Anthony Joshua Responds To Racist Aligations

I like how you've had to bring up a bunch of other boxers in order to give what Joshua said a pass.
We are discussing what Joshua said and what Joshua said alone. Pointing out what other fighters have done/said is a completely different conversation/thread.
When you are talking about 'the superior black race' you by very definition subscribing that other races are inferior to that race. That's racist. Just turn it around and see what sort of blowback a white fighter would get if they said they are 'the superior white race.' They would cop a lot of **** for it, and rightly so. Racism is racism whichever way you cut it.
I've long suspected that the public image of Joshua is somewhat manufactured. he was a scumbag drug dealer before and just because he has become a successful fighter doesn't mean his personality has necessarily changed. I'm looking forward to seeing the facade crumble and find out what sort of dude AJ truly is. We might be treated to a Mike Tyson car wreck over the next few years which would be awesome
I'm not that offended by what he said i think it's dumb but whatever. I'm also not a Joshua fan (nor do I dislike him) I don't care enough for the heavyweight division to feel strongly enough. I just think he's better than Wilder who I consider a bum. Doesn't mean you have to be a "fan". I think Spence beats the crap out of Thurman I'm not a Spence fan for that.Last edited by chrisJS; 11-17-2017, 10:56 PM.Comment

They mean the same thing. Empowerment of a race. You want your cake and eat it too. If a person is proud to be black, so should a white person. If you don't want them to be proud to be white, neither should black people. You personally didn't face slavery nor the Jim Crow era.Comment

Not giving him a pass I'm just stating it's funny how the one poster (and a number of others) who are up in arms over something they live by (black is better) yet worship and defend actions like women beaters, sexists, racists, ****phobes and fighters who go back on their words to help others.Comment

I agree. But he's no more of a "scumbag" of other fighters I mentioned who beat women, traumatized young children (beating their moms), say hateful things about other races and are intolerable of others choices. Or a guy that used a young mans injury to promote his show and then not follow trough.

Where is the hypocrisy? Beating a woman is de****able, racism is de****able. If you want others to be equal in their condemnation then you too need to practice what you preach. Having had a quick scroll through this thread I haven't seen you come out and condemn him for his racism.Comment
