I dont have a problem with it.

I dislike all the rascist talk. If joshua thinks black people are superior to white, than why not. He can think what he wants to think. Its called freedom.

I hate violance and when somebody attacks somebody because of race. But thinking you are superior and you proud of your race. 0 problem with that.

The less I read or hear from boxers social media, the better.

I care how their training is going.
I care about who they are using for sparing.
I care about injuries.
I care about fitness and weight.

I don't care about trash talk and opinions.
That is for them.

1). This has nothing to do with white people, Joshua simply said "superior black race", meaning superior to all other races.
2). Would you take this stance if a white person said "superior white race"?

This is not about what he "thinks", it's about him expressing it, whilst being a public figure. It severely damages his reputation if he really believe this. Yes he has the freedom to believe that, but his nice guy image goes out the window if he really does believe it.

And again, would you take this stance if a white person said the equivalent?

You're obviously a black racist. He didn't say he thinks he's superior, he said blacks are the "superior race". You're very dense.

The idea that one race is more superior than another is racist.

The Nazi's believed that in their superior race and a racial hierarchy.

Freedom of speech is not an excuse for racists to spread racist propaganda.

Personally-speaking, I doubt that AJ said those things, but if he did, then the UK public, Sky Sports and Matchroom would almost certainly break ties with him.

he said it was fake because of the spacing but thats how joshuas real account looks too, so i dont really get his explanation there

chambers posted this vid but even if it came from ajs account he couldve been hacked. sounds like oddly extreme messages someone would come out with tomake a person look bad

He is black and since he said blacks are the superior race, that makes him superior in his mind, since he is black and part of that superior race.

You re obviously very stupid calling somebody a black racist, just because he said everybody can think what they want to think.

You say he is a public figure. True. But that were private messages between him and chambers and just a snitchmove by chambers.

A white person can think or say they the best on earth
A chinese person can think or say they the best on earth
Anybody can say and think what they want. If charlie z thinks he is the best boxer ever p4p, than so be it, than in his mind he is the goat of boxing. Do i have to aggree, no. But does it bother me no. Anybody can think what they want.

Aj said it.

Racist. Life aint that simple. It aint all black and white. Racist or non racist. Mean or nice. People love to put everything in 1 box. He us racist. He is a nice guy. He is intelligent. He is dumb. Life is more complicat than just left and right. The mind is free and if aj thinks what he thinks than it is his own mind. Its his business wether its racist or not doesnt play a role. As long as he respects other and is non violant i have 0 problem with what he is saying.

If and it a big IF Joshua did say this. Then his goody goody boy next door image is done. He'd lose sponsorships and half his fan base.
I do not think it was his account

Joshua seems way to smart to publicly make a statement like that. Even if he thought it wa s true. What a detrimental mindset though. I'm quite sure its a fake account, as saying something like that is near career suicide.

Praying it was a fake account, that's what y'all have come to. When people have been pointing out AJ being fake for years. Already know his fucked up past, but Sir AJ gets a pass for any and everything. Now we are supposed to believe someone hacked AJ and started shit with an absolutely forgotten fighter who hasn't mattered in a decade and was barely known even then? Lol. Like the folks that actually know AJ have said all along, "The real AJ is coming out". Let's see how much longer fans choose to remain blind about this guy.

Long winded rebuttals nor euphemistic language can change opinions or help his cause. Just face it, he fucked up big time. The real AJ been hiding so long he had to pop up sometime.

I've said all along Joshua is a dickhead. I was right.

Unfortunately the idiotic British public bought into the bullshit.

I can't see this affecting his career much. Black towards whites (and other races tbf)always to get a pass (Hopkins comments towards Calzaghe, Mayweathers racism towards Pacquiao).

If it was Fury or Povetkin talking about white supremecy or a Muslim like Khan talking about Muslim supremecy their career would be over.

I get the "everyone has flaws... he's only human" argument, but whoever posted that racist comment did so with the sole intention to cause offence.

That cannot be excused, because it wasn't an innocent mistake.

If AJ did indeed write those words, which I sincerely doubt, then he'll almost certainly get vilified by the UK media and his days of earning big bucks will be over.

I hope this is bullshit. I'll wait until we know before commenting further. If it was true it wouldn't affect my opinion of him as a fighter but I would be very disappointing if he'd let himself down in this way.

I think everybody is a racist, if I hear what Daffy sometimes says, or what Wilder sometimes says.
I'm usually more annoyed by people claiming someone else is a racist as by the so called racists themself.

Odd, but true.
