They're plenty of black people that don't know what a Golovkin let alone if he's a boxer or not. This guy obviously has his own biases but prefers to deflect it on to black fans rather than admit it.
On the subject of whether black people can be racist, I suppose in very rare circumstances that could be true but more than likely are not. Let me know when you have blacks arbitrarily taking away other people's basic rights, subjecting others to segregation and "apartheid", brutality, incarceration, and unfair housing practices.

Originally posted by Freedom. View PostI remember going to a fight in the USA and there was a black fighter from the UK fighting a local white guy. The black fans around me were all rooting for the foreign black guy. Why was that?
I remember in Toronto during the winter Olympics, several black people I worked with were rooting for an American black girl to defeat a Canadian white girl. Why was that?
Originally posted by Freedom. View PostA white guy from Maine might notice that GGG is an courageous and EXCITING fighter who doesn't clinch or run, and doesn't beat up women or childishly brag about being the TBE. GGG has class and good manners.
Or maybe a white guy from Canada might root for Kovalev because he's an exciting fighter. And perhaps that white guy from Canada can relate to Sergey, because he's someone who grew up in a place witha harsh cold climate and little opportunity, someone who overcame a lot to get where he is. And like the white guy from Canada, he's a good decent honorable man who loves his wife and child.

Originally posted by KingHippoThey were idiots. Or they might be racist.
It's hypocritical to call someone a racist for supporting Kovalev and other white boxers, while saying it's okay for black boxing fans to support only black boxers.
I used to support black athletes as a youth, but because of my life experiences (including with racist blacks on boxing websites) I will never do so again. I know if I were a pro boxer, people like KingHippo, Larryx and nubianpiye would be against me. I will support any other race: Mexican, Asian, Eurasian, as long as they are courageous and exciting boxers. But I'll never support privileged, racist, mouthy, spoiled, childlike, arrogant, ill-mannered athletes like Mayweather.

Originally posted by Freedom. View PostYou are much more racist than I am, you don't like anybody who isn't black like yourself. But somehow you believe it's okay for a black person to be racist.
In fact I know for a fact you have been BANNED for making racial comments. I have never been banned. I've never made racist comments. I root for fighters of all races. You think anytime someone roots against a white fighter, they are a racist. You are a child who thinks everything on this site boils down to race. You have no perspective. You know why? Because you are clearly a racist race baiter.Last edited by Kagami Taiga; 09-01-2016, 04:41 PM.
