regarding this post http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxing_fo...topicseen.html i could not reply there i i made this topic....
Yeah even though Roger Mayweather was born here does that eliminate his African roots?... He is still African/American.. notice the African? Just like Oscar De la Hoya is Mexican/American.. So i was wrong in calling Roger African?... Why da fukkk did Floyd wear a mexican outfit to the DLH fight if DLH is american?
Is this post a joke?????
Yeah Daxx i think so :)
I'm not entirely sure if you are serious about this post, but yes, I don't really think we can think of someone like Roger Mayweather as African in any way shape or form.
1. If he ever actually went to Africa, he would feel as out of place as you would.
2. I have lived in America, and Africa, and any Americans who feel they are really Africans are sadly mistaken.
3. If he is the descendant of slaves, then generations of genetic input (including, statistically, a high likelihood of interbreeding with other races) would most certainly have diluted his 'African roots' as you so charmingly put it.
4. The PC way that Americans are compelled to refer to people as 'African/American', 'Mexican/American' is trite and shallow. It seems to me that it's just another way of stereotyping someone without having the guts to come out and say it (IMO only)
5. 'Africa' is not a country .... it is a continent with enormous genetic and cultural differences. At least a Mexican/American might have come from Mexico. Would a white Zimbabwean who moved to the US also be an 'African/American'?
I can't help thinking that you referred to him as 'African' only because he is a black guy, and I pulled you up on it ..... not to have a row about it ..... but just to say that I thought you were wrong to do so. Not for any pathetic PC reason, but for the real reasons above, which hopefully speak for themselves.
Oh, and thank you for not calling me an idiot, even though I am one. ;D
This sounds like the typical politically correct way of saying your an idiot
Would you call the black Jamaicans, South/Central America, or the aboriginals of Australia-- Africans? I think that any self respecting black that is not from Africa would tell you to go piss off and then precede to beat the holy crap out of. ;D I remember a neat black fella from the UK that thought it was the funniest thing ever when one of my classmates called him an African American. ;D

Instead come to England in a caravan, park it on a site of extreme natural beauty and live there until the residence succeed in forcing the police to evict you and then the council will have to give you a house. ;DQuote:
