I was making light of how Bernard Hopkins explained away the racism in his remark but I suppose you will just look past that and try to be the bleeding heart on this thread as well, even when no one was meant to be hurt by my post and I was just trying to explain how silly Hopkins' explanation for his remark was.
But you waltz in here the assumed genius of the forum.....please enlighten me, maybe you're right, maybe I don't have shoes and if I do that's OK because all of YOUR stereotypes of me are OK and socially acceptable but no different than Bernard Hopkins' stereotypes and broad sweeping generalizations...but please feel free to stereotype me and anyone else who lives in the Southeastern United States....I await more of them because I haven't heard any like the ones you have taken the time to think up.

I've wore flip flops to mariners game before, I once talk smack to this one reliever inside the bullpen. He got piss and tried to scare me by pitching a fast ball towards me but the thick fences was in the way. I told him i could throw my flip flops harder then he throw his fast ball. I forget this guys name but he wasnt any good. he ended up losing the game for his team.

Re: B Hop explains racial slur:says he didn't mean it,was just to sell fights.
They should fine him and take his license away for a few years, That's what would of happened if a white fighter had made a similar remark. It's ok to poke at the white skin as long as it doesn't poke back. Personally I'm tired of reading, seeing and hearing remarks of white people this, white that. Just how I feel guys, No pun intended.

Although I'm not white, I hear you and agree. That is why racism has no end in sight.

Kirk,that i one of the wittiest lines I've ever read! Nice! And I agree,those that are saying it's only a comment,doesn't mean anything are foolish. If Joe has said something similar to B Hop about black people, he would get banned,he would be heavily criticised etc.

Re: B Hop explains racial slur:says he didn't mean it,was just to sell fights.
Yeah it was an obvious ploy by BHop. There must be some competition inside Golden Boy Promotions to see who can sell more PPV's than ODLH or something. But the only thing i'm wondering is what he's going to say if he loses? I remember when Anthony Mundine was fighting Sven Ottke, he said pre-fight (i think) that Ottke hits like a girl. And after some karma catching up with him and getting ko'd by a punch to the temple he said something like he still hits like a girl. So Ottke said well you got beat up by a girl then.
So what will Hopkins say if he loses? "But he fought like a black guy!"

I didn't know either but apparently...
Wetback- is a derogatory term for a person that has immigrated illegally to the United States. Commonly referring to Mexicans, the term is based on the presumption that the person in question swam or waded across the Rio Grande to get into the United States, getting his or her back wet in the process.
The term coolie- was applied to workers from Asia, especially those who were sent abroad to most of the Americas, to Oceania and the Pacific Islands, and to Africa (especially South Africa and isles like Mauritius and Réunion). It was also applied within Asian areas under European control such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Shanghai and Hong Kong

Re: B Hop explains racial slur:says he didn't mean it,was just to sell fights.
Allot of Blacks are raised to not like Whites. I know I used to get jumped allot because I was white walking through a black area. I wish he would set this crap off to the side because if he wants to be a bigot then I'm rooting for Calzaghe. I always root for my American country man. I only didnt once and that was Hatton and Mayweather. Floyd is kind of a penis. His act and attitude for any Catholic or Christian having that amount of Greed, Pride , Wrath , Lust and that much narcissistic behavior is a first class ticket to hell on the Concord. I like the humble guys like Alfonso Gomez , Ricky Hatton , Kelly Pavlik ,
De La Hoya , and others like them. To me it is a breath of fresh air.

It is me you are so right. I went to a school half black and white. Both bantam football teams went to the middle school. Akron Kenmore and Akron South. One is black one is white. We hated each other. But it is me . I jumped my self. When I was jumped at 15 I was 6 foot 180 pounds. I hit puberty when I was 11. I was a mark to begin with. I have to have my shirts taloried because of they don't make a 19.5 neck size with a 34 35 length. I stuck out and I was one of the bigger kids. I had 7 kids rush me off of there porch. I had my orbital in my face broke(now my eye droops) from having my head stomped on while I was on the concrete. I had a broken arm and a ruptured spleen. I was walking home from South Akron Educational center on East Ave. I was taking a drafting class to keep busy. What did I do you ass. You might think you are all that and a bag of crap because you train. There is allot more than boxing. Try fighting off a 2 time runner up and 1 time state champ 189 wrestler who train in boxing.
I would like to see how some one would do in a Kamora from a dude 6' 235lbs. Walsh Jesuit 1997. #2 nationally ranked wrestling team in the United States of America.

