Comments Thread For: Devin Haney Says He is No Racist, Rejects Discrimination of Any Kind

[theface07]

You don't call out any singular race that's not right. What you say is "NOBODY can beat me!" See how that's not a controversial thing to say? I get that he's young but don't be ******. I think he's a great fighter but he still has to prove it in the ring. Hopefully the people around him will coach him up to where this isn't a constant problem.

You never know, his old man could've brought him up to be a Watutsi warrior, acknowledging the black race as superior and deeds of the white man to be sinful and dishonest!

[Fists_of_Fury]

He should be dropped from all networks and promotional companies should blacklist him. He's an afrocentric racist scumbag. The WBC should strip him and drop him from their rankings too. We know Al Sharpton would be marching if this was flipped the other way.

Says he's chasing greatness... As a racist.

I've listen to 78SPORTSTV quite a few times for the past couple years. At first i was like eh it's entertaining and he seems to know what he's talking about (and this goes with listening to Fannon boxing), but i came to realize after a couple times is they are soooooo racist. Especially 78. He's admitted numerous times that he basically hates white people from the many times I've listened. Even that Fannon diaplays a hint og racism in his talking... Though he tries to hide it unlike 78.

These guys are complete POS. Sure it's a free country and you can talk about anything you want on your YouTube channel, but don't be racist towards white people and then cry and ***** about how da man is keeping you down. Double standard. If it was a white guy doing what they did, it wouls be wrong. Just like Haney. Any white guy say what he said, but the opposite like I'll never lose to no black boy, the black community would lose their minds.

I quit listening to both those channels for the simple fact they are racist. Wilder has been on 78 a couple times and has displayed his racism. Which actually sucks because i really like him, but his whole demeanor changes when he's on ESPN or something else. So in a way, f him and i aint supporting wilder. Don't care if I'm cheering for a foreigner and not American. How long you gonna pull that card?

Anyone remember when fury was on ESPN before the 2nd fight and the 3 or 4 black commentators/ host were trying to bait fury into making the fight racial??? And fury came back and said this fight has nothing to do about race and so forth???

Only in America...but wait, blacks can't be racist because 200+ years ago some white and spanish people from france, England and Spain enslaved people from Africa (who enslaved their own people) that were bought and traded... And no living white person was responsible. If anything, blacks should be pissed at rich white people who's rich because of their family history involved with slavery... But how can you be when it's not their fault. Not like they asked to be born into a family that is related to a once slave owner...

Point being you want equality then everyone should be held to the same standard and no special treatment.

"statements that some fans and industry figures perceived to be racial in nature."

oy. fuccing. vey.

"I'll tell you this. I will never lose to a *** boy in my life. I don't care what nobody got to say. Fight a *** boy 10 times, I'm going to beat him 10 times,"

"I'll tell you this. I will never lose to a black boy in my life. I don't care what nobody got to say. Fight a black boy 10 times, I'm going to beat him 10 times,"

"I'll tell you this. I will never lose to an asian boy in my life. I don't care what nobody got to say. Fight an asian boy 10 times, I'm going to beat him 10 times,"

"I'll tell you this. I will never lose to a latino boy in my life. I don't care what nobody got to say. Fight a latino boy 10 times, I'm going to beat him 10 times,"

if you have a problem with one you should have a problem with all. if not, you are a hypocrite and have zero right to complain about racism. if you think all of them are okay or that all of them are bad, you are morally consistent.

They are all equally racist except for *** boy which sounds a bit more racist. Regardless, any racist statements can be ignored. They don't do half as much damage as systematic racism where people are relegated to substandard housing, have their voting rights and access limited and get racially profiled by police because of their race.

Punitive sanctions though ?

Your the bitterest SOB on this whole site. When Kovalev pointed to the monkey implying saying it was Adonis, some were mad but I never heard anyone say take his career away.

Sit your butt-hurt azz down somewhere and STFU !

i take it that was a clever "wink wink" kind of joke, or is the brainwashing really that strong? theres a reason why you think one is more racist than the other.

and 'systematic racism" can pretty much always be debunked with statistics and listening/taking into account other factors. we are talking about countries that legally discriminate against people in favour of ********** (affirmative action, equal opportunity etc.) and call it 'anti-discrimination'. the law is the law, and in theory, if someone commits murder or **** it is classified as murder or ****. wages cannot be paid higher or lower based on race or gender, and that is law.

'substandard housing'....but, last I checked, you aren't supposed to be provided a free house by the government, nay? so it is up to the individual to work to pay for a house. that may include taking advantage of the free education to get into higher study which will transition into a higher paying job if you choose your career path wisely. and universities - and this is a FACT - discriminate against asians and whites when it comes to SAT scores and artifically lower the requirements for '**********'. again, that is a fact.

