Lil Wayne beefing with Team Maidana

Well, I honestly feel sorry for you if youIhd been traumatised into hating blacks but that's absolutely no reason or justification for half the utter shite that its being posted on this forum.

This is no place to bring your racial baggage... Whatever fucked up shit went on in Boston or whatever hell hole you live in... Seriously, you have to remember that here, you are safe. A MILLION miles from those places.

I'd like to think I'm from a place were one man's ignorance can never be another man's problem... Unless they want it to be. I would also like to think the same applies here.

I don't think you fully read my post. I was young when I grew up in Boston (I still live near Boston) so that was my only experience with African Americans. I am older now and see things differently. I don't rant and rave about racism, I was just trying to make a point why some people do. To be honest, I have probably met more screwed up white people but I am white so those are my main contacts. I was saying racism exists around the world, violent racism and slavery still goes on in Africa and a few other parts of the world. There is interracial prejudice, I have seen blacks make fun of blacks with darker skin. I attempt to be tolerant of all, I am in a interracial marriage and sometimes, not often, I catch shit about it. I try to judge people on their merits, not by the color of their skin. You may not, I don't always agree with what Finito said but I understand how that mindset is developed. In the US of course we have our problems but comparatively I think we have done a decent job with civil rights. Don't jump on me, I said a pretty good job, not perfect.

PS I think I am a little racist in boxing as I would like to see more white champs, that's the first time I said that here but since I am discussing racism, I did want to endeavor into full dislosure

Thats not racism at all. I am the same way. I would rather see my countrymen win most fights. I rather see whites come out and say it because every other color does. I think whites are taught to not be proud of themselves, I don't think thats fair.

Wanting to see more 'American'..countrymen...as champs I get. Hoping for Arreola to claim a title is killing me. Something as broad but a little shallow as 'white', I don't. Its all a bit silly debating race in such a global and individual sport as boxing. It is a big pot of gumbo and we're all mongrels and toads to the rest of the sports world if truth be told
