There hasn't been a black american male Olympic Gold medalist in boxing since David Reid all the way back in 1996! , 24 years ago!
The 2004 Olympics, and Andre Ward disagree.
Erm last time I checked he was mixed raced. (Half white half black)
Calling him black is just as dumb as calling him white.

He was adopted by White people. He's Black.
Why don't you just admit you were wrong? It ain't the end of the world to be wrong about something.
If I were you I would've just said "Oh yeah I forgot Andre Ward"

Lets be real Eastern Europeans, the British, and the Mexicans are clearly the most dominant forces in boxing right now.

Pretty sure his dad is white? Not that it means he's not a black dude

Nope you're wrong.
Google his Irish-American white Dad.
(You can tell by looking at him anyway)

Like Maliagnaggi said, Black Americans are getting worse every year.
The fact that there hasn't been a black male American Olympic Gold medalist in boxing since 1996 speaks volumes. Compare that to how many Eastern Euros have won Gold in that time frame!
There's been a Black Male American Olympic Gold Medalist in 2004. I just f*cking told you that.
The fact that you won't acknowledge this fact speaks volumes about you.

Nah, his father situation has been very well covered, that white guy is his dad
Doesn't change the fact that he's a Black fighter that won a Gold Medal in 2004.
I never knew his Biological Dad was White, but it's not that surprising given his lighter skin tone.

So Andre is white because he was adopted by white parents?

Either way he's obviously black. As black is the color of your skin and really nothing more.
Which goes to prove, it really doesn't matter.

The story on his dad has been done to death, I'm surprised people don't know he came from a white guy's balls

Nah, if it's just on skin colour then he's some sort of light moka brown or something. There are much darker Indian dudes
