read his post again. it is nonsence. race does not need to be brought up for you to know it is there.
I agree with WildWaylon i dont think Billys post is "nonsense" he is just stating facts that have happened in his life that may make him feel aggrieved. Nonsense is a strong word coming from a man that cant even spell it!
we can all sit here analysing spelling and grammatical errors in our post, mate. If i wanted to be picky i can point out the fact that you're missing an or two apostrophe ''don't'' ''billy's'', but that would be getting a little childish now wouldn't it.
Now, you're saying this man may feel aggrieved about his experiences in the armed forces and im saying maybe, just maybe, junior witter feels the same way in his experiences as a boxer.
wildwaylon, please point out where in my post did i say billy bessey's post was racist. My point was that the points that he was making were weak in debating this type of issue.
josh fg makes a good point. i can understand that people may get pissed of when people bring out the race card, but if you live in this country you must be able to see that there is still a race equality problem. unfortunately that may always be there.
Yes Josh does make a good point and that may well be true in some cases - I was answering your quote "race does not need to be brought up for you to know it is there" - That suggests to me you think his comments may contain hidden racist intent, which I cant agree with - Look mate, as I say I am against racism of any kind and on this forum we should all be against it or go elsewhere - We are all part of the human race and thats the only race that matters. Black, White, Brown whatever is simply skin tone.

when i wrote what you quoted, i was not referring to his post it was regarding the point that someone. something along the lines of i hate when people bring up race when race isn't brought up, and i said that race doesn't have to be brought up for you to know it's there. agree with trhe rest of your post though.

A little confused, but thank God we have got that sorted, now we can move on without any bad feelings and maybe challenge each other on boxing issues at some other time.
