Last Saturday proves majority of boxing fans are Not Racist.

[The plunger man]

Man, the truth is that the racists here are not the white people, the asian people, the latino people. The racist here are those who call anyone else racists all the time. Those who can't support fighters unless they are from their race. Those who shamelessly admit here that they are only here to "support their people". Look at my sig, been saying it since a long ago.

They are the racist. The race issue has been took to the highs here by these people. I never even thought about races in boxers I liked until I came up here and they told me I was a racist because I didn't like Mayweather, Ward, or because I liked Golovkin.

I would say pan africanist, 1 hour run and the real pugilist come to mind in terms of have biased views.....i have cool poster friends from all walks of life...shoulder roll , boxingfan 85 , taste , kafkod and many more ....who cares sabout race ffs i care about great fights and legends of the sport ..simples

What an idiot. We've always been used for their entertainment. As long as we can run, jump, sing, dance, and fight, they're ok with us. But try to move in their neighborhoods and BREXIT!

[thebigbeast]

Actually the British have historically been the most racist, but times have changed.

That's not the case. Black people were never banned from voting in the UK like they were here in the US.

And the UK was the first country in history to abolish slavery.

Wasn't Brexit about the European Union?

It had nothing to do with immigration of people of color.

[Butt stuff]

Not trying to start **** but anyone who says racism isn't an issue in the UK isn't from a "minority" background.

Just after the brexit vote was decided, a friend of mine, who is a black girl and has lived in the U.K. her whole life was told in the street, completely unprovoked, that she "would have to go back from where she came from now". Not to mention all the abuse the Eastern Europeans went through too at the same time.

Tell that to Danny Jacobs; he couldn't get any love in his own backyard.

This reminds of the people who post videos of cops playing basketball with inner city kids and then claim police brutality doesn't exist.

It was great night of boxing for everyone but let's not pretend race issues in boxing is now a thing of the past.

First off I'm speaking in my life time not referencing history.

Obviously it has had its problems but relative to other countries It's not been as bad I mean. Religious intolerance is a different matter and even then its far worse in other parts of the word. In some countries being of a certain religion is a death sentence, talk to me when its ever that bad here.

such as?

And being of a certain religious persuasion, or being suspected of it, can be a death sentence here too. Its only been 12 years since Jean Charles was shot dead like an animal for being a suspected ******. Just a few days ago a woman who was supposedly linked to a terror cell was shot dead and killed, without her day in court. I could go on and on.

Yes we may be better than, say France or the US or Ukraine but that's like sayin testicular cancer is better than penile...they both end damaging you.

We should not be so complacent and so arrogant. With May's *************, the situation is only getting worse here. We're barely 2 years removed from a general election where UKIP won 4 million votes on an ant-non white platform.

You guys need to get your heads out the sand.

[soul_survivor]

Haha beat me to it.

We have had our fair share of race problems and religious tensions in the UK.

Some people should go ask some of the old folks who come over from Jamaica, Granada etc..back in the day, or ask Indian and Pakistani families how they were treated when they arrived. Even the Irish were treated awfully in England at one point.

Exactly.

We're barely a generation removed from signs outside hotels, BnBs and houses that said: No Pakis, No ******s, No Irish, No Dogs.

Oh how easoly we seem to forget.
