This thread really got out of hand though so back on topic, Bernard Hopkins said something wrong, it's not the end of the world but if you're going to watch one group for saying similar broad sweeping statements about race then you have to watch them all.
Ive tried to point this out before,and the wounded idiginity of white folk is going to ignore it again
If you grew up around African Americans youd hear the phrase "white boy" but youd also here the phrase "brother"
Now if Calzaghe was from Philly and said,"There is no way Im losing to a brother",I highly doubt we'd hear a peep of this feigned indignance
You sure as hell didnt hear it going in to the most racially charged fight in the last 30 years,Holmes/Clooney
Mind you,it wasnt either of the principles who were fanning the fire
It was only the President of the United States Of America doing it
