Comments Thread For: Haney: I've Had Time To Reflect, I Sincerely Regret Using That Term

[KillaMane26]

Until I see no one brushing his hair before a fight, I'll give Haney the benefit of the doubt.

Lmfao hahahaha. This was so random

Well I seen other fighters like Sergey Kov say worst things.... But like i have said b4. Everyone is so racially defensive this will never go away in certain people minds.

We all say dumb sheit sometimes. Hope he learns from it, keeps it moving, and does great things.

But let me make a point. He says he used "a term" and that's not the issue for a couple of reasons. First, there's no offensive term. I don't think I've ever met a white man who sees offense in "white boy." That's not an offensive term.

Second, and more important, is that it's not the term that is the issue, but the ideology behind the statement. If I slip up and use a term that is offensive, that's one thing. But, if I believe that one group of people is inherently better than all members of another group, then that is wrong regardless of what terminology I use.

He said nothing about one group being better than another group. He said that he wouldn’t lose to a “white boy” and was referring to one white boy specifically in lomachenko. White people jumped on the fake outrage train to try and punish him and to deflect from their own racism. It’s that simple.

Americans, especially black Americans, don't know **** about race, ethnicity or the ethnic and cultural histories or other countries and regions in the world They view the world in black and white literally lol

Its all good. Asa white boy, I wasnt offended. I was more offended by a few dummies that would have been mad if a whiteboy would have said the same.

I disagree. He didn't specifically state Loma, to the exclusion of other white people. He simply said he wouldn't lose to "a white boy." Here, he has declared himself to be a better fighter than the entirety of the white population.

He didn't say "that white boy" he said "a (any) white boy."

Loma will punish him enough for us.

Who cares what he says, I ain't ever gonna listen to a black boy...jokes. worry about more important things in life, like forming militia and storming child sex slave compounds that are operating on US soil.

Or at the very least, worry about getting some money for yourself and family to provide a better life for them .

Signed, Devin's management...

P.S., Sorry we were sleeping at the wheel. It won't happen again.

I think he was more naive than anything else. The podcast/Youtube channel he was on has a target audience, they are very race orientated. I think he may of been trying to pander to the shows tone.

It was a silly thing to say.

"I can tell you this — I will never lose to a white boy in my life. I don't care what nobody got to say. Listen, can't no white boy beat me, I don't care, on any day of the week. I fight a white boy like 10 times, I'm gonna beat him 10 times."

damn he plans to fight loma 10 times in his career, thats a lot lolz
