Irrefutable proof Kovalev is NOT racist

[Alx.]

There we have it

Come on now, let's not paint Russia as a place free of racism. Throwing bananas at black football players happens in Russia too. In fact, since the fall of the Soviet Union, there has been an explosion of far right groups including neo **** skinheads beating up and murdering **********.

Did I ever say Russia was free of racism?

I was talking about the Stevenson monkey drama that the boxing media and fans used against Kovalev to make him out into a racist.

But whatever, feel free to spin it completely off topic...

I don't know where you get your statistics from, but according to the lousy data I could get from quora, the estimation is 50,000 to 60,000 neo ****s in Russia. Or 0.04%.

And especially considering the death and violence has been dramatically decreasing, almost to the point of non-existence.

Kovalev was never racist. Russians call people that they consider ****** monkeys. You guys love watching dash cam crahes, there are plenty of times when someone does something ****** he is called a monkey. That’s what it is. Kovalev called Stevenson a monkey because he considers him ******. In american mentalitly, comparing blacks to primates is a racist move. In russia, whether you’re white, black, or anything in between, you do something dumb you might get called a monkey. But because he american boxing journalists don’t know that shlt, they cry racism even though they’re uninformed.

We had the same thing with the Brian Nielsen and Mike Tyson fight here in Denmark.

There was controversy before the pair even met in the ring, with Nielsen using the term "abekat" to describe his rival at a press conference.

Per ESPN.com's account of the fight, Tyson was not impressed when he was told the term meant "monkey man" when translated. He said in a statement, "This will make me punish him even more than I had planned."

It was later revealed that the word was actually used in Danish to describe someone who acted foolishly, but the furore had helped raise the profile of the bout.

In an interview with Ritzau, Poul Duvill, the trainer of Brian Nielsen said 'Tyson's camp talked about how Brian Nielsen were to be beating half to death and had to eat out of a tube after the fight. Them trying to make something out of this is just whining and hypocritical bullshít.'

I don’t care if he’s racist. He’s a russian fighter. Who gives a f uck? I’m fine watching him Krush with one K and not three.

Though... Imagine the amount of money he’d generate/make if he was an open member of the Klan and was american? They’d come out in droves.

I’d watch. :|...

I don't know man. Salka didn't gain many fans with that wall on the trunks bull****. He became a bigger clown.

One that takes a photo so he has "Irrefutable proof"

LMAO. Exactly what I was thinking!

[VatoMulatto]

A racist who wants to prove he's not racist.

Look, I don't know nor care if the man is a racist but c'mon now, everybody knows a racist can still have friends/partners...etc of other races and still be a racist.

The classic line..." I'm not a racist, I have black friends"
