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

[Mammoth]

I agree with you there. Then I don't suppose he'll be too popular with people who dislike racists. But oh well.

World keeps turning.......

[mjh1969]

He not racist but it was racially offensive.

And yes there is a double standard if Loma had said that...

Same double standard between men and women. U can say things equal all day. But the history behind women rights and their history in this country there will always be a double standard. Same with blacks. Same with Mexicans, the list goes on.


Im not saying its right but thats the reality.

These are my thoughts exactly.

These days it's important to be racially sensitive. Regardless if you are white, black, Latino, Asian, etc. Bottom line.

Serious question - how did you feel about Wilder losing to Fury?

Couldn’t care less(outside of his su****ious looking glove). Never thought highly of wilder.

[mev1]

There's a lot of racist whites out there as well, and they TOTALLY believe the racism is justified, but they keep it between themselves... Blacks will never be allowed in their neighborhoods which is documented in their real estate schemes that keep BLACKS out. They'll never be included in public school assistance (therapy) for special needs children... I could go ON & ON!! They'll (blacks) never be recognized as EQUAL in most instances because of their COLOR - thats a FACT!

So, while blacks do have an inordinate amount of HATE towards RACIST WHITES, they sure as hell have enough PROOF that those di****able ATTITUDES exist in WHITES! WHITE people have the capacity to be WICKED & EVIL but they let it SHINE in their ACTIONS - not so much in "statements".....Haney's dumb statement can be explained - I can explain it - but his statement isnt on the level of EVIL people that could care less for those less fortunate....

Not all whites are racist. So to make a blanket statement like no white boy would beat me, is not going against the establishment, it is going against a Race. Loma is Ukrainian, and his people had Nothing to do with any discrimination here in the US. To say that is evil, and racist. Just because he is black, that does not give him a free pass to denigrate an entire Race just because a few of that race in another Country are racist.

Are you paying attention? Who said ALL WHITES were racist?!? They're not. BUUUT, most BLACKS & WHITES thrive on being racists - its part of their DNA, a big part of their motivation for their existence - for life.

The guy we're talking about is a "kid,"... like most "kids" in the Ukraine, like most "kids" in Russia, like most "kids" in America, and like most kids all over the world - Haney said something characteristically DUMB - its what "kids" do ..... I've made enough of those mistakes to build a factory.

I believe I know what Haney was trying to convey, and it isnt racist at all - or else he wouldnt have said it....On the other hand, RACIST people would love for what he said to be racially motivated - its good false ammunition to charge up their aquired racism.

Haney was forced to ADDRESS the situation, and he made it clear he's not racist. At least what he believes a racist to be.

The "majority" of fans arent so forgiving though, Haney will always be racist in their eyes - its "the way to go" for the hate filled bigwigs - it gives them 'reason to live'.. ..

The benefit of the doubt doesnt exist in these scenerios....Haney is gonna have to step up his game to beat ANY & everyone in his weight division.....

Bored racist fans won't give Haney the time of day - they'd really like a white guy to kick his behind.....which could happen if Haneys bag of tricks isnt depleted or doesnt exist.....

To white supremacists, whites are the only ones who get to define things. Language is and has always been fluid. Words and definitions change all of the time. The definitions of all words are a result of people just making them up, but you only think whites have that authority because it suits your agenda.

I’ve already explained why the white definition of “racism” is problematic/inaccurate and why the definition that I use is more accurate. You haven’t explained anything. Your argument is basically “we’re white and we say so, so that’s what it is”. Nevermind the obvious conflict of interest in whites defining racism. Going along with the white definition of racism is like going along with the trump definition of “lie”. It makes no sense. Of course whites are going to define “racism” in a way suits their agenda. They created racism.

No there's no problem with the dictionary's definitions of racist/racism. It defines a specicific thing. Your definition isn't more accurate, you are just using the terms racist/racism to describe something else which already has its own term. It's irrelevant anyway, at the end of the day it's just semantics. Whatever term you want to use to describe the belief that one race is superior/inferior to another, that's what some people were accusing Haney of and that's what they were offended by. Nobody was accusing him of creating a system of oppression.

