Would you be racist if you found some black guy in the street and yelledKietotheworld wrote:In the first film, he lost to a black guy, in the 3rd film, again, he lost to a black guy, and only beat him in the second fight because of a black guy.
Sixth film he also lost to a black guy. If the films were racist he'd have beaten all of them.
"I'm gonna knock you cold, nigga!"
Regardless of whether or not you lost?
Also, in the sixth film it was a tie.
Have I created a whole new topic out of sheer spam?

So he's racist for fighting black people, even though most heavyweight boxers are actually black? Wouldn't it be more racist if he only fought white people? Surely if Stallone was racist, he wouldn't want to employ black people to be in his films.ghhyrd wrote:Would you be racist if you found some black guy in the street and yelledKietotheworld wrote:In the first film, he lost to a black guy, in the 3rd film, again, he lost to a black guy, and only beat him in the second fight because of a black guy.

No, it wasn't.Also, in the sixth film it was a tie.
Split Decision.

No
I agree
O rly?
Coming to think of that first point, it is unavoidable. If you take your fights as they come, and most are black, you will be called racist. If you choose to fight absolutely no black people, you will be called racist. If you choose to fight no white people, you will still be called racist.
Not really, that is like saying wouldn't it be more racist if the KKK only burned white people.
I didn't say Stallone was racist, are they his films and not wanting to employ them wouldn't really matter.
I never said the films, Rocky, or Stallone were racist. I simply said that I simply said that it has subtle racist implications and should be called 'Big Black Beat-Up'
I must have got the ending for the last one confused with this

But if the character rocky only fought white people, people would be claiming that the message of the films is that black people aren't good enough to compete against Rocky.Not really, that is like saying wouldn't it be more racist if the KKK only burned white people.
They are his films, he writes them and directs them. Are you saying the subtle racist implications are not deliberate?I didn't say Stallone was racist, are they his films and not wanting to employ them wouldn't really matter.

Honestly I think you're seeing a deliberate pattern where there isn't one. The biggest arsehole in the entire series is Tommy Gunn, who is white, and the biggest moron is Paulie, who is also white.

While there is some truth in what you say, I personally think that it would be more racist to spare all the white people from brain damage and injuries by going on a black beat-up.Kietotheworld wrote:But if the character rocky only fought white people, people would be claiming that the message of the films is that black people aren't good enough to compete against Rocky.Not really, that is like saying wouldn't it be more racist if the KKK only burned white people.

Blimey, I didn't know he wrote and directed them.
I'm not saying the subtle racist implications are deliberate- I am smply a sad mathematician with an overly analytic mind used to pickng out patterns and sequences. As wlel as taking topics completely off track and making useless points.
But him writing does smoewhatexplain the propogandic elements (him defeting a 7 foot tall Russian with the punch of a shotgun, who managed to kill the formre champ in teh ring).
Ahh so many spelling errors- it hurts my eyes!

There were scorch marks on the original paintwork from the 1812 War, the entire place was whitewashed to cover them over, and it sort of caught on.
It was not the first, nor the last time that Whitewash was involved with that building.
Hmmm.. according to Wiki, that's actually not true, I'll have to check this out....
