Racism in the USA

[Offline]

What about when Hearn says “Garcia vs Vargas will be an all out Mexican war”???

Why can’t it just be an all out war?

Not a race.

Very true, right is right. Slavery was wrong, but that was along time ago, and we need to move past it at some point. White people perpetuating racism is wrong, just like black stoking the fires of history is too. You know, realistically, all we can do, is to treat people like people and hope other people do too.

nice false equivalency but one thing led to the other. they are not equals. the white racism led to the current structure of our entire country. it was literally built on racism and racist labor. it wasn't built on black people being mad about history. its kind of strange to say "well all that happened but everything is equal now!" its like playing a baseball game and one team gets spotted 10 runs to start. ok lets play! who do you think will be "winning" after a couple innings? probably the team that started with more no? now factor in the team with the lead essentially controls the umpires and rules of the game as well(political power)

you literally couldnt even buy a house in a white neighborhood until the fair housing act in the 1960's so who ended up with most of the wealth after slavery and since? wasnt black people and as we all know wealth makes more wealth and lack of wealth leads to crime etc... so over time thats why we see such a huge stratification in wealth/poverty/crime based on demographics.

it also doesnt help that over the last 50 years the government and right politics have pursued policies that have further stratified things when it comes to income inequality. this in turn disproportionately affects minority groups since they have less to start on average. these are things that structural racism is built on. they might not seem racist and maybe they arent. maybe its just greed. the reasons dont matter but the affects do and they are real.

Why the F#CK is this thread even allowed on this forum when it has F#CK to do with Boxing!

Do Better Boxing Scene Forum! Since CBS Sports took over this Website/Forum it has gone to complete SH#T! A bunch of Mentally Ill People trolling and taking their frustrations with their own lives out on Boxers. This place is not mature enough to discuss certain things and a Topic on Race is one of them because it always go sideways every time

Time to Start IP Banning People Already! Enough Already! Keep it Boxing or F#ck Off elsewhere!

Having a discussion about racism.is not racism.

[sunny31]

Please name a place in the US where racism is not an issue.

Not is prob wrong word, but less than many/most places is the point...

WOW! In other news a black guy just killed five white guys....

"The man police say killed five co-workers at one of the nation's largest breweries before killing himself was accused of pointing a gun at an SUV and punching a woman in the face in the early 1990s, court documents show."

That’s because they are tired of being oppressed and being victims of racial injustice... so they get upset and make wrong choices... how would you like to be a slave? Or have your parents and grandparents tell you stories of the sh.it they had to go theough all because of this specific group of people, and now you have to live in society in the middle of all those same people and one of them looks at you dirty because of your skin color? Y’all whites were phucked up! Many still are..

Yeah, so my generation and many generations back have nothing to do with any kind of 'racial injustice' that you speak of. Prejudice? Maybe, but everyone is prejudice and there's good reason to be. If you see a thug a$$ guy with a hoodie walking toward you and you become defensive over it and guard your wallet and phone tighter, that's being prejudice.

Slavery ended 150 years ago too so nobody and nobodies grandparents who are still alive were slaves either. That's just an excuse to do whatever the f#ck you want to do. It's not like people don't have choices. The way that you have responded is my exact point. The vast majority of black people in the USA are racist. Not prejudice, but flat racist! I get that it was passed along from previous generations but holding people responsible for things that their ancestors may have did is still wrong. If that's the case I could hold black people responsible for the Crusade wars when it had nothing to do with me lol

So let me get this straight. Your argument is that because something happened 50, 100, 400 years ago, that it makes it right to teach your children to hate another race? Really?!

So, if a black man Rob's me, that gives my grandson a free pass to rob a black man?

It seems to have come back into prevalence during the Obama administration. If you remember, BLM and some police shootings, as well as Kaepernick and his "protest" all gained national attention in 2015 and 2016

Yup, just at the time when the demo-rats knew that a black man was not going to be in the white house any longer regardless of which party won the election. It's pitiful too because it's all based on lies anyways.

[Robi13]

Sure. One of the African American youtuber’s I occasionally listen too gave himself a similar excuse for being racist. He’s racist often but I just overlook it for the boxing info, but what he was recently after going on another racist rant was that he was allowed to, and he’ll be allowed to for at least 400 years or how many years blacks were slaves in America.

I get the idea, but an eye for an eye doesn’t work. You gotta let it go eventually. If you’re gonna be only pro black and go on racist rants, you’re just urging others to treat you the same. Let it go. Or at least don’t make it so obvious, it’s a bad look.

Agree you have to let it go, it’s just easier for one group then the other

Agree with you bro, So why the dirty look from whites at the store? Happens everyday