You’re not smart enough to understand my thought process so you’d be better off just asking questions instead of making a fool of yourself trying to tell me what I think and how I feel. I point out anti black racism for 2 reasons. The 2 reasons are that non blacks are always in constant denial about their anti black feelings and they immediately cry “reverse racism” when we call BS on their denials. It’s that simple. This thread is a perfect example. Here people are trying to paint Haney as a racist. That’s ridiculous to me so I counter that by pointing out the difference in talking schit which harms no one, from systematic oppression which harms masses of people.

It's only ridiculous to you because you're blinded by bias. Just because worse things happen, that doesn't mean what Haney said wasn't wrong or racist. That's like saying if somebody robs an old lady of 10 bucks it's not stealing because somebody else robbed 10 banks and got 100m. You're deflecting.

There’s no point in complaining about racism because complaining or trying to appeal to non blacks peoples better nature is futile. It doesn’t work because people don’t have a better nature. People are evil and we just have to accept it.

What an ignorant comment.

Who is saying that he needs an excuse and that he was wrong? People like you are saying that. The question is, why should he or any other black person give a fk what you think? So what you think it was racist and wrong? It’s fk you and what you think. That’s my point here. Y’all are in no position to call black people racist. What Haney said wasn’t racist and I explained why. If y’all want to keep crying about it then cry your eyes out. Doesn’t move me at all.

How would you like it if someone said who gives a fk about racism againt black people, systemic oppression, white privilage etc y’all want to keep crying about it then cry your eyes out. Doesn’t move me at all? Try to look at things from a neutral point of view. Think about your beliefs and what you're saying.

No, systematic racism starts with people creating a system of discrimination against racial group(s) to ensure the privilege of another racial group. You desperately want to dilute and dumb racism down to trivial schit like “comments and thoughts/beliefs” as a deflection. If you don’t have the power to enforce your racial prejudices then you’re no threat to anyone.You can’t legislate thoughts/beliefs

Why do you think systems of discrimination, legislations which discriminate, slave trades, genocides etc have happened? Mass shootings, terrorism? This is why racist beliefs are so dangerous.

People here are simply trying to deflect from their own anti black racism

You've been trying to deflect away from Haney's comments throughout this thread. Smh

by trying to play this “both sides” game pretending to be outraged over a bs comment. Any white person who’s actually offended by this is an ignorant piece of schit who’s clearly ******. Just think about the gall it takes to be a privileged person on the strength of the racial terrorism that your people have committed all over the world, who runs around accusing the people you’ve oppressed of being racist to you based on a flippant comment. Y’all have no shame whatsoever.

I can see why the average white person could be offended and they'd have every right to be. Most regular white folk (including Loma as far as I know) haven't committed any racial terrorism. People can't be blamed for things they didn't personally do. They shouldn't have to accept offensive comments because of things that others have done and didn't Haney grow up in America? How is he oppressed?

[Goldie]

No Haney grow up in America? How is he oppressed?

These long drawn out exchanges are boring to me now. I’m clearly talking waaay over you people’s heads and it’s getting redundant. So let’s dumb it down to make it simple and plain.

I have just one question. If America isn’t a racist oppressive country, then when did it stop being racist and oppressive to blacks?

You’re not going to answer that question because you can’t answer it without exposing yourself. All you’re going to do is deflect with a bunch of bullschit and if/when you do that I’m just going to insult you and keep it moving.

I'm not the one making claims. I never claimed Haney was or was not oppressed. You did, so I'm asking you since you. How exactly is he oppressed when he lives in a free, ********ic society in one of the richest, most powerful nations on Earth? That's a genuine question that I'm interested in knowing the answer to.

So when did America become a free ********ic society for black people? It certainly didn’t start that way.

Your question is so ****** that it’s not to be taken seriously. Any idiot with basic knowledge of American history knows that the country was literally built on enslaving and oppressing black people so when did that anti black oppression end in America?

You’ve got 1 more chance to answer that question honestly, because if you respond with another passive aggressive deflection that you have to edit and rack that bird sized brain just to deflect then that’s it.
