and whats your opinion on saying, there will never be a true heavyweight champion who is white

thats racism

if a white man said that about black people there would be hell to pay, so why should it be different if a black man says it about a white.


I've heard worse in the sport of boxing. 

But why are you overstating and underestimating circumstances? 

I'm not here to get into a 'race' issue with you. 

Sure it can be conceived as a 'racist' statement doesn't mean Toney is a 'racist'

Just as Peters comment about beating Toney so bad he'll be his second wife can be considered a 'wife beating' statement doesn't make Peter a 'wife beater' 

Right?

And everybody has racist tendancies or bias toward one race or another and misconceptions about one or another race to preference even if they don't acknowledge it.

I think wacko said it best "Most aren't racist.. but all have racist tendencies."

And Toney isn't the exception.

I'm not excusing Toney, but I'm saying don't "overstate" what he said a mountain out of a molehill.

Hell Vargas could be considered "racist" for all the things he said.

He said Oscar wasn't "mexican" enough..

Which is a slur against Mexicans like saying that they are all supposed to be streetwises and people that don't get the rich jobs and make enough money for themselves and are exclusive to the streets..

And that slur against mexicans is a hell of a lot more offensive then anything Toney said.

So don't overstate
