On a race related note, my car was just broken into and I chased the Mexican who did it away with a golf club. Good times.
This is unfortunately true. I've lashed out at Jewish friends who defend the actions of Joe Leiberman and such telling them they make me embarrassed to be Jewish, but assholes like Leiberman are an embarrassment to Judaism.

White people have been victims of race just as much as black people. Ever heard of the Holocaust?

Let me just start by saying Lebron is an even bigger asshole than I thought. He blames whitey for the aftermath of the decision but not for giving him that plastic crown he wears as king. For the record I don’t recall Kobe blaming whitey for his self-induced drama in Colorado. He never attributed any of it to race, except for the love of the white woman's asshole. Some say he snitched which was supposedly “bad” but what’s worse claiming racism when there is none or not living up to a street code of snitching.
Now let Kool just educate you sport fans for a second.
The real reason why the Black athlete is vilified goes back to emancipation or post slavery times. Jack Johnson - Koolaid’s personal hero along with Nat Turner ( who killed his white slave owners and many others) and in my eyes – unequivocally the most important man in black history post slavery held up the black race before MLK, Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, Booker T Washington, you name him.
Jack was the son of former slaves and was the first black heavyweight champ of the world. He flaunted his status and slept with and married white women at will.
Now all that is fine and dandy but I say most important to me because what Jack did was more than level the playing field. Whites had been saying all along that Blacks were Inferior and to FINALLY PROVE their point they finally gave Jack a crack at fighting the best former white heavy weight champ at the time (Jim Jefferies) who had previously refused to fight a negro.
The United States sanctioning bodies billed the fight:
“THE FIGHT OF THE CENTURY: White Supremacy vs. Black Inferiority”
"Jim, you must win for the white race. You MUST." This was the never‑ending plea of the white public.
Before the fight, Billy Jordan, the leading ring announcer of the day, boldly introduced Jeffries "as the great white unbeaten heavyweight champion of the world", Johnson had asked the Judges not to permit that announcement since he was the heavyweight Champ.
Johnson was the champion, but he only shrugged when they told him Jeffries (the white guy) had demanded to enter the ring last. With his patented smile firmly in place, and wearing a gray silk robe and royal blue tights held up by an American-flag belt, Johnson was first into the ring. There was only one shady corner and Johnson laid claim to it. When it was Jeffries turn, he entered wearing a gray business suit and gray golf cap, which he quickly shed, revealing a pair of natty purple trunks and an American-flag belt. Their gloves were skintight leather and weighed four ounces each.
By the time both men were in the huge 28-foot ring, it was estimated that the day's temperature had hit 110 degrees. After Jeffries made his grand entrance, he went to Johnson and asked if he would mind tossing a coin to see which got the shady corner. Johnson declined to toss, but then he graciously offered the corner to Jeffries, who quickly took it. By agreement, the two men did not shake hands.
During the fight Jeffries trainer ( a man named Corbett) who openly hated all Blacks, Johnson more than most, and spoken often about his theory that Blacks were rendered useless fighters when enraged, screamed a steady stream of racial insults at the black champion. Johnson turned every Corbett insult aside with a smile, usually just before or just after belting Jeffries. That Johnson refused to be baited only further enflamed the ex- white champion.
In the fourth, Johnson began hammering his left jab into Jeffries’ reddening face. "I can go on like this all afternoon, Mr. Jeff," he said, politely.
Opening round five, Jeffries’ breathing began to quicken. Johnson began to score with uppercuts to the face, leaving Jeffries's features well marked and blood leaking from the mouth. At the close of round five, his was the weary walk of the condemned man stumbling up a gallows’ steps.
In the sixth, a Johnson punch ripped open an old scar over Jeffries's left eye; gushing blood began to impair his vision. Johnson went after the cut, widening it, closing the eye. By the eighth round, Jeffries, knowing he was getting sorely whipped, began to throw desperation punches, but he was exhausted and the few blows that did land were weak and ineffective. Johnson acknowledged the weak assaults only with a flash of his golden teeth.
During the ninth round, Corbett yelled: "Make the big stiff fight." Johnson laughed, and remarked: "That's right. Yeah, that's what they all say."
At the end of the round, before he sat down, Jeffries snarled at Corbett: “Shut up. All that stuff out of your mouth just makes him hit harder.”
The crowd soon was aware that the bleeding and partially blinded Great White Hope had no chance . The only remaining hope was that Jeffries would go the full distance, 45 rounds. No one wanted to see their hero on his broad back with a Black man standing over him.
By round 12, Jeffries mouth was cut inside; his nose was broken and bleeding; he was cut over his left eye; his face and eyes were swollen and covered with blood. And he was still chewing gum.
At the bell to open the 13th, Johnson came quickly from his corner; Jeffries' approach to center ring was more reluctant. Chewing fiercely, he seemed barely able to stand. His corner men, Corbett and the others, had urged him to stay on his stool, but he had refused. He had told them that he would continue to fight until Johnson knocked him out. The crowd screamed for the towel to be tossed in, but Rickard, either fearing for his life or wanting to create as much fight film as possible, refused to stop the fight.
The 14th round was intense and brutal. Johnson punished his helpless opponent without pause; almost out on his feet, Jeffries refused to fall. Staggering back to his corner, he was barely conscious, on his feet only through the tremendous force of his courage and will. At one point in the round, as he battered his challenger, Johnson asked: "How do you feel, Jim. How do you like that?" After taking three more lefts, Jeffries mumbled: "They don't hurt." As the round ended, the writers leaped up, crowd surged forward, ready to invade the ring. They wanted it ended before Jeffries was knocked out.
The hammer had hardly struck the bell to open the 15th when Johnson, who had enough of his own taunt and thrash tactics, charged across the ring, signaling that playtime was over. His first punch, a shattering blow to the jaw, sent Jeffries tumbling out of the ring. Well-meaning friends sent the dazed challenger tumbling back inside the ropes.
Praying for divine intervention, Rickard ignored the rule’s violation; he picked up the count from the timekeeper. Fans shouted for Jeffries to stay down, but he refused, rising just before Rickard could reach 10. Johnson dropped him again with a rain of hard blows. Hardly had Jeffries gained his feet this time, when a left‑right combination draped him over a lower rope, leaving him hanging half out of the ring.
The reaction of the horrified crowd was silence . It was as though the people had just watched a favored and much loved thoroughbred fall, break his leg, and then be destroyed. Quietly, sadly, they claimed their weapons and filed out of the arena. Most took the sensible approach and headed for the nearest saloon. Across the nations, thousands of other men who had crowded the fronts of newspaper offices to hear news of the fight found their own bars, there to brood and think ugly thoughts. The emotions laid naked by the fight were real, and now uncovered, in some cases would prove deadly.
Wrote London after the fight: "Once again has Johnson sent down to defeat the chosen representative of the white race and this time the greatest of them. And as of old, it was play for Johnson...It was not a great battle after all, save in its setting and significance...Johnson played as usual...And he played and fought a white man, in the white man's country, before a white man's audience...The greatest fight of the century was a monologue delivered to twenty thousand spectators by a smiling Negro who was never in doubt and never serious for more than a moment at a time..
Two hours after the fight, Johnson boarded a special train headed for Chicago. He and his female attendants partied all night.
Many people died following this fight. Angry Whites were enraged and started killing blacks and riots ensued as fighting broke out.

