Hopkins comment wasn't racist, get a life folks.

Jezus!! ;D

Now I am confused by your edited post.

Peurto Ricans considered white?

Well for starters, Puerto Ricans arent viewed as white in the states,not even close
You said he considered the white man inferior,how does that relate to his comments about Puerto Rico or Tito?
Oh wait,they dont,not even slightly
And if you had even an iota of a clue about how people talk in that part of the country you wouldnt care about what he said.

And in that, he rules out the possibility that any white man could be better than him, which is racist.

In terms of scale of racism, it is close to one one the one to ten scale of severity, but it still is racist.

I can't see how it would need to reach such a scale to become racist, surely just a comment about a p**i at the corner store or a n****r is racist, and doesn't involve any of your description.

---

It's not racist Rhun. The balck man has a long history stretching back hundreds of years of being oppressed by white's. If they have any resentments it's nothing to do with being racist and everything to do with history.

Growing up as a black in America where white's rule you are bound to feel some resentment and general hostility.

Is it any coincidence that virtually all of boxing's most flashy and flamboyant characters are/were black?

They have come from being part of a social underclass to being achievers in a white world.

It may sound hypocritical to say it would have been racist if the other way around but that is defintely the case here because of history.

I've said this before on the forum but past association is everything.

If Santa puts your child on his knee, ruffles there hair and shouts 'Ho ho ho, merry christmas' and gives them a present it's fun and part of what christmas is supposed to be about. If Gary Glitter on the other hand was to attempt to do that to your child you'd have a different mindset entirely.

Black people in general don't have any power to racially subjecate white people so they have little power to actually be racist.

Black gangs certainly can act racially in America but how can Hopkins actually be racist towards Calzaghe?

If you were to tell me you hated your boss and thought he was a c*** that's no crime. If your boss on the other hand tells another senior member of staff that you are a c*** that could be construed as intimidation or prejadicial seeing as your boss and other senior members of your workplace have authority over you.

Does that make sense?

---

Bilbo. I typically like your offbeat sense of humor and don't take issue with your words, usually. But this...

I am black and I have a question; what the hell are you talking about? One of the "equalities" that we as black people (I'm slightly disgusted with the "we" concept, associating myself with a group of people I don't know on the whole) was to be seen as no different from anyone else. Exactly for what reason do I have to hold resentment and hostility against white people? Simply because there are more of "them" than there are of "us"? If I went to India right now there'd be more of them than me too but I have no reason to resent them. And to reduce "us" to a bubbling cauldron of emotions ready to pour over at any minute simply because of what happened in our ancestral history. Thinking like that ranks along with the minds who think reparations are a good idea and to me that is one of the biggest jokes/insults running. To pay me for something that has nothing to do with me, that I didn't experience personally out of tax money that I and a country full of people who likewise have no direct knowledge is simply idiotic. You paint black people like were liabel to punch whitey at the drop of a dime. I don't want to hit anybody (especially considering people hit back). I do get what you're saying and recognize there are people who are like that who walk around with that chip on their shoulders, but I avoid those people just as much as any white person would. Don't reduce us to any one thing because "we" are no less complex than "you".

By the way, what exactly did Hopkins say anyway?

---

Nah mate you misunderstand me. What I'm saying is that in these days of political correctness and tolerance it is said that there should be no racism from either side, and I agree.

But what I find irritating is that a black man clearly just trying to hype a fight and put a bit of needle between him and Joe when he says ' I would never lose to a white man', is deemed as racist behaviour as if his comments are as bad as some of the racist outrages that occur on the other side of the fence.

To try and make an analogy here.

Imagine you are a low rung employee in a big firm. The boss is on a power trip and takes advantage of his staff. He denies them proper breaks, he mocks them, he makes them carry out humiliating tasks. He continually finds ways to dock their pay and generally just doesn't treat them very well.

Meanwhile a low end worker is overheard saying the boss is an asshole.

Now eventually the boss is found out and disciplined and fired for discriminating against his staff and a fair employer brought in to run the company.

But imagine the low end worker who was overheard calling the last boss an asshole to another co worker is also accused of discrimination and fired.

It doesn't make sense does it? The low end worker was a victim of discrimination and therefore was just voicing his opinion of the man who was taking advantage of him and his fellow workers. The actuall offenses were being carried out by the boss.


