    The KKK isn't a legitimate organization TM don't be a fucking smart ass you know God damned well that isn't what I am talking about.
    Really
    This was Limbaugh proudly proclaimed himself as representing the "angry white male",and there was a stretch of highway being cleaned by the Klan.
    Are you that naive that you dont know about the huge white Supremacist underground the 80's gave birth to?
    For god sakes,they have their own music festivals,all over the country

    ....I don't want "White Supremacists" coming to my aid if something race related ever happened to me. Limbaugh is different, he's a talk show host and if you think what Bernard Hopkins said was OK then what Rush says is OK.


    All I would like is a level playing field....I don't want crosses burned in people's yards or anything.

    But feel free to expound upon how bad you think my views are, I don't think you or Kirkland have said anything near as sensational as you need to. Please portray me as a idiotic racist bigot....because it's so true

    All I wanted to do is to call out someone for saying something inappropriate and just so long as Bernard knows he doesn't need to do that to drum up excitement about the fight is all that needs to happen....is that bad? Is it too harsh? Am I being unreasonable by expecting similar consequences for black people as for white people....you know most enlightened people would say "Hey, he wants everyone to be treated equal, that's awesome, great job, way to go!"

    But no, I get berated by you two, thanks, I appreciate it, your arguements against me are so needed and well based in reality....keep up the good work

    Oh whatever Limbloat says is okey dokey,he has a right to say it
    Of course I have a right to respond as well
    Ill admit,Bernard sometimes has a hard time getting his head out of Germantown/Graterford
    But to use him to excuse the wild rantings of someone who is paid to talk,and talk alone is silly
    Interestingly enough,something to consider
    I drop a white boy in the middle of Germantown
    And a black boy in the middle of Society Hill
    Which 7 year old do you think is more likely to get fed and cared for?
    (I know you allready know the awnser,but I doubt you say it)

    I didn't try to compare Rush and Hopkins, I compared Rush to Jackson and Sharpton.


    I'm not making the arguement that everything Rush says is OK nor that everything Hopkins says is bad...so far as I know this is the only bad thing Bernard has said and my whole arguement was that it was wrong and he should have known better because he has been in the public eye for quite some time and he's become a promoter and he should know better.


    Why are you trying to hammer home a point that by this time is absolutely worthless....yeah so Bernard grew up poor and in a bad town, same town you did apparently but hey this is fucking boxing, show me some boxers that were handed everything and grew up rich and in great neighborhoods.....and how many times does this kind of blatant racist remark surface from such a popular fighter

    Bernard was wrong for saying what he said, he doesn't need any punishment but he should know better and that is all I am saying so if you're going to argue with that go right ahead but know that by arguing with me you're either saying "There is nothing wrong with what Hopkins said" or "He needs to be punished" and I think both of those are wrong, all that needs to be said is that he should know better and don't let it become a habit

    Show me a great fight that was sold nicely?
    Your right this is boxing
    Cooney/Holmes got sold nastily
    Ali/Frazier has only recently been resolved between the two principles
    It happens all the time
    As far as Limbloat,your compairing the god of the "Republican Revolution" to two guys nobody has really listened to in 20 years

    Yeah I know the awnser
    Our jobs got downsized and we like mountains
    It costs a fortune to live anywhere near Philly unless you want an unmaintained apartment
    I miss Philly,but I couldnt afford to live there comfortably
    I just dont make that kind of scratch
    Not the awnser you were hoping for,but there it is.
    When we used to hit the Zoo we routinely stopped at the Checkers on Broad Street,Ooooooooooooooooo smack to your point
    Last time the wife visited her folks she trained at Fraziers,ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo o bigger smack to your point
