistance in the black racial narrative that doesn't really apply to 'white' people in the same way.

But it still prolongs the same ****** conversation and it's cheap button pushing to sell tickets. I would associate it more with Don King than anyone else in the sport, and anything most strongly associated with that piece of shit is better off gone.

I get you're trolling and all. But you named yourself after a black guy from the hood which you obviously look up to. Now what kind of logic do you have lol

Real Daylyt- troll god. You-troll peasant

what are you red K members talking about? lol.

seems like you guys are hurt inside because what I said is true so you trying to deflect it elsewhere.

its cool i respect you guys same way I respect children, we all humans.

People need to be more mature about certain things. The fight has come and go, move on and look forward. Not go back to what he or she said to sell a fight. We all know Hopkins history when it comes to hyping up or selling a fight.