Interestingly enough,Im 6'5",and I smashed up my orbital bone as well,they had to perform surgery to fix it when they were wiring my jaw shut
And yes,even with the surgery,my right eye droops
Sorry,no pity for the race card in reverse,the three most vicious attacks Ive ever suffered,and the three most senseless were all white guys(admitably,one was totally earned,I should have been way more sober when I called the guy a pussy that many times)
Sorry your little tale of woe sounds like school crap,happens all the time sahib,dont matter on the races involved,that kind of thing is pretty common

Sorry Lyle,that knife cuts both ways and its even sharper on the white hand side
As far as drug dealers,get a clue,the worst drug out there in the south right now,is the white mans crack, meth
I dont use drugs,but I do pay attention,I couldnt find crack within 50 miles of here,but I could damn easily find a couple of good old boys cookin up some meth

Regardless of why,I think it was a crude act from a 43 year old man,who appears to have no self respect left,making himself look foolish in and out of the ring v Winky and here too. Oh my,I really want JC to beat his ass.
The first thing a racist will always tell you: "MY BEST MATE IS BLACK/WHITE*!"
The second thing is: "I'M NOT RACIST, BUT!"
Face it Bernard, you're racist!

Now wait just a cotton-pickin' minute here. You weren't " making light of how Bernard Hopkins explained away the racism in his remark " at all, you were whining that white people don't get fair representation in America. Because it's not like there's a political party in America that stands up for their interests, is there ? It's not like anything in America is run by white people, is it ?
And I don't agree with southern stereotypes at all. I don't believe that all southerners are how they're commonly portrayed. I'm sure that not all southerners regularly wear pointy hoods and that not all rural southerners have radical ideas about animal husbandry. I'm even perfectly prepared to accept that there are some southern families whose family trees fork every bit as much as those of their northern compatriots. I'm not saying all southerners are like that. I'm just not into making those sorts of stereotypical judgements.

Bernard Hopkins explained that he said what he said to garner attention for the fight.....and I said, so by that rational I would be able to use racism to garner attention for anything. I found that silly and then posted (in jest) that I would now begin all my posts with various racial slurs so that more attention would be paid to my posts.
Do you understand now or do I have to draw a diagram or maybe have mimes act it out for you as I narrate?

it was clear he said that to promote the fight
people shouldn't take it so seriously

....and that leads to promoting other things by use of racism if you use Hopkins' rational. He said it was to draw attention to the fight therefore creating more intrest in the fight itself and I guess it's true IF Bernard wants tons of white people to watch the fight to see him get his ass whipped, by a "white boy"......it's not a positive way to draw intrest in the fight and it's not a wise way to draw intrest in the fight because if he does beat Calzaghe, there is Kessler and Pavlik and people if they are mad enough will want to see them have their chances to whip his ass.
Plain and simple Hopkins' comment was uncalled for and if there is to be racial equality then consequences and repercussions need to follow ANY racist statement and not just the ones made by white people

Here's post number three in this thread :
......wish there was an NAAWP to help us white folk out....we get hated on by everyone and yet no one stands up for us.....well let me correct that, no one in their right mind stands up for us.......and the others don't stand up in a reasonable rational way they go around in lynch mobs and just exacerbate things
http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...63&postcount=3
You were whining about how difficult things are for white folks in America. Your first reaction in this thread was to cry about how hard things are for white folks. How nobody stands up for you. Just a load of ridiculous self-pitying whining and crying. Like a big baby.

And has Bernard Hopkins be repremanded for his remarks? Have preachers demanded that he lose his job over his remarks? Has he had sponsors drop him because of what he said?
Then I reckon there is a difference between when a white person says something and a black person.
As for the "whining and self-pitying" it was sarcastic but I suppose that doesn't matter either.

