It really makes me laugh that they had to get a black announcer to sit next to the racist Hurricane Carter
hurricane is racist?
that's the word on the street
interesting
To Hornbuckle, every black person on earth is a racist.
As a white racist, he resents it very much.
I forget the director of "The Hurricane," (Norm Jewison?) but it was one of those Jewish directors with a huge "white man's guilt complex" who also made bids to direct "Malcolm X," in addition to trying to coopt other "Black-themed" films and productions.
The sinister "racist" in the Hurricane conveniently lets EVERYONE off the hook. Rather than confronting the uncomfortable reality that everyone had racist ideas at that time (cops, Judges, jury, plumbers, housewives, congressmen, etc.), making one diabolical bigot ringleader excuses audiences from reflecting on their own possible prejudices.
I also heard that Carter was no angel, but "The Hurricane" incorrectly characterized him (along with his mis-guided white "saviors"). All in all, the movie seemed to be a white-wash of complex social issues, transformed into an untrue fantasy of "happy rainbow" of people singing "kum bah yah."
In regards to Carter's dislike of white people, it's not like he never met white folks before and his ideas are all based on unfair stereotypes. He was imprisoned for years, for Chrissakes. For those white folks who feel unfairly catagorized because of Carter's reactions, take out that righteous indignation on those other white people who robbed, imprisoned, and brutalized the man.

obiwan, calling me racist is hilarious. i won't even bother responding to it
and no matter what happens to a person, reacting against a color and not the group that wronged you is foolish. Its equally wrong that some white people treated him unfairly because of his race too, obviously
Sorry: just too easy a call to make, and somebody should make it, because people like you are too numerous and the excuses for others not seeing through them too slim.
Whether Hurricane Carter is a racist or not is really neither here nor there. The really interesting thing is why you would find it so compelling that you can't refrain from commenting on it.
You have a hard-on for complaining about black people.
Charging them with racism is just your pathetic and laughable excuse to wave your white dick around, hoping someone will salute you.
Any one with a brain can see that, lol.
That also explains why you yourself can't.
And why, next time you act from the same neurotic, racist compulsion, you will not see it either.
(I've seen you around, Hornbuckle. You are a typical Angry White Man, and it is obvious from the topics you choose to bring up, and the bile in your posts, the essential bile that is inherent for you in every topic you find compelling.
If you really are against racism, at some point, you should examine the depth of the hostility that overflows in your every post, and why it is so consistently fixated on non-whites.)
it always seems that the most racist black guys have white wives/girlfriends like johnny cochrane, hurricane carter etc. down wit da whiteman but bring on dat white pussy!!!!!!!!
obiwan, i have no idea what the hell you're talking about. Its interesting that you accuse me of predjudice in a diatribe that includes "people like you"
the more i think about it, the weirder your logic is. I think its funny that ESPN juggles their line up to suit Carter, and somehow that makes me a racist?
"Whether Hurricane Carter is a racist or not is really neither here nor there"
and why is that? You don't dispute that he's racist, you just want to use this opportunity to say i'm a worse racist?
It's pretty funny that they wouldn't let the regular announcer, who is white, sit next to the racist Hurricane Carter, who is a racist.
Furthermore, the racist Hurricane Carter hates white people, which makes him a racist. That is why the normal announcer, with white skin, wasn't allowed to sit next to the racist Hurricane Carter (because he, Hurricane Carter, is racist).

Charging them with racism is just your pathetic and laughable excuse to wave your tiny dick around, hoping someone will salute you.

Hurricane carter is not only a rascist piece of shit but a MURDERER. He has a long history of violence and lawbreaking. He has threatened to kill many times and has killed and is in many opinions mentally unstable. He brutally attacked a lady named Carol Kelley in his motel room, all the while laughuing during the assault. It was totally unprovoked as she was actually a muslim woman trying to assist Carter in his case. His arrest record over the years makes Mike Tyson look like Mother theresa.
The movie with Denzell is a sham of a movie and has Micheal Moore level propaganda in it. Carter shoudl have goitten the electric chair, not a movie. He is a scumabag piece of shit and ESPN shoudl be ashamed he was on their program.
bsrizpac, did you see the broadcast?
ESPN brought in a brand-new announcer, who was black, to sit next to Carter. The normal announcer who sits there every other time had to go somewhere else.
You guys are giving Hurricane Carter more power than what he has. He's a nobody in the world of sports and I seriously doubt he could have told the programmers at ESPN that he did not want to sit next to a white guy. I've had my doubts about his innocense after viewing the facts but that does not mean he is a racist, he is more like a murderer who should still be in prison.
look, i made this thread on the spur of the moment, because the line up change really made me laugh, as a genuine reaction. i dont' know for sure that they changed announcers for Carter, but i've been watching ESPN boxing for 5 years and i've never seen that guy
I'll just answer this:
"You have a hard-on for complaining about white people."
No, I don't.
I have a hard-on for complaining about white people who have a hard-on for complaining about blacks, and for making a big to do about "reverse racism" - who are constantly trying to find and talk about apparent instances of it - while the more ubiquitous and institutionalized forms of White Supremacist racism do not compel them to pointed complaint of any kind.
It isn't the same thing. White people complaining about "reverse racism" do so from a position of relative privilege, in bad faith, when the reality is that they don't hold white racism in anything like the same ill regard as black racism. White racism might compel them to a kind of sentimental response - "Oh, honey, isn't that just terrible" - but it does not compel them to action against it. Black racism, or the perception of it, on the other hand, compels these same people to act out and vocally (as on these HC threads).
The reality is, 99% of the time, when whites complain about "reverse racism," it is from a racist motivation; a racist double standard where "black racism" incenses them passionately but "white racism" inspires little more than a sentimental nod.
The reality is that most whites do not really care about white racism, except as an idea; they can and do live with it, with full knowledge of its existence, but without any real complain or emotional objection to it.
That is why White Supremacist traditions undergird most of American life, and why it is possible for whites to employ a double standard even in their complaints about, and objections to, "racism" without other whites ever noticing.
lol, what does any of that have to do with hurricane carter?
