Anthony Joshua a racist?

[Ossyrules]

Looks like a fake

Happened on his Twitter a fake tweet to Amir Khan recently

[Thomastearns]

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.

I agree, its the Thought Police you have to worry about.
Freedom of speech is under attack like never before.

If he said it, albeit carelessly, then its just his opinion. I'm sure it wasn't meant for public consumption in any case.

Others have said and behaved far worse without penalty. Double / treble standards as usual.

Anyway, if he did say it, it is a racist comment, that's just unarguable. BUT, saying something racist doesn't make you a racist, it might have been a joke.

But imagine if someone accused a white boxer of saying someone is a disgrace to the white race, let alone if you added the supior part in.

Then again it could just be more fake news.

There's too much doubt for me to care about this really, I don't like him anyway, and he is the media's golden boy for now, and this doesn't change much.

"that doesn't necessarily mean it's racist in saying that others aren't nothing, he was just thinking his was better."


That's literally the dictionary definition of racism, Edward.


Fury is right though, if he said the same thing towards Wlad, the press would have crucified him.

[lookingaround87]

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.

He doesn't think he is superior as an individual, he thinks he is superior due to his race.

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

Incoherent babble.

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

Irrelevant. He's been exposed. Your continued use of the word 'snitch' and your incoherent comments make it clear you're a black racist who probably also believes blacks are the "superior race". Tell me, do you also complain about blacks being oppressed?

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.

Those are individual examples. We are discussing collectivism now. If a white person thinks whites are superior, or a Chinese person thinks Chinese people are superior, and they express that belief, then you'd have a problem with it.

[Nightmare Roy]

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.

Bitchmove from chambers..snitch

I don't know if it true or not but I know one thing if a white fighter was to say that, it would absolutely be game over for him.

You are very bad at reading or understanding, i guess both.

I wrote numerous times that i have 0 problem with anybody black white or brown with what they think or believe or say.
Why should it bother me if a white person said whites are superior. Anybody can think what they want to think. Same with saying. People are to sensitive. I am against violance, but as far as speech or own oppinion goes, anybody can have his own oppinion.

[Dixonian]

Can't believe anyone buys into this. Why on earth would he randomly contact Eddie Chambers someone who he has no beef with?

You guys are so gullible.

[SpliffTannen]

People losing their shit over a POC saying their race is superior. Ohhhhh. Big fornicating deal. Ain't no different to what white folks been doing for centuries which created an entire system of racism in the real sense of the word. Now white folks cop a sample of some proud POC opinion and want him drawn and quartered. White privilege on full display. Stop being so fragile. POC have had to live with being looked at as inferior for hundreds of years, now you're up in arms over a private Instagram msg from one dude who ain't gonna change the social construct one iota. GTFO. Also Chambers is a straight up snitch

"Stop being so fragile"...proceeds to blame white folks and Chambers.

Sounds about right.

[SpliffTannen]

If they are Joshua's actual words, does it really affect you? Like will it make your life any harder? You're that triggered over some comment, when white folks been perpetuating supremacy in millions of facets of life for centuries. Who gives a sh!t. Boxing fans always clinging to some sh!t that has nothing to do with fighting. These are dudes who punch people for a living. Their job is to inflict pain on their opponent but they also better be 100% PC. They're fighters. Not politicians.

[punchoutsb]

You're the one frothing at the mouth, not me.

"Triggered"

[SpliffTannen]

Not frothing st all. Just pointing out the ludicrous reaction of boxing twitter and forums and sh!t.

And yes. Fvck chambers. Airing out personal msgs. Snitch af. Think of all the private sh!t peklle say everyday. In private. He's airing it out being a whiny soft cock.

[jamamb]

spliff mate your one of the most sensitive here about it. buts thats okay , nothing wrong about being passionate, especially when defending racial superiority claims, no need to deny your emotion

[ewenhay]

It might be fake but I think Eddie jumped in pretty quick there so I have my suspicions . It's a racist comment regardless of the attempts on here to justify or defend it.

Yeah, I was getting a bit carried away last night. Was a bit drunk. Good times.


As you were.

I've not done a full fact check on this yet but I hope to god Anthony Joshua never made these comments.
If it's a P.R campaign to hype him I suggest Joshua's people fire them immediately.
If they're true I would strongly urge Anthony Joshua to stop hanging out with whomever he's hanging out with right away.
If this is who Anthony Joshua really is then it doesn't look good for him regardless of his talent level, it maybe a very short career.
At this point I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt, but he better get his behind out on media right away and start explaining himself.

Often I can't understand what you are saying, but this one is crystal clear!

I always have good intentions just an unconventional way of going about it.

[Evander]

It's only true isn't it.

This doesn't look good for Joshua.

[BAD INTENTIONS]

At what point was your race your race?
IDIOT.

[Enlightened-One]

Team AJ claim his account was hacked. So it was indeed Joshua's account that sent those messages.

Unfortunately, their excuse doesn't entirely clear Anthony's name, because there's no way of knowing whether they're telling the truth or not.

I guess the media and AJ's fans will need to give him the benefit of the doubt, but it’s inevitable that some people, including myself, will remain sceptical, given the fact that Joshua’s media-savvy image is almost too perfect to be true, especially considering the misdemeanours he committed in his youth.

[jamesmcdonnell]

If joshua did say this. He is a twat.

[Ossyrules]

Well never know if his account was truly hacked I guess

[jamamb]

Well never know if his account was truly hacked I guess

ya on the one hand if your a public figure your more vulnerable to this and it can happen, on the other hand if you do say stupid shit you can just excuse it away as being hacked, especially if the 'fake account' response doesnt work

btw ppl dismissing it as fake immedieatly, now id say it doesnt seem like his public persona, but sitting back you may not know what ppl are really like beyond media and shouldnt immediately assume innocence. ill settle for not sure
