Kovalev apologizes for tweet.

[Dindu_Nuffin]

blacks make the same observations amongst other blacks and that's somehow acceptable.

the truth is not all black people resemble monkeys or apes. stevenson just happens to look like one. hell even people from other races can look like one. have y'all seen nick nolte?

Hahah, yes, exactly! His skin color has nothing to do with it - hell, monkeys/chimps have pink/white skin ayway.

It's his facial features, and structure. If you deny him looking like some sort of monkey, you are delusional.

So kovalev should or shouldn't apologize, because Floyd or Hopkins did or didn't?

He did something to offend one person, and ended up offending a bunch of others, by mistake, if you believe him, so he did what a stand-up guy does, and he apologized. Accept, or not, and move on.

Now if he's a racist prick, and/or just doesn't give a ***, then he shouldn't apologize....

no, you're missing the point of my comment, it had nothing to do w/ the apology itself, it's just that certain posters here and certain channels on youtube are crying about kovalev being racist, but didn't give two ****ing ****s about floyd, bhop or taylor's racist comments

it's a victim agenda that backfired when someone like myself points out the inconsistency in their argument

rekt

[Dindu_Nuffin]

Hahaha that is LUCY! The first "human-like" primate we have fossilized.

Spot on here.

Adonis' skin color is not what makes him look like a primate - it's his skull structure, and facial features!

[VicariousVice]

are the russians the n***** of europe?

No, that would be the Irish.

[General STRUGG]

stop deflecting!!!

you're right, this is the Only Kovalev can be a racist thread. nothing to do with BHOP, alexander, floyd, etc.

[ИATAS]

And this is another thing that pisses me off. Just because it doesn't bother YOU don't mean that other folks shouldn't get "worked up". I live in a racist state, city and deal with racists frequently, a lot of which is online. It pisses me off to be called a monkey/****** and see other black folk called monkeys/******s and then we're told to " get over it". To hell with that nonsense. I don't operate in such a manner.

And you want to talk about "trivial"?

Please.

Hopefully you didn't get too worked up over it. Didn't seem like he had any racism intended behind it, not much different than the millions of these:



Just poking fun at Stevenson. Either he himself or someone else pointed out to him people may be offended since Stevenson is black and there is a history obviously in the US of racism against blacks and he deleted tweet, apologized. Kovalev is from Russia. They don't have the same history of racism of blacks as the US. They never had slavery. There is no word for "******" or anything like that. A harmless joke in Russia culture (saying someone looks like a monkey) doesn't have the same racial implications as in the US of calling a black man a monkey. That isn't to say there isn't racism in Russia, of course there is especially since the fall of the Soviet Union and emergence of Right Wing groups. But Kovalev has a black trainer, black friends and looks to me as if he was simply ignorant on his diss of Adonis. I wouldn't take it any more than that.

what would a 100 year old know doe

sit down gramps.

[Dindu_Nuffin]

making a racially insensitive comment about someone doesn't make it OK if you yourself don't find it offensive, you have to put yourself into the shoes of someone else who finds it offensive

Bullshyte. If that was the case - just about anythng said could offend someone.

Grown ass men getting butthurt over another man being compared to an animal he looks exactly like!

[John Barron]

Hahah, yes, exactly! His skin color has nothing to do with it - hell, monkeys/chimps have pink/white skin ayway.