[Mammoth]

Doesn't bother me at all although I can see how some people could take offense to it. It's the same as the old addage "white boys can't dance", "white boys can't jump", etc. It may be stereotyping, but on average, white guys get beat in boxing by black guys more often than the other way around. There are always exceptions to the rule of course. It's no different than saying black people love friend chicken. It's another stereotype but more times than not, it happens to be true.

I'd put good money on this particular white boy to beat him and probably by a wide margin. As a lightweight, it's supposed to be who Haney wants to fight. It beats being like Tank and not wanting the fight at all I suppose....

[Boxingfanatic75]

Haney made a dumb statement, but I don't believe he's describing the WORTH of a completely capable race - a race thats proven their worth economically & culturally for thousands of years - Haneys talking about "body mechanics" that white people tend to "settle" for....not an inferior level of being (Hitler on the other hand....).

I always joke that I'd love to train any determined white person to be "slick" in boxing - not that I think their "incapable." There ARE white people SLICK in boxing (I can name em'), but I've concluded not that many - WHY? they're usually comfortable with the "basics" or "fundamentals"!

That is NOT a racist statement. To be an ATG you've got to have more! In a "team" effort mastering fundamentals would be more than OK. "SLICKNESS" on the other hand is "needed" in boxing, and can be "taught" to ANY race - especially if one is "humble" enough to learn it....I'll admit though, some (individuals from ANY race) arent gonna pick it up no matter how much you show em' - and thats OK! Boxing SHOULDNT be for everyone...lol....RESPECT to you for your knowledgable post....

Whites "carry forward" an EVIL ATTITUDE just like ANY RACE - many of them THRIVE on their WICKED attitudes!! ...BLACKS don't have the leisure & pleasure of taking RACISM & THIEVERY on the level of many WHITES - blacks DO run with their embarrassing take on racism though - many shoot themselves in the foot before even trying to get ahead...

Again, WE are known for our "statements," on these sights. DEVIL WHITES are known for their ACTIONS on a plateau UNKNOWN to MOST blacks - and lets not forget, whites also are known for some of the CRAZIEST RACIST statements KNOWN to mankind....statistics aside....I LOVE em' ALL!!!

IMO Caleb Plant is the slickest boxer today.

Racism isn’t about comments/rhetoric but unless the rhetoric is backed up/supported by a system you nitwit.

Wrong. You need to look up the definition of racism. The whole "has to be backed up by a system" argument is just some BS used to try excuse racism and double standards by certain people. You're as bad as the people you complain about. You are part of the problem nitwit

There’s absolutely nothing racist about what Haney said

Wrong. There's a reason he brought race into it.

and to try and equate that with the systematic discrimination/oppression that black people are subjected to(racism) is to perpetuate anti-black racism.

Nobody actually did that. People were equating comments. Certain comments are wrong/offensive/racist no matter who makes them.

Yes, because I’m going to let the people who created and benefit from racism define what it means to me. No conflict of interest for this dumb schit you’re saying huh? “Well technically my white man dictionary defines racism as......” You sound dumb as fk.

I don’t complain about anything you ****** fk. Pointing something out isn’t complaining. Complaining is what idiots like you do. “You’re a racist for saying that’s racist Wah wahh wahh”. Lol straight up cowards to the core of your souls. You can’t help it.

Wrong. There's a reason he brought race into it.

I suspect he is fed up with the constant anti black rhetoric that black boxers and black boxing fans are constantly subjected to. You’ve got a whole agenda pushed by boxing media and non black fans to promote and overhype loma as this legendary atg fighter, and black people who challenge that are attacked. He’s been going at loma trying to get a fight made since last year, so he’s undoubtedly been getting it the worst. I can only imagine the feedback he’s been getting from non black “fans”. Most of you seriously have a lack of understanding and basic compassion.

Nobody actually did that. People were equating comments. Certain comments are wrong/offensive/racist no matter who makes them.

Ive already explained why you can’t equate comments with systematic discrimination unless the comments perpetuate systematic discrimination. Haneys comments don’t perpetuate and kind of systematic discrimination against whites.

Y’all always want to play this “well if the shoe was on the other foot.......” game when we arent wearing the same shoes. We don’t even wear the same size shoes. These “if a white person had said that......” games never work because whites and blacks aren’t playing on an equal playing field.

For instance, racist whites love throwing around IQ scores and bragging on the general differences, but what they don’t tell you is that they deliberately sabotage blacks in education to ensure that IQ scores are generally lower. Blacks aren’t sabotaging whites in boxing or any other area of activity. That’s why it’s not the same. If white boys in boxing don’t like what Haney said then they’re on an equal playing field and have a fair shot to get in the ring and prove that they’re not his inferior.
