Hopkins remark was a comment plain and simple.

For a boxer like Hopkins to say that regarding a fellow fighter he's trying to make a fight with is no more racism than a disgruntled employee telling a coworker that the boss is a c*** is an incitement to rebellion and mutiny within the workplace.
WRONG it just involves people making a judgement about someones' skin color or ethnicity.


If I am called a racist by your standards then I personally would have had to subject someone to slavery so I can drop the N-bomb any time I choose.

Unless you say my ANCESTORS couldn't have subjected certain types of people to slavery etc etc. And even then by your standards if my ancestors never had asian or european slaves I could say spic, jap, slope, wop, zipperhead, kike, etc etc to my heart's content


So your reasoning is either wrong or I can say whatever the F*** I want to to whoever I want to....because what my ancestors did or did NOT do was ALLEGED BUT NEVER SUBSTANTIATED
So by your logic criticising your governemtn is tantamount to mutiny or an attempted coup, or saying you hate your boss is proof of intent to cause physical or criminal damage.

What did he do that was racist?

If you can't tell the difference between a trash talk comment designed to rile someone up to fight you and to get the fans interested and a genuine incitement to racial hatred then you're not the well educated worldly redneck I thought you were