It's the exact same thing here. Nowadays we are all touchy feely about racism and ready to jump on someone when they say anything that our extreme sensibilities can get offended by.

Hopkins says he will never lose to a white man, 'RACISM!' the pc brigade shouts and points at him.

What was his racist behaviousr though? What did he do? How has he acted in a racist way whatesoever? He just said he will never lose to a white man. People say it's racism because he mentioned a colour but what was actually racist about the comment?

It's just the shitty political correctness beige brigade trying to once again show how tuned in they are about anti racism.

---

So that's what Hopkins said? It's on the lighter side of racist, but it still is. And your analogy only works if you put white people in the position of being in charge of black people and slavery ended over 100 years ago. I get what you mean, of the two races that black people are the more downtrodden, but c'mon, Hopkins is a millionaire. Some douche on a street corner calls Hopkins the n-word all he has to do is reach into his pocket and pat his billfold to put it in perspective. What Hopkins said is pandering to the notion that black people fight with an anger that white people don't possess, that it's more natural to us and thus why you should always 'bet on black'. It's crap, because black people lose to white people all the time. Had Joe been from Nigeria Hopkins would have said something else as to why he couldn't lose to him. I don't take him as being a racist for saying it (even though Nation of Islamers are flaming racists from what I've seen of them) because I know where it comes from, but it is a racist comment. It's just not a big whoop to me.

---

I guess my poiint is this, anti racism laws were basically brought in to protect black's and other minorites from discrimination from white's. I just find it deeply ironic how now the pc brigade think they have levelled the playing field and that everybody is equal they can confidently point the finger at black offenders and shout 'RACIST!' becuase they mentioned the W word.

And let's be real here, black discrimination didn't end over a hundred and fifty years ago when slavery was abolished it still continues to the present day. Black's in both the US and UK are far more likely to live below the poverty line than whites, far more likely to have criminal records, far more likely to be arrested etc.

As trainermonkey points out Hopkins grew up in one of the most segregated cities in America and obviously feels a bit of needle over white people in power. His comment wasn't racist to me in the slightest, just a bit of needle to try and make this fight happen. He wants to rile Joe up and get him to sign the contract.

Whether Hopkins is a multi millionaire now has nothing to do with it, he's still a street rat and proud of it I'd imagine.

So basically what I'm saying is that now the pc brigade have reduced racism to merely mentioning the colour of a race not your own. If you mention another colour and say anything negative at all you're a racist.

Meanwhile those in charge can continue to ensure that black minorites are taken off the electral register so that they can't vote, we continue to ensure that by and large black's are far more likely to be at the lower end of the social spectrum, have the worse jobs, have less university opportunites etc but as long as we are careful to tread the PC line and say all the right things it's all ok. ::**

---

Bilbo, I respect what you're saying, and I think there's a point there. My only issue is that blacks can be every bit as racist as whites. I grew up saying things about white people because that's what I heard older people around me saying, but at a certain point in my life I questioned as to why I would say or think those things. Being poor doesn't exempt you from being racist and just because you've been descriminated against doesn't mean you have to harbor those selfsame feelings as your oppressor. Just because you hate me doesn't dictate how I should feel about you and there are many people, from black to white who feel the same way.

:lolhaha:

Monkey you dopey bastard, those were Hopkins comments to Calzaghe. Why would he have said that to a Puerto Rican?

Explain what he did to Trinidad then ?? stop making excuse's for him, i have hardly ever heard a black boxer from any part of the USA say *I won't let a white man beat me* maybe just maybe Hopkins is a racist ??

I see what your saying Liquid,but as Ive tried to point out,its not poverty as such,its how people talk there,and tribes
You dont want your ass coming home beaten in by a member of the other tribe
Its not even racism,where you try to oppress another person,which is really what racism is,or not wanting to associate with another race,which is also racism
You just dont want to let down your tribe,as it were,its almost a neighborhood thing,you dont want to let down the neighborhood by getting your ass kicked
Its just in Philly your neighborhood is decided by your race,so you just learn to say things like "white boy",and "black boy"
Hell everytime my grandfather got in to it legally he would tell me how he was getting his "jew lawyer",and he didnt even mean it as a bad thing,he was saying he had a better lawyer then the other guy
Christ,every time I was in lockup "hey white boy" was how theyd get my attention

what hopkins said was wrong.
JUSTIFIED by history or not, a blanketed comment like that does not belong in professional sports.