It's already been reported that 3 million $ went to the B&G, which was by far the biggest portion, and the other 3 million $ went to other charities..
The dog analogy had nothing to do with the money part..I compared the two, because Gilbert viewed Lebron as a pet, as a slave, like he was his master..it wasn't meant to be a complex analogy, just a simple statement..
I can't speak on this from a personal standpoint..while I am not Caucasian, I'm also not African American, and I wouldn't feel comfortable speaking personally about something that I have no familiarity with, since neither I nor my ancestors went through this..I can only take the opinions of credible African Americans, such as Lebron James, Jesse Jackson and Michael Wilbon(just to name a few), since they can obviously relate a lot more than I can..Michael Wilbon: For those who feel Gilbert's reaction was indeed like that of a master being ticked off he'd lost a slave, LeBron isn't being judged, GILBERT is being judged. LeBron's status is that of a millionaire many times over. I know he's not a slave. Gilbert reacted like he owned LeBron, like LeBron was his to what he wanted to do in perpetuity. And Rev. Jackson ain't the only black person who feels this way. I felt that way when I heard it and joked about it, though I did not write it. Perhaps I should have...And I've traded dozens of e-mails and text messages with black people, mostly black men, who feel the same way...that Gilbert's reaction told a ton about who HE is. Look, the criticism of LeBron, most of it, is totally legit. You can come at LeBron from a number of angles and express disappointment, just on the face of his actions. But we're not talking about LeBron's actions, we're talking about GILBERT's...If LeBron is a bad a person as Gilbert says, why was Gilbert trying to desperately to retain him and pay him $120 million? LeBron's actions were okay, as long as he was Gilbert's boy...but the moment he went somewhere else, LeBron was poison...Rev. Jackson was giving voice to something most people--most white people--don't have access to, which is to say the daily thoughts of black people in America when they're not famous and don't have shoe deals. I haven't talked to a black man yet, not one, who didn't feel in some way shape or form that Gilbert's reactions gave us a view into who he is. I don't expect everybody to agree with that. We all have different points of view, as should be the case in America. But that damn sure is mine, and that of a ton of people I know.
Modern day African Americans have no familiarity with slavery either, they only act like they do to victimize themselves. I know as much about being a slave as Jesse Jackson, Mike Wilbon, or Al Sharpton do. As a matter of fact, my ancestors have experienced more recent brutal persecution than black people have.
Jacob1983, the guy BUMP was immitating, is a 25 year old virgin.
if he was born in 83 wouldn't that make him 27?
Idk if he was born in 1983, that's just his username, but come to think of it he's prolly 26 by now.
I have a simple observation which sets up the reason why Blacks and Whites had differences in their perception of Lebron...
- Whites saw power and attention as the issue for Lebron going to the Heat.
- Blacks bought the "do what's best for you and your family" schtik for Lebron going to the Heat.
It's much easier to believe a person from your own race when they say "I did it for my family" than someone of a different race.
Where did he reveal this?
IronMexican is the guy to ask about that.Where did he reveal this?
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if he just revealed it to everybody. He's not afraid to let anyone know about his personal life. It was either him or Darrin, one time in the club, revealed that they got molested when they were 15 or something
I can't believe the guy who broke into my car barely got away because I couldn't hear the alarm fast enough over the sound of this lovely song that I was listening to during the robbery:
Race also played a role in his man-child size and uncanny athletic ability.
You're welcome, you piece a' ...
I could see Darrin writing an essay about how he knew he was bi when he was molested at the age of 15 and enjoyed it.
Time for a new troll this one is pretty ty.
Still funnier than anything Rocketfan has ever posted
I Bleed Rockets Red
Don't take it personally, just do better next time. If you want me to help just ask.

I'm sure you do, but they have products for that.
They have products for bleeding red? Weird, I always thought bleeding red was normal.I'm sure you do, but they have products for that.
