Hustla - not sure if you said that to be funny, but that is one hell of an interesting statement, socialogically speaking. Not very many white people would think any black man would have a problem with white people moving into a black neighborhood.

Point is, I think you haven't heared from many Black people on this subject.

i have seen people accused of being racist for similar posts on other message boards, i must agree though, this conversation has gone very well and shows that there has been progress |

if MMA was an all black sport and a white man said he wants to see more white people in the sport then it wouldnt be racist at all! so he wants to see some people of his own culture involved in a sport he enjoys to watch NOT RACIST

I agree that it isn't racist to feel that way, but I also agree with Audi that many people would take a white man saying that as racist.
Let me try and explain. Something that is a reality for white people, is some people are very quick to accuse you of racism, and it's hard to defend yourself. How can you prove it? If you don't like someone and they happen to be black, then you are accused of not liking them because they are black. |

Yep, don't forget Rashad Evans !!