Right, it's not the same thing as denying a job or lynching someone for their race, but it is using someone's 'race' as a negative, which is racist. I have no idea what Hopkins' true feelings are about whites, but I would guess that it was more of a hype than anything. He's doing a poor impression of Mayweather, playing the bad guy and saying things that have never come out of Floyd's mouth.

You caught the in before excusable right?
Oh jesus I should have hyphenated,otherwise.....................
He went too far with Trinidad,and he admitted it himself
And he didnt say "white man",he said "white boy"
Reading comprehension,try it

Monkey your talking nonsense, if Calzaghe would of said the opposite to Hopkins you would have been all over him like a rash, but because one of your favorite fighters said it your making lame excuses for him. When someone says the comment Hopkins said he is disrespecting white people, because what he is saying is that a white man isn't good enough to beat him because of his skin color.

Hopkins comment is not excusable just because he is from Philly thats lame excuse. Where i live there is a lot of racist's so should i say racist comment's just because its part and parcel of where i live ??

I know,Ill get vitally offended everytime someone breaks out the spanish rice,and Indian Summer will cause horrible conniptions for me,thats the way Im sure,every time a Southerner calls someone boy Ill have a fit,Ill act just like the photo negative of Al Sharpton on a bad day

* I Wont Let White Man Beat Me* there is nothing wrong with saying black man or white man, i never said there was but the way Hopkins worded it. He was basically implying white people are inferior.

Misquoted him again didnt you
He said"I'll never let a white boy beat me"
Get the freaking quote right if your going to be this bitterly offended
You havent quoted it right once

And so that makes what Hopkins said ok just because of the past?

Well I have some advise for you, leave the past where it belongs when it comes to holding grudges....in the past!

I don't care what my great great grandfather did to insult your race....but you need to face facts that it wasn't ME and if I ever do insult anyone, if I truly feel remorse for it, I will appologize....if not they can just fucking deal with it.

CC Lyle spot on.

CC back, I just want people to realize that nothing gets better by playing "tit for tat" when it comes to grudges against certain races or ethnic groups or countries or whoever you have problems with.

It's crazy young people talk about slavery and the civil rights movement like they fucking lived it. I wasn't alive then, I didn't do anything bad so don't fucking bitch at me about it, there is nothing I can do about it

We are all supposed to be treated equal. Therefore for me if Calzaghe had said the same thing about Hopkins but used the word black instead of white he would have been crusified (spelling). Therefore in my eyes it should not have been said.

For me personally however i believe it was Hopkins being stupid and whilst not being a racist I do also think he does not think he will be beaten by a white person.

Finally, I can see how a lot of people would take this to be racist.

No, he is serving time (still, and that is a fucking disgrace he should have had the chair by now) because HE did something extremely wrong.

If Charlie had a kid and he was just a normal little guy (even though with the amount of drugs ol' charlie did I find it would be a long shot to have a normal kid) you wouldn't punish his normal kid for the sins of his father.

So a few people who are barbaric and do this kind of attrocious act make ME (a law abiding US citizen who has a wide variety of friends of different genders, races, ethnicities, religions, etc) PERSONALLY resposible for racism still being alive in the hearts and minds of idiots?

So you're basically saying everyone's life is MY PERSONAL fault....only if you're a minority though......great I will love trying to handle this kind of responsibility.

Now you have to appologize for this

I could go on and on but the big question is DOES THIS SOLVE ANYTHING?

Does pretending it doesnt happen sovle anything?
I could go on too Lyle

Im a former skinhead
I could drag you right in to the muck of Christian Posse Comitatus,or the Order
They might be considered a wee bit more hurtful then Jesse Jackson hurting your feelings
Im just going by bodycounts alone

I never said "pretend it didn't happen" I say act on what has happened to you. Just because there are people who do this crap doesn't mean I am personally responsible....if it happens when I am around maybe I will feel responsible for not doing anything but other than that I won't feel responsible.

Is that ok?

I misread and thought that Hopkins had said fascist comments......then I thought, why would Hopkns be a fascist?

The article described what happened but not whether or not that guy got put away. Did he get put away for it? I hope so - people shouldn't get away with that but according to the article it doesn't sound like the defence put up a long testimony ....
