Shut up.
You’re too gotdamn ****** to “get” anything lol. You just contradicted yourself. You talk that bullsht about personal responsibility yet when it comes to the systematic white racism that America was founded on y’all duck and dodge like prime Ali.
Whites don’t take personal responsibility for sht. If you let white men tell it, they’re the ones being oppressed. The current president is a perfect example. He’s the biggest whiniest crybaby in the country and his inbred base follows suit.
“Systematic racism is a bunch of broad generalizations about white people”
There’s verifiable verifiable ndeniable proof of systematic anti black racism ingrained aspect of American society. Whether you’re talking labor, health, education, politics, entertainment, sports, law enforcement, justice system, etc there’s a structured system of privilege for whites and discrimination for blacks. Undeniable proof. That’s not a “broad generalization”. It’s a verifiable fact.Comment

You insinuated that white people didn’t have the right to be offended by haney’s statement cuz of systemic racism toward blacks. So racism you feel is valid, but other’s are just being “cry babies”. To illustrate a point, I dismissed your feelings toward racism, just like you did to the other poster. Clearly you didn’t like it. Never mind the fact that you’re generalizing ALL whites to fit your racist viewpoint. Just another “I justify my racism with the racism of others” guys.Shut up.

No I didn’t. I’ve even said that if white fighters are offended by his comments then they’re on an even playing field with him to get him in the ring and prove him wrong. There’s no systematic discrimination that privileges Haney and prevents white fighters from competing fairly.You insinuated that white people didn’t have the right to be offended by haney’s statement cuz of systemic racism toward blacks.

What I’ve called out is white people saying his comments were “racist”. I call that out because it’s just not true. I don’t generalize white people, I call out the fact that they uphold a system of oppression that ensures their privilege. That’s either true or it’s not and the history of America proves it to be true. No white people have been oppressed by Haney, and his comments don’t reference a system of oppression upheld by blacks against whites. That’s why there’s no equivocation. If whites are tired of people pointing out their system of racial oppression then all they have to do is end the system of oppression. This game where y’all pretend that systematic racism doesn’t exist or is just a myth, just makes you look evil.Comment

1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race
Hard to imagine another context where his opponents being “white boys” would factor in to them not being able to beat him.Comment

True, but sadly the 'race victim' card is never far away. Most whites acknowledge without a problem that there are ALWAYS pockets of daft racists among us but I don't think the same is true for darker skinned communities, yet it should be. Sometimes it feels like one-way traffic.Comment

It’s not that it isn’t acknowledged, but there are many who feel it’s justified due to the past and the racism that still exists. These types of people are unwittingly standing in the way of the forward momentum of their own cause.True, but sadly the 'race victim' card is never far away.

To say there hasn’t been a vast improvement over the years is willful ignorance. Trying to push some type of “payback” agenda, or saying hatred of whites is justified, only serves to derail the work of real activists. Ideologically, these types couldn’t be further from the civil rights leaders they like to quote.
At the end of the day, it’s a personal choice whether to focus on what’s what at the present moment and try to improve on that, or to focus on where things fall short and find someone to blame for it. Stewing in bitterness never helped anyone achieve anything.Comment

Haney said that he’d never let a white boy beat him. He didn’t say that white fighters were inferior to black fighters. He said that he himself wouldn’t lose to a white fighter. Why does that offend y’all so much? Is it because you’re afraid it’s true?Definition of racism

Btw, fk your white man definition of racism. Allowing whites to define “racism” is like allowing trump to determine the definition of a “lie”. There’s only one form of systematic discrimination in the west and it’s white supremacy. Everything else is a deflection.Comment
