Comments Thread For: Hopkins Rips Philly For Racially Motivated Disrespect

[boxingsupreme87]

White, Black, Asian, or Latino, it really doesn't matter what you are. If you are unable to conclude that a fictitious movie character getting a statue over Joe Frazier is blasphemous then you probably hold some underlying deep hatred in your heart as well. What BHOP said was nothing but truth and fact. Those arguing otherwise have nothing really to counter, they're just upset that a 50 year old Black man is still this deep in the game.

BHOP has every right to state his opinion and if you don't like it, too bad.

Nice guys finish last

The fact Broner is more popular than Ward says it all

Society celebrates the ignorant

Broner is active Ward isn't, big difference.

Im not even gonna waste my time responding to anymore of your nonsense as you clearly are reading straight from the official "justifiable homicide" police handbook . Your post r replicating the EXACT same verbiage that police union representatives spew when they get on TV and attempt to justify another white police officer murdering another unarmed black citizen .

No, just go and justify criminal behavior and that it's ok to do as one pleases and ignore justice officials because they're not over you are they

Just piss off

You got more holes in your story then a block of Swiss cheese. But I will agree that the cop that shot that poor fellow in South Carolina should be put away and should never get out. That was murder.

I also believe that it is an absolute insult to anyone that has ever worked in law enforcement to make such a ridiculous statement that the knucklehead known as George Zimmerman is or was in anyway shape or form an officer of the law. I personally believe he got away with murder only because he murdered the only witness.

As for the two that were shot with toys guns. It is obvious that the officer who shot the young boy should have never been a police officer. But unlike you I am not convinced that they were shot because they happened to be black.

I believe it had more to do with the fact that they had what was thought to be weapons. And if I was a betting man I would bet the house that there have been plenty of white folks that have been killed in the same way. But that really wouldn't matter to you now would it?

I don't understand why you would even bring up the case in St. Louis? That is unless you have information that is unknown to the general public. Because forensic evidence proved that VonDerrit Myers was killed during a firefight with a police officer. He fired at the officer three times, was the officer supposed to wait until he got shot to return fire?

By the way you listed seven not eight and I truly truly do not care what you think about me. Simply because it has absolutely no bearing in my life. And once again when someone asks anything about young black males killing each other in historic numbers there is no response, why is that? Now you can back to playing the race card like you have been doing since day one when you joined the forum.

In my initial post I mentioned cops and vigilantes , clearly Zimmerman represented the latter . As far as the forensic evidence in the Myers case is concerned , Dr . Michael Graham who's the police dept medical examiner stated clearly that Myers DNA wasn't on the gun he allegedly fired . He then stated that had he been carrying the gun , it WOULD have his DNA on it . Why are u so eager to accept a cop/police dept's official narrative when (since dash cams) we've SEEN constant attempts at cover ups to doctor up the scene and story , is beyond me ? Stop hiding behind cynical justifications of racist police homicide , because eventually this unadvertised and hyper-militarized police state we now live in will swallow your dumb azz too . It doesn't matter that u maybe white , it only starts at the bottom of the socioeconomic totem , but surely will attempt to swallow all of us whole eventually . Wake the f..k up and stop being complicit in your own demise ! As far as black on black violence is concerned , no one is avoiding an opportunity to explain it to u , it's just that this forum is not the proper venue for that particular discussion as its a fairly long one . But since u care so much about the topic (lol) , u can start by reading Amos Wilson's book entitled ; Black-On-Black Violence: The Psychodynamics of Black Self-Annihilation in Service of White Domination.

but I thought philly was full of black folk?

It is. Plus if you go to any local fights, it's over 50% blacks. Most white people I know from the city don't even care about boxing, not sure where BHop is making this huge assumption from unless it's racially motivated itself. He thinks media = white people opinions.

They need to put up a statue of Fresh Prince before Hopkins.

I have never watched Rocky movie, but I know Bernard Hopkins is a living boxing legend, and kudos to him for living a straight life amidst all the money, fame and bad women.

"I listed 8 black people who all but 1 were confirmed murders of white officers shooting down black citizens." Those are your words not mine and why am I not surprised that you tried to pass off your mistake on someone else? As for that police officer in St Louis did they press charges against him? No, they did not.

I also must be at the bottom of that totem pole you speak of because 30 or so years ago I was the victim of police brutality, it was a day that changed my life forever.

What happened? Five white police officers whooped my a$$ and why? Because I had long hair and a Harley t-shirt on and they perceived me as a threat. There wasn't much more to it and I was as innocent as the day is long.

That happened on a public street and it happened once again behind the closed doors of the police station. It took a very long time to get over it and someways I still haven't. However, overtime my feeling began to change.

It actually really began to change when I went into the US Army. I actually worked with and around police officers. From that experience I learned that not all cops were the redneck a$$holes that I thought they were.

Therefore I could no longer condemn all police officers because of a few bad apples. Just as I refuse to condemn all blacks or ******s for the actions of a small percentage within each group.

With all that said. To say that police brutality isn't a real concern would be an absolute lie. But what bothers me the most is when it keeps being made into a racial issue. I know from first experience that it isn't and I still have the scars to prove it. All I can say is that I had to learn to deal with it because the hatred would have consumed me alive if I had let it.

Just a thought in closing. Last year there were sixty police officers murdered in the line of duty within the United States. How many people do you believe went out and protested their deaths?

Bernard calls a city with lots of black boxing fans racist against him then takes jabs at other black fighters for stereotypes about having too many kids and being on drugs... I can't even tell if I agree with him or not because it seems like he has ADHD and rants about 3-4 different issues at once.

But i have ADHD too so this is pretty cool:
