Message: [QUOTE="theshed, post: 2529977, member: 2290"] I don't disagree with this, and completely see why people would dislike it. I assure you, so does he. He puts on this character, heavily inspired by Ali, as a marketing ploy. Whether or not it was the right path is questionable but you can't deny its effectiveness. I think this point boarders on racism itself. Showing a people that is still facing huge social inequality that they can be successful is not what makes him racist. Some of his other comments may be considered racist but representing his people isn't a reason to hate someone. I think its a result of you being uncomfortable with them as a people but I don't want to speculate on your personal views. Completely agree with these points. They a idiotic but I still feel its part of marketing himself as a "heel". Combined with a real want to speak about injustice without the required mental ability to pick the right causes to battle for. Though I agree he is doing a poor impression of Ali in front of the press, the bold line is possibly the most naive comment I've seen on this board. Completely incorrect. I've met Mundine a couple times and he was extremely humble and friendly in person. I think his media persona is lame and try hard but it sells tickets so if he's happy to be the bad guy than thats his choice. All that aside though, what careers has he ruined again? [/QUOTE]
