    When asked what Trump said that was racist you have no comment.

    What you said is way more racist than anything he said and unfortunately I see you have outed yourself as a racist. If this country sucks so bad then leave.
    People can complain about their oppression without leaving. This country belongs to everyone: Natives, Afros, Euros, Asians, and others. It's not a white country.

    Why do you always suggest that we leave? We are not guests.

    By the way, Bronx2245 is one the best boxing contributors on this forum, with facts, sources, and breaking news.

    You got the wrong one here, bro!

      When someone makes a bad post they deserve to get called out, doesn't matter who you are. Someone's status, skin color etc does not confer special privileges on them. If they make a bad post they deserve to get called out about it.

      I don't want to hear people complain when they have other options - if you are so unhappy here, why don't you go somewhere else? It is a bit of a rhetorical question - in the sense that if you looked at other places you could go, you would start to realize how great it is here.

      But some people are professional victims and will hold themselves down no matter what.

I don't care who is in the pictures, I know what picture is being painted NOW! It's pointless to argue or debate! Get down, or Lay down! Those who want 1950 to come back, F you! Those who do NOT want 1950 to come back, it's already 1974, and moving backward at lightning speed! Ignore it at your own peril!
        You might be better off reading. Know who Booker T. Washington was? Let me share this little gem with you.

        “There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.” How prophetic to think he would be talking about all the Civil Rights Groups of today some 100+ years later. The man was a genius.

        The picture painted “now” has been the picture that’s been painted then as it is now. He was never a racist and never had been. Sorry but I don’t believe everything I read on the internet. Just because 30 years ago Trump called for the execution of five who were eventually convicted of assault, **** and attempted murder (later to be exonerated) does not make him raaaaaccciiisssssttt. I too would have called for the same thing.

        That’s the problem with this s h ! t today. The term raaaccccisssst has become so overused it means nothing anymore. People are numb to it because civil rights charlatans use the term repeatedly to keep their own race as perpetual victims because it’s easier to be a victim than deal with your own community’s issues.

        Here are some facts about our President. More people employed in the history of the country, lowest unemployment in the history of the country, fastest economic recovery since WWII, more African Americans employed than ever in history. You living in New York has nothing whatsoever to do with your knowledge about all things Trump. In fact it probably jades you because you are surrounded by fanatical leftist ******** who keep the lies alive to keep victimhood strong!

          I think, as a vet who had served his country, he was talking about his war regiments. Memorial Day for the people he was close to and lost. I didn't think that post was necessarily racist.

            I mean he said he was a descendant of those lines and when I asked how so, he didn't answer. I know a couple of those regiments were guys from a long time ago as well so don't think he personally could have served in those.

            He said person X was racist and had said racist stuff and posted racist messages. I said how so, and I was genuinely curious if he had any material.

            He said he didn't want to post any of it on Memorial Day - and then specifically thanked 3 all black regiments in that same post.

            Seemed like he was saying 'this is my crew, this is who I support.' Just seemed like an odd message at best.

            I can only imagine if Trump thanked only white people or something like that, he would call him a racist. Just was playing by his own rules.

            Honestly I don't really have a problem with his posts usually - he seems to be the type of guy that roots for and supports his fighters but he doesn't come across as hateful or even overly biased imo so I have no real issue with him.

            Just thought it was a weird conversation.

              Yup, forgot Loma has the wbc belt. Haney needs at LEAST 3 fights before Loma, n have fun seeing Loma live!!

                Not to be political, but I was impressed that Donald Trump held a ceremony in the white house to pardon Jack Johnson officially, Wilder, & Lennox Lewis was there.
                I thought it was great for this country to give a warrior his due, finally. You want to see history in raw form "Unforgivable Blackness" The Jack Johnson story.

                    Simple when people have no way of having a actually smart conversation they go to the race card

                      Let me get this straight.

                      Some people are trying to diminish the Haney fight because it was on DAZN yet, those same folks criticize Wilder for not signing to fight on DAZN. that is beyond idiotic.
