Why do some black people like Chad Johnson have so much resentment when a white athlete does good?

Question

Chad Johnson says that Michael Phelps has no competition when he faces the best swimmers from China, Japan, Britain, and all the rest of the countries in this world. He says that Phelps needs to "come down to the ghetto" where he will get beat.

Why is it that SOME black people are so bothered by a white athlete having success? Is it because they are racists who think their race is superior to every other race in everything?

Answer 1

Awwww dude c'mon Chad is a ignorant person that will say and do anything for the camera. The majority of blacks have no problem with the success of white players why ? because there are so many many good blacks in all sports. What the h**l does the ghetto have to do with swimming ? Chad has accomplished what he set out to do look at your question. How many blacks have come up to you and said they are the best in sports ? why would you even entertain that thought in the first place unless you your self is a racist. Black are not a minority best in sports, they are the majority so why should they have a problem with whites. How many black guys play for your team if you have one. Do you root just for the whites making that touchdown or blacks too. A lot of people are rooting for Phelps not because he is white but because he is American !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!     C'mon dude don't act like Chad that I find to be mentally unbalanced and when we discuss c**p he said gives him power.. Tell me something do you feel there are more blacks in sports or whites or even and which do you feel is the Best in all sports since you ask this question. But to give you an honest answer i would never have thought blacks were BOTHERED by white athletes why should they be dude ?

Answer 2

grow up

it's not a race issue

he had a problem with animals being faster than him......he just talks to get attention

and since Michael Phelps is about the biggest name in sports this week, 85 used his name to get attention/publicity

honestly....he's just having a good time

why is it that you, a white kid, have such a problem with a black man that you have to stoop to calling him a racist?

is it because you are so bothered by a black athlete having success and attention that you need to post questions like this to get attention of your own?

I'll bet you can't even appreciate how I turned that on you huh....

Answer 3

Chad does this all for jokes and the limelight... even the ESPN analysts didn't seemed bothered by it so why are you... and Chads right some of thw worlds best athletes never do have a chance to show themselves to people that it matters too... but when I saw it yesterday I was like " oh god this is gonna end up like the Imus thing isn't it?" just like Chad be Chad like Manny be's Manny

Answer 4

Answer 5

Chad Johnson is a total moron, and if you take anything that comes out of his mouth seriously, then you're a moron too.  His statements aren't necessarily representative of black people, they are representative of people with IQs under 80.

Don't worry man, it's a joke he wasn't serious.

Answer 10

It's Chad Johnson.

After all his BS and stupid celebrations, and his crying, are you really that shocked he said some stupid c**p like that?

Guys like him always want people to come down to the "ghetto" and see the "real" athletes. They always want to tell you about how you would get beat down in the streets if you go to their neighborhoods, and how the best basketball, football, and now, swimmers are all there but their economic conditions and society keep them from leaving the streets of their slums.

So they stand on the corners listening to rap music and drinkin "40s" all day waiting for someone to beat down from the richer neighborhoods.

OH, DON'T ANYONE GET OFFENDED BY WHAT I JUST SAID,

I WAS ONLY JOKING!!!!!

IT WAS A JOKE, OMG!!!

Answer 11

Its because he has been trained from birth to "hate whitey" and live off wellfare. duh

Answer 12

Answer 13

Chad is a jokester. He was kidding the whole time. Did you hear what Lebron James and Dwane Wade said about Phelps?

Answer 14

Answer 15
