Anthony Joshuas racist comments

[Gandalf]

I do not hate him at all. I just happen to think he is misguided. Are black people honestly being discriminated against in an obvious way or even being murdered in the UK? And if not, then what is he talking about? Why does he have an objection to using John Smith's butcher shop based on John Smith being white and disagreeing that black people are being sacrificed by British police officers.

There is simply no case there. He has had his own brushes with the law and it was because he was doing things that are illegal. It just happens to be the case that black people proportionally carry out more illegal activities than some other groups. It is not racism at work here.

Fair play to him saying that the thug life is a road to nowhere, but he did choose to go there himself. If he was being really honest he would avoid the topic of white businesses and address the real issue which is that the black community has a very big issue with simply raising kids in an environment with a loving mother and father. It is a self responsibility issue more than racism.

If there are group differences, then the only way to address that in some way is to provide equality of opportunity and let the smart one's do what they can do and many indeed do that. This current mania of hunting down companies to see how many blacks are in their board rooms is stupid. Start with the basics first which is to raise a kid and teach self responsibility and civic duty. When a society starts to understand that it all starts with a tidy room, then great things can happen.

Miles have you watched the full speech? I ask because I've said multiple times that 'Joshua' or whoever he was being a mouthpiece for, pretty much agrees with you. The message is very clear.

The social media buzz is comical. 'Hope Fury batters the racist' Short memories some of these Facebook boxing experts.

He is more concerned about John Smith the butcher than watching the full speech.

Yes, I have watched the 2 minute video. John Smith was the man who might have nixed the Blair tyranny too, but alas his heart broke. He made excellent pork scaratchings.

I don't buy into the notion of boycotting for no good reason. Britain is one of the least racist countries in the world, so I don't really know what his problem with John Smith is.

Many black people live good lives by just not doing what their parents did if bad or by doing what their parents did if good. It is a personal choice to go off the rails though and for that I do support Joshua stating as such.

The boycott part just makes no sense and the same with the protests in general unless understood from a radical Marxist position. Statues in the UK have nothing to do with a personal rivalry between 2 men likely gone a bit wrong. Where is the racism in that incident? Has that been proven? If not, then what is it all about?

[Gandalf]

Scaratching is not a word. I meant scratching.

@SlimTrae - The UK is nothing like the US. Joshua hasn't been vilified by the media (zero criticism) or vast majority of the UK. There's a tiny minority, in the overall scheme, on social media calling him racist, and I repeat, they would have done the same regardless of the speech, just a picture with a BLM t-shirt would have been enough. Eddie Chambers, an African American, exposed Joshua's "black is the superior race" comments, it didn't make a ripple. It doesn't offend me.

From what i've seen from your own country, maybe Joshua's speech would have resonated more with "your people" looting and attacking their own neighborhoods/businesses? Opportunist scumbags, regardless of whose "people," don't give a shit whether they're wreaking mayhem on corporate giants or their grandmother.

We need to stop feeding people - every person regardless of colour/ethnicity - envy, paranoia and hate. You're not going to be Michael Jordan, it's OK, you can still have a fantastic life.

Bloody brilliant article about Peter Norman the white guy in this iconic photograph

Very rare to see a post from you! Sir we are in agreement. Somewhere I stated to @Gandalf that I know nothing of what is happening over there-let alone about the John Butcher shop. Don't expect you to see or read (everything) I write. Just lettin ya know we are in agreement! (US & UK are different in racial issues)

No, he actually IS John Smith.

He has the flitting attention span of a gnat and can't stand the idea of someone not adoring him. He doesn't even give a shit about John Smith. He knows nothing about his own history or culture and so has to desperately grasp for some relevance by denigrating the achievements of others.

You sure have a hell of a lot of time for someone you supposedly ignore

He sure does. Unlike him I actually have a degree in History and you know that I am rather involved in my culture in a way that he cannot be. However, let the useless man rant away. He is assuming a lot but knows little.

Still refusing to debate anything like an adult then? There are about 15 posts that you refuse to reply to . A list of questions in one and still it is too much for you.

He probably has a job and owes you nothing.

Yes Beanz quickly change the subject. Which posts am I not responding to? Also are you calling for me to post MORE? I feel like I'm getting mixed signals from you, but that would be understandable wouldn't it? A list of questions eh, give me this list of questions.



But yeah Gandalf is living rent free in that cavernous noggin of yours isn't he?
