If you are watching a boxing match between a black boxer and a white boxer, who do you cheer for? If two strangers are fighting, one black and one white, both are of equal strength, each one is asking for help, you don't know who is wrong, which one would you be inclined to help? Be honest please.

If they're strangers of equal strength and there isn't any contextual information to indicate whether there is a "victim" and an "aggressor", then I'm staying out of it. Unless, of course, it looks like someone's going to get majorly screwed up or dead. Then I'll call the cops.
Then again, I'm of the belief that sometimes, only a "fair" fight can settle some things and I respect their choice to do so.

Color would have very little to do with my response. What would contribute would be other surface indicators. Would I cheer on Tyson? No I would support a purple, blue, green, or rainbow colored boxer before that overtly arrogant and self centered embodiment of the violence humans are capable. Sugar Ray Leonard, as a decent and fairly intelligent person would quickly receive my backing. As to the men on the street, I would lend my support to the man who appeared to be the victim in the situation, but would also intercede only to the extent of stopping both men at least long enough to ascertain what was going on, and attempt to determine both sides of the story. Having been a professional bouncer, I am aware, perhaps as others are not, that ******* are to be found everywhere, and color has never been indicative of a persons tendency to be one.

i dont know. thats not a fair question. im neither black nor white. and i am not racist or bias against either. well for the boxing match, if i was forced to watch it and root for either person, id root for whoever is being degraded by the other boxer the most. second question, if someone asked for my help, and i dont know the fault, i would just run and call the police because i would sense that if i chose one side the other will come at me too.

Fighting is disgusting.
I never route for anyone in a fight.
If it's on TV, I change the channel immediately; if I saw a fight on the street, I'd probably get away.
You picked the wrong thing to get at whatever you're trying to get at.

boxing match... depends on if the black guy looks cool, i'd vote for him. street fight.... both people asking for help? i'd tell em to screw off if they both need help they shouldn't be fighting.

I would not be inclined to help either, just try to separate them and see if I could mediate.
