Anthony Joshuas racist comments

[smashup]

The point the guy who wrote that is making is that Joshua is a racist hypocrite.

Adidas , Unilever (Lynx), Lucozade etc etc are all white owned companies and he's happy to take their sponsorship money left right and centre.

He can't spout his bullshit then expect to have it both ways.

Let's see if he now ditches them all in favour of black owned companies 😉

Ain't gonna happen at all & he's lost a shitload of fans over his recent comments.

Where did it come from? It's like someone copied and pasted a few generic Facebook posts together to form an 'article'. I bet this person is also part of the 'hope Fury smashes him' mob. Guaranteed.

I don't think he'll lose any fans at all. Like I said previously those same fans he's currently lost, are all championing Fury to smash the racist. They forget pretty quickly, they will with AJ's comments or non comments too.

what is wrong with encouraging blacks to frequent black businesses?

When your supposed to be the "face" of several white owned businesses in terms of marketing but are now telling all black people to boycott all white owned businesses 🤔

A 10 year old could work that one out

Maybe he decided that "face" wasn't as important as the issues he was speaking about.

I'd say whether anyone agrees with him Or not wouldnt affect whether they would support him, if anything that'd increase. In the abstract, he didn't really say anything anyways.

It’s not about encouraging Blacks to frequent black businesses. Obviously no problem with that.
But the intimation is “Don’t use White businesses” and if a White guy had said it the other way round, that is EXACTLY how it would be seen and there would quite rightly be uproar.
Has it stopped me being an AJ fan? No.
Am I a little disappointed in him ? Yes.
I just think it was unnecessary And I think he was a bit poorly Guided/advised

I wish sport was not involved with politics it's a dirty business but there again as they say were there is muck there's money !
I would have loved to have seen Eddie he must have had a face like a smacked ass.
There again a smug Lewis Hamilton telling everyone how it is with his 350 million in the bank.!

That part about supporting black businesses is really being taken out of context in that it was literally only half of the sentence. As opposed to looting shooting and criminal action against 'white' business, support black owned ffs. Honestly he was literally saying much of what you hear some people complain about when discussing BLM at least in the States. "They never condone crime or black on black crimes.." etc. Sure looked like he did that in the statement he read. Truth be told it's fooking mental this shat is still being stoked.

I'm not a big Joshua fan, but I do think this is a bit of a storm in a teacup. Asking people to support black business seems fair enough and it's certainly not binary (supporting black businesses does not automatically mean 'don't support white businesses'. Bit like Black Lives matter doesn't mean that white ones don't)

I am a big Muhammad Ali fan, and he said much more racist things than that. I'm not clamouring for any statues of him to be torn down .... and I'm not clamouring for Anthony Joshua to be blackballed, if you pardon the pun.

The further the hypocrisy. The same people saying they hope he gets smashed are probably the same ones giving him shit for being too scripted, a puppet. When he goes off script and says what he wants they cry about that as well It would be easier to just say look, I don't like the cunt.

I’m confused. From what I’ve said, what makes it sound like I don’t like him?

He's definitely lost a load of fans, no doubt about it.
The difference is AJ made blatant racist comments at a way more volatile time than Fury did with his homophobic rants etc.
Bang in the middle of global BLM marches when tension was sky high and it was all over the world's news.

Massive difference.

I know plenty people both black and white who think Joshua was foolish for saying what he did and are now routing for him to fail against anyone he fights.

Racism is mainly economic. That's how the white supremacist put black people in a chokehold.

It's easy for white people to think AJ is racist when you have starbucks, Mcdonalds, Apple, Mercedes, BBC. Fox, Amazon, google

Let's say they were black owned and run and built companies. I'd have no problem with a white man preaching white economic empowerment.

Black progress is measured in dollars. If black people as a group have got more dollars then we're moving in the right direction. No hand picked black ppl like Oprah. Either we all coming up or we are all going down. The black economic structure needs to be controlled by black ppl. If we are not holders of capital. If we are not able to finance things at an unlimited global and universal level then the system is failing.

White supremacists may hate us because we are black but they're able to victimise us because we are poor and as long as we remain poor we remain easy victims.

The wealth of the USA and the western world was built on exploiting black labour and later systematic racism to trap black people into being a never ending labor, consumer and prison class of people. The Homestead Act gave whites free land which they passed down generationally all the while bombing any attempt at black economic empowerment (Black wall street and Tulsa)

After WW2 Japan was bombed. The USA rebuilt Japan to 20th century specifications and now uses it as one of their puppet states. Japan was given a Marshall plan with clear goals to rebuild it to become an industrial player. The same needs to be done for black business development because white and non black people control the economy of every single black neigbourhood in America.

But there is not single white neighbourhood in the world were black ppl control white ppl's economy.

Black economic empowerment is the foundation.

True.
I wonder why that is ?
