The Enemy Within

I write this particular piece with a great deal of anger. For those who know me, boxing is and has been a major part of my life since I was 7 years old. It began with watching Ali fights in television in the late 70's. Then at the age of 13 I began a 7 year amateur career. The past several weeks have been the darkest in the sports history with the untimely deaths on three great champions. Three weeks ago, ring legend and native Nicaraguan Alexis Arguello took his own life with a gunshot to the head. A week later blood and guts warrior Arturo Gatti was strangled and beaten to death allegedly by his wife in Brazil while he lay passed out in a drunken stupor. If those events weren't tragic enough, Saturday night current Jr. Middleweight champ and former Olympian Vernon Forrest was shot to death in Atlanta in an attempted carjacking. This latest act of savagery perpetrated against one of boxing's good guys further illustrates the sick culture in which many black men choose to engage in. The murder of another black man by soon to be confirmed other black men reminds me of the foolish thinking that the fake black "intelligentsia" subscribes to: That we are still in the civil rights era and that racism and "racial profiling" are the most serious issues facing the black community. The irony is that this thuggery that claimed the life of Denver Broncos player Sean Taylor, Vernon Forrest and countless others by black men creates more so called racial profiling. Who else are you looking for when a black man is gunned down in America these days? The Ku Klux Klan? Their work was done a long time ago. We have proven to be much more effective at eliminating one another.

The pathetic truth is that if you're a black man, the chances of being killed by a white man who is not driving a car drunk is almost zero- you are far safer in predominantly white neighborhoods. While we remain distracted by elitist professors and civil rights junkies who want us to believe that the police are the enemy, take a look around. The enemy is within.

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which has painted a false sense of reality for millions of Ame

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a

Uncovering A Gigantic Royal Scam

Image
The old saying "Too many chiefs and not enough Indians" is by modern standards politically incorrect. However there is a new phenomena that is could take its place. There seems to be too many Kings and Queens and not enough subjects. Peruse Facebook and one will see untold references to "Black Kings" and "Black Queens" which is intended to foster self esteem in the black community. What is wrong with this one may ask? It is built on a ridiculous premise, historical ignorance and grotesque revisionism. For starters, every culture at one time or another has been ruled by monarchs. So by this logic every Anglo British citizen is a King or a Queen since they still have a symbolic monarchy today. Kings and Queens are mere titles-not character traits. Monarchs were selected by either bloodline or bloody conquest. Some of the most dastardly rulers in history were Kings. King John, Herod, Leopold, Caligula are just a few-African rulers were hardly an exception. I
