Anthony Joshuas racist comments

[Gandalf]

Def taken a bit out of context by just glossing over he was in fact reading another persons statement and adding in some response. Like putting the end to black youth gang culture . Irony is that he agreed 'all lives matters' and Stateside that's being labeled a major no no by the same BLM protest . Can't please everyone, shit sometimes you can't even please anyone.

Had to see what all the uproar was about so I clicked on the link. Found a very short video clip so had to rely on the written account.

So.... what's with all the anger being directed at AJ? Flipping the script and making suppositions about what if Fury said something similar are moot. It wasn't the umpteenth a white man was murdered by a black cop without anything having been done about it. So yeah... a little frustration is understandable.

Or is it that we can accept a black athlete talking about his left jab, but he's not allowed to speak his mind on social issues?

Just trying to get a handle on things here.

Found this earlier and looks to be the complete 'speech'. Honestly as mentioned earlier this may have more to do with him participating in the first place and less about the chopped cherry picked line. He gets smug about being a 'hustler' sure and seems a bit odd a multi billionaire surrounded there but imo hardy a racist rant ffs.

HOLY SHIT!!!

Thats it?? THATS what everybody is up in arms about?

Thats my first viewing of it, I was expecting some racist ranting tirade. That was fucking TAME. ZERO RACIST IN THERE, SORRY.

It was racism and he is ASSUMING racism in the case of a crime in America which is not proven as racism and suggests avoiding white businesses in a country that is basically a white country not even connected with the murder. What does the local white butcher have to do with anything and is he wrong if he factually believes more whites are killed than blacks by police in the UK? Does evidence or logic not matter at all? How would that not be pointless discrimination against the butcher?

Joshua was admitting there that he is a 'hustler' too. It is only boxing that saved him. Take that away and where is he? Not such a good place. Good on him for using that chance, but most who try won't go that far as like with anything you usually need to be doing it from a very young age like Calzaghe or Hatton. It is something we work on all our lives like we do in classrooms with our minds. It is more likely that a stable life will come from doing well in the classroom and choosing a reasonable career from the basis of a healthy loving family. That is where it all starts. Working on something when young and molding the mind towards a goal. That is how we grow.
