Larry Merchant calls Wilder the “Last Black Hope”

[pittapatta66]

Dontae has a point. Merchant was happy to see an American lose to a foreigner. Just because the American was black and the foreigner was white.

We are supposed to be fiercely patriotic and stand for the flag and the playing of the national anthem etc. But when it comes to supporting a black American over a white man from another country that all goes out the window for some people.

These are the hard truths and hypocrisy that many don't want to admit.

to be fair though deontay aint repping the usa, he is repping black people/black nationalists/supremacists or whatever you wanna call them.

lets not turn this around and make this another 'white peepo so bad' kinda thing when the only people bringing race into the fight were wilder and maybe 1 or 2 black reporters asking about black history/racism around the first fight etc.

let's also NOT FORGET that 'great white hope' is thrown around all the time, one of the black american anchors asked fury two days before the fight about being a 'great white hope' etc.

***some*** in the black community are just fuccing LIVID right now and angry that they didnt get what they thought they were entitled too...a black american heavyweight in black history month who is fighting against 'oppression' from the last "foe hunnit yearz". why are we acting like there isn't a big bunch from that community that are so damn salty and reactionary as is evident with them now mad at Merchant and coming up with tampererd gloves conspiracies.

saw this same mentality with trump after *****. people get conditioned to having something their way and then when they don't get it their way, they feel like their entitlement has been ripped from them and they begin to lash out.

Wilder won a bronze medal in the Olympics for his country. He is an American.

Let's take a look at his track record.

Hated Mayweather, Jones, Hopkins, etc.... Literally jumping for joy when Jones lost, but hated life when Pavlik lost?

This is just off the top of my head. Go look at the videos as I'm sure there's much more

no ur a biased chump and expect a play by play guy to suck off ur fav unconditionally. i would need a lobotomy to try and reason with a idiot like u.

anyway I don't cling to every word or merchant says like he the final word for everything. at least he used to call out all the corruption in boxing.most of todays guys are yes men

Yeah but wilder walked out with that guy singing "black this black that black the other"

You can't segregate yourself then wonder why you aren't intergrated

trump is an american.
harvey weinstein is an american.
bill cosby is an american.

i dont get your statement? deontay doesnt STAND for the nation or its people, he openly states he fights for HIS people and his alone. if you are white, asian, mexican, ***ish, indian etc. deontay doesnt fight for you, nor does he stand for you.

these are just facts.

its like asking why doesnt everyone support mel gibson or hulk hogan?
