Where's the outrage?

Below is an excerpt from the article:

Despite their mutual respect for each other's boxing skills, Hopkins got in Calzaghe's face and spouted this zinger: "I would never let a white boy beat me!"

If a white athlete called his opponent "a black boy" the media would be jamming it down our throats. Reverend Al, Shithead, Sharpton would be on every 24-hour news showing screaming for the resignation or suspension of the athlete.

tough subject to talk about...but you are right.

It would be non stop coverage until someone was held responsible.

Your definitely right but this is nothing new. Happens all the time.

Same With Some Peoeple Who Say Hansbouro Only Won The Player Of The Yr B/c Hes White

FrankB03----this is a case where I find myself rooting and pulling for the foreign "WelshMan" in lieu of our own USA man.....

and you're right, had it been reversed, all the Sharptons, Jacksons, and now Obamas would jump all over it.....

There is a double standard with this and we all know it but thats because black people dont think they are treated fairly......If Obama gets elected I think that will go a long way into healing this country's racial divide

PEACE

You must be joking.... Are you for real or are you Jordan with an alias???? You dont get a 400 year headstart especially with the voting rights act of 1965 just being a little over 40 years ago and expect things to be equal? Bernard Hopkins was wrong for what he said. Dammit he is a boxer, he makes his living kicking ass. He is not making policy that will effect your life. So why are you worrying about what b hop said?
