    Rocky = Racist

    I was a huge fan of the Rocky movies growing up. My daddy never liked them very much and I didn't listen when he told me they were racist, but now, as a grown man, I can clearly see what he was talking about... For some reason, black people are portrayed as bad boxers and horrible people in the Rocky movies and it's not just a coincidence, it's systematic.

    Rocky 1:
    We first see Rocky beating a cheating black man called Spider Rico. He then ends up beating the arrogant Apollo in the end, although the judges gave it to Apollo.

    Rocky 2:
    Rocky beats the arrogant Apollo again.

    Rocky 3:
    Rocky loses to a rude black Clubber Lang only because he's distracted by Mickey's death and then goes on to school Clubber in the rematch.

    Rocky 4:
    A once again arrogant Apollo is killed in just the second round by a white Russian called Ivan. So the white savior, Rocky, has to go to Russia and avenge his black friend.

    Rocky 5:
    Rocky trains a new white hope, who beats the current black champ. All along, an evil black promoter is harassing Rocky. Rocky punches him in the end, saying "sue me for what?", as if it's a simple fact that black people can't win assault cases.

    Rocky Balboa:
    An old Rocky returns to the ring to beat a young arrogant black champion called Mason Dixon.

    Creed:
    Even when the black guy is a main character, he just can't win. Creed lost to Bellew in the end.

    Creed 2:
    Creed had to lose to Ivan's son before he managed to beat him in the rematch. He also seems like a brat, yelling at the old nice Rocky who took him in as his student.

    It's simply out of touch with reality that black people lose 90% of the time and are bad people 90% of the time. To make it worse, they even made Apollo cheat on his wife... I liked these movies as a child, but come on, it should be clear by now that they have a clear racist agenda. I recommend all of you to boycot this franchise and spread the word, it's simply horrible that Rocky is regarded as some hero in the boxing community. Stallone shouldn't be hailed for this racist franchise, it's sick that such stuff is popular in this day and age.

      I don't mind a white main character. But I do mind black people being portrayed as bad people and inferior boxers.

        Are you serious? If so should Stallone pay reparations to you for what he intentionally did to you?

          Not to me, but I think it would be quite fair if he did something to make up for the way he has portrayed black people through all these years. He could donate his money to help the black people of Detroit, for example, not many white people have done such a thing.

            Sounds like you have a really busy life & lots of real problems.

            What are your thoughts on the sexist implications of a female being a nanny in 1964's Mary Poppins?

              If he pays taxes then he is already the forced-father of half of Detroit's children, who are far more likely to shoot him in the face than ever thank him.

              Which is why people who look like him were violently driven out & the economy collapsed to begin with.

              Not enough for you? Scheming for more?

                Rocky films are actually telling the truth. Just lok at Ali, he was very arrogant champ.

                    Elite black boxers don't lose to people who look like Sylvester Stallone. It didn't happen to Mayweather, it didn't happen to Ward, it didn't happen to Crawford, it didn't happen Ali, it didn't happen to Lewis, etc. It basically never happens, except in very rare cases.

                    And why aren't you annoyed at white boxers who disrespect their opponents? Remember how Fury badmouthed Cunningham's family?
