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.
