Would you classify Taylor as an Uncle Tom?

I am also a born and raised Southerner, but have lived in rural PA for the last year. I will return to NC in Jan. This town is all caucasion. No blacks or latinos. The only time I hear any racist remarks is when I go back to NC!

Well, you're going to finds pockets of racism everywhere. Granted, due to the history of the South, you will run across it; but not everywhere. I'm in Nashville, at the moment, and find fewer racists than their used to be when I was growing up....fewer by far.

Or when you log onto the internet

LOL! LOL!!

What's cool about PA is you can find a boxing ring in even the small towns. Whereas in NC baskeball courts are everywhere, but good luck on finding a ring. For lack of blacks and latinos to pick on the locals mess with the Amish!

Nah, it says a lot about the intelligence of people replying to it. This is the fun of a thread like this, because it reveals so much about the narrow view of those posters.

Look at how in only your second sentence, you bring "UK" into it. Did I mention the UK anywhere in this thread? No, I did not. Relevance: nil. Oh, I forgot... people outside of the US aren't allowed to have an opinion on boxing, right?

If your a white man, living in the UK, you have no say, opinion on who is an uncle tom and who isnt. Thats what im saying, you can have an opinion, but if you said that **** to a group of black folks, you would most definately be viewed as a ****in moron.

DAMN QUAKERS!!

So I do have a say... yet I don't have an opinion?

Like I say, I was asking the question. It's either yes or no.

Why you ****** *****. You gave me red karma? Hope you choke on your mum's spotted ****.

I know America has never really gone big on irony, but this is something new.

In the Lounge recently there were lots of anti-Brit threads like "do you think Brits are gay?" and so on. So I did my own thread as a parody of that. It seems it went over some people's heads.

Return Castle Wolfenstein one of my favorite games ever, but when I would go online, you would run into some racist ass people, who flip the "N" word like crazy, and make black jokes 24/7 on there. I use to hate playing with those guys, Americans, Candains, French, and the Bristish (werent as bad).

[vB Martin]

wow. this is a totally racist thread. If he was white and practiced good manners would this even be thought of?

[ferocity]

Possibly controversial question, but it's gotta be asked, right?

I like the guy, but seeing him being interviewed by Merchant on Saturday night he came across to me as HBO's new house boy, a guy who gets the nod in (three) close fights because he's got a nice smile and doesn't get "uppity" like Hopkins and Wright.

Check out the interview with Larry again - every other line is "Yes, suh!" It's almost as if he's trying to call on a media lineage with Step'n'Fetchit, only without the thin vineer of satirical intent.

I'm not saying it's bad, but he's the sort of guy PBDS would describe as "one of the good negros". I can quite imagine that he'll get to equal or even surpass Hopkins's 20 defences record just as long as he goes up to Jim "God bless America!" Lampley and say "I'sa been a good bwoy today, boss!"










I've gone too far, haven't I?

hey its ali or is it bryan gumbal?

have you seen the post fight interview? make him mad and lets see what he tells you? look at garry shaws post fight interview and look at taylors interview and ask yourself whos the puppet? sure ain't taylor

uncle tom, i see no uncle tom, did you see the fight? everytime winky wanted to touch gloves taylor refused, that shows a lot of tough charector.

taylor said it best and it can be used here "i don't care what he thinks of me...man...im rich...im a million aire...i don't care what he says...!"
