In fact people that bring this up could be seen as racist themselves, they're singling out Kovalev when Tyson, Hopkins and Joshua among many others have said pretty much the same thing.
Are Tyson, Hopkins and Joshua classed as racist ?
No they're not are they, however by the standards society sets for everybody else they should be.
AJ arguably received more criticism via social media for his racist remarks (in that poem he read) than Krusher did for his similarly unacceptable remarks.
And I feel that Bernard Hopkins was aggressively ridiculed for his “white boy” remarks.
I honestly can’t recall Mike Tyson’s racist remarks, but he was pretty much condemned for admitting to beating up Robin Givens, and for also being a convicted rapist. He was once one of the most despised famous people on the planet.
That said, it’s unfortunate that for those classed as millennials or generation z, the definition of racism has changed, due to their far-left political ideology, where they seriously believe that black people can’t be racist.
Here’s how I define the term racism (the old-school meaning of the word):
•
“Racism is when someone is discriminated against (singled out) because of their race, the colour of their skin, their nationality, their accent or first language, or their ethnic or national origin. Racism is a hate crime and is illegal.”
And this is the so-called “modern” far-left definition of the same word:
•
“Racism presupposes the ability to control a significant segment of the population economically, politically and socially by imposing law, covenant and restrictions on their lives. Black people had (or have) no capacity to do that. They can be bigoted or prejudiced, but not racist.”
Therefore, according to the modern interpretation, certain demographics can get away with saying offensive things that others can’t! It's unfair, but the media supports this stance, which means eventually, everyone will start using the new definition.
Anyway, this doesn’t mean that Sergey Kovalev should be given a free pass for his racist conduct, because that’s simply moronic!
Put it this way, I repeatedly quoted Krusher’s racist behaviour, because I thought it was a noteworthy recent development, and the moderators immediately removed my posts. And I was then accused of being racist by others, just for quoting Sergey’s words verbatim.