Of course it was. Your first reply in the thread was to whine and cry sarcastically.

I don't see how mocking southern crybabies because they think that they're a persecuted defenceless group is self-righteous. Making the case that southern crybabies are a bunch of self-righteous pricks is however very easy indeed, and something you do with your own posts on a regular basis.

Have you lived in North Carolina? Have you lived in the South?

Yes, and I even took photographs when I was there.
Here's one I took of the five items or less queue at a Raleigh Wal Mart :

And it's posts like that which further prove what a self-righteous prick you truly are.
Please feel free to come back to North Carolina we do so appreciate people to come and tell us how ignorant and wrong we are.....I guess if the world was run by a stuffy British person then everything would be better.......oh wait, we've tried that haven't we

I'm still at a loss on how a member of the most self-righteous ethnic group on earth can call other people self-righteous. After all, I don't even believe that I'm one of god's chosen people.
North Carolina will be a fantastic place when evolution there starts to catch up with the rest of the world.

Well I just want to ask you, was the Civil Rights movement simply a movement to "get back at the white man" or was it a movement to make all men equal?
If all men are now equal (or more so than they have been at any time in the past) then why are certain people punished severely for racist statements and others are just ignored or people let it slide......that is the main point it's not about "Poor poor helpless white people" it's about being equal.
North Carolina has probably the best centers for higher learning in the South and maybe even America as a whole.
But don't let my explinations and views keep you from your pompasity in your response

The south has always had issues with the civil rights movement.
Southerners will tell you that while whites and blacks can share the same drinking fountain in the south now, it was a dastardly act for the gummint to force all those good southerners to do what they'd never done before but would have been delighted to do, of their own free will, at some point. It's just a shame that the mean ol' gummint made them do it, thus muddying the issue. This southern line of reasoning extends to everything from the minimum wage to the Clean Water Act to the attempt to pass the Equal Rights Amendment. By forcing them to do the obvious right thing, gummint was leaning on the common people, and it wasn't fair. Heck, the worst thing about it was the suggestion that they had to be forced, by law, to do the obvious decent thing. It was true they'd never done it before, but they had been planning to get around to it, and probably would have done it five minutes after the law had been passed, if gummint hadn't gone and gotten its panties in a bunch. Now all they could do was bitch till the end of their days about the injustice of being forced to not lynch nigras when there was nothing good on TV and not pay their employees in shiny beads. Not that they'd have ever done those things anyway, but oh, the injustice of being told that they couldn't do it!
It's true that there are lots of racist crackers like Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage who make endless racist remarks but they're never sacked or bothered about them, because the vast majority of their remarks go completely unnoticed. So it's unfair to bother one boxer over one comment when endless comments by commentators and pundits with national audiences go unnoticed all the time.

Some OLD people don't like Civil Rights but most any rational person doesn't have an issue with race, especially not to the extent there has been before. We have come a LONG way.
You apparently either don't understand the history or misunderstand the history of racism in the South or in America in general....you do realize that America was the only nation to have slavery as one of the issues that spurred on the Civil War.....that war created resentment and Reconstruction laid the roots for the KKK and other vigilanty racist organizations. Meanwhile other nations just bought the slaves and set them free....therefore little to no resentment and no casualties resulted from those ends to slavery.
What have Rush and Michael Savage said that is racist?
I do expect this to be worse than what Imus said which wasn't really racist and could barely pass for sexist......but Al Sharpton got in that spotlight, he does love the spotlight so.
And aren't you familiar with "Two wrongs don't make a right"....either it's wrong to say or it isn't wrong to say but that has to be the rule for EVERYONE......i'll be damned if you'd use the N word down here, North Carolina is extremely progressive in the larger cities, I can't speak much for the small towns but for the most part this state #1 never wanted to get in the Civil War to begin with and #2 slave labor wasn't a big part of the state's economy and we never developed the slave owning aristocracy that ran Virginia and South Carolina....and we are considered a Valley of Humility between Two Mountains of Conceit (those mountains being VA and SC)
