.....the Irish, Northern, Eastern, Western, and Southern Europeans, Asians, and Hispanics had no problems working their way up through "the system" and they had to live in ghettos and they were persecuted too.

I wish I could explain to you the sickening nature in which the black leaders of my home town are basically extorting money from the taxpayers to pay for a Civil Rights Museum....I'm 100% for the museum it's something the entire community could be proud of but 5 years and millions of dollars later it's still not close to being ready to be opened........and they only had to rennovate a building to make this museum, it's not like they had to do anything too dramatic.....the museum project has now earned the nickname "The Black Hole"......and the moral of the story is Give us the money or you're racist, and don't hold us accountable for anything because if you do then you're racist

And oh our city council wanted to clean up the police department and they fired our Cheif of Police because he was "spying on black officers".....that sounds bad but the truth is those black officers were helping out well known drug dealers.....it's a total shame I guess if we're going to have corrupt policemen then they have to be black ones.

I know all this sounds racist but that's the whole point it really happened but I end up sounding like a racist for calling them out on it....I have nothing against the entire black community just certain individuals who are using their race as a shield for their corruption or entitlement

---

You mean like demanding to maintain the flag of a defeated nation and calling anyone who isnt willing to pony up for museums about it "denying us our heritage"?
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

Affirmative Action

Affirmative Action, Example: My brother has been with the water company for over fifteen years and aced a written test to be a supervisor 1. Okay 1 African American female has a little over four years and does mediocre on the test score, Who gets the job.............. The Female. If anyone has the right to be pissed off it is the generation of whites now. Were paying for S*** we have no control. Were paying for it mentally and sometimes financially Do not take this post as me being some hooded racist, Just taking up for my fellow culture. PS MICK or WACKO please remove this thread because this is just one big problem. And Before anyone questions my Character, I' am happy in a interracial marriage with two beautiful girls

There you go.He cites that one of his best friends,a former MW is white. He talks about Cooney v Holmes and other fights based on racial lines and says they sold big because of that,and that's why he said it. 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!

*Depending on what colour you are.

bottomline he should never have said it, its uncalled for and never a place for it in sport or anywhere

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.

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.

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.

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 :
