i saw a white guy fighting a black guy... but that doesnt mean that i am racist. just keeping it 100.

Fury's not white, he's light-skinned. He's a slick fighter and his first name is Tyson. He can't possibly be white.

Racism in America is EXTREMELY bad. The vast majority of the time, it's a white person initiating racist behavior while black folk are just trying to go about their business.

Try opening up a history book for once..... You will see that the KKK had a huge presence in America and they would lynch and hang black folks for the fun of it.

in the 60's, white policeman would spray waterhoses and unleash dogs on blacks that would only be peacefully protesting.

A lot of racism by whites.....

You misunderstand me. I support and appreciate the oppression black Americans have suffered and still do. It's backward and unjust.
I just am taken aback by how often it appears in threads on here, a reminder to.me that it is still a big issue there.
I hate racist cops, kkk and their idiotic hatred..innate Trump for causing so much division (ironic that the word 'United' is the first word in the country's name and he is applauded as some kind of great person- I would hope no blue collar person of any colour would vote for him. I hate him.
Anyway, I'm sorry that you experience that. UK has our idiots too, but our police are more sensitive and racists get called out very seriously for their bulls**t.
Best wishes.

So you hear a black guy calling guys ******s and s..cs.

But how many of those black guys have hopped in pick up trucks and lynched and hung white folks just going about their business?

How many of those black guys sprayed white folks with waterhoses just for peaceful protesting?

I'll await your answer, Billy........

How rampant is it? It creeps into boxing discussions and seems to polarize American fans.
Are Americans aware that racism is not even a fraction of the problem.in UK as it is in the states as it pertains to sport. It is dealt with very seriously. It's not cool.
For example, in January two football supporters were banned from attending games for 5 years for making racist comments.
American police are extremely bad for profiling young black men - I get that, so I understand why Americans may think the rest of the world is like that also.
Your cops are utterly medieval, and then you have a president who is pretty backward in his views, moronic too. (Surely he doesnt get many black.votes?).
All this to say- that when engaging Americans in boxing talk, I am often surprised how accusations of racism come up out of the blue.
I saw two men fighting on Saturday night - I think many Americans saw a black man and a white man.
Let's eliminate that attitude in boxing, on both sides of the pond.

I grew up in the bay area in California and my parents, me my sisters moved back to the UK when I was 16. I can honestly say without a shadow of a doubt that the UK is much more racist than California, so you have to first not generalise because America is a big country and in many states they are much more progressive than the UK and the rest of Europe. B yes there are states where racism is still rife and it's a big problem...bigger than Eastern Europe? Debatable.

Your post is extremely ignorant for the most part, just because Wilder tried to play up the black-white angle doesnt mean anything. Wilder comes from one of 'those' states where there is quite a lot of racism and I'm imagining lots of young black kids still get that in school etc that leaves mental scars even as adults. Does that make him right? No. Do I understand his sensitivity? Yes.

But there are BIG parts of the US where racism is not an issue, there is more social integration, more mixed race marriages, and it's generally a non-factor. The UK and media from other countries try to focus on the southern states and extreme racism sometimes to make themselves feel better and say "hey we are better" when the reality is, we are much less evolved as a country when it comes to racism. We are only really scratching the surface and its starting to become an open conversation.

So yes overall I agree, posters here and the boxing community should look past these factors...but dont get on your high horse and generalise an entire country based on news reports, and whatever limited experience you have.

Lastly I think racism is wrong, but supporting a fighter from a similar ethnic background or country is not wrong. So you should be careful and be able to distinguish this before you call someone racist. I support British boxers, and sportsman as a proud Brit, but i dont feel that should be held against me, and that doesnt stop me from liking other fighters either. Miguel Cotto is one of my All time fav fighters for example, and I'm a big Andre Ward fan because he where I grew up is about 20 mins from where he grew up.

I mean hell......... It just happened recently with whites killing the ***s. Put them in ovens and to this very day, you have whites denying it ever happened.

They say it never happened. It was a complete hoax. They say the ***s are lying about the entire thing.

[Robi13]

That is not racism.
That's you looking for it to be racism.

So saying I saw a black and white fight is?

Why the F#CK is this thread even allowed on this forum when it has F#CK to do with Boxing!

Do Better Boxing Scene Forum! Since CBS Sports took over this Website/Forum it has gone to complete SH#T! A bunch of Mentally Ill People trolling and taking their frustrations with their own lives out on Boxers. This place is not mature enough to discuss certain things and a Topic on Race is one of them because it always go sideways every time

Time to Start IP Banning People Already! Enough Already! Keep it Boxing or F#ck Off elsewhere!
