For example, Carl "The Truth" Williams wasn't. He was just another boxer, and he got his fucking head handed to him a few times. So much for "The Truth" as that clueless narcissist put it. At least you can excuse him for trying to psych himself and hype himself. It's gotten much worse since Carl retired (and died).
Another boxer calls himself Floyd "Money" Mayweather because, yes, he can make $40 million for NOT knocking out his opponent, but just being flashy for 12 rounds. Muhammad Ali did have some very spectacular KO's before his fragile hands rendered him a "go the distance" guy.
Anyway, there's a racist line that goes, "You can take 'em out of the jungle, but..."
And it's very hard NOT to agree with it, when you encounter "black celebrity culture," which seems to involve beating the crap out of women, acting like pimps, and not only engaging in insane fights inside filthy topless clubs but endangering peoples' lives in a fucking Fatburger restaurant.
The news the other day was that Floyd "Money" Mayweather got into a fight at one of these not-so-classy places (not all fighters seem to care about a healthy diet...just ask Chris "Fat Fuck" Arreola). Fatburger apparently caters mainly to ignorant, loud-mouthed black idiots. There are a lot of rowdy bars that the "high toned" visit and trash each night, and Bar-B-Q chicken restaurants that are almost all-black because they have a lot of good-paying government jobs and they don't have to eat KFC out of a bucket no more. Fine, if you can behave. But look at this black eye (!) to the black race:
Some rapper asshole I never heard of walks up and gets into a fight with Floyd. Why? He saw a Tweet or an Instgram photo or some shit, where his wife was bragging about knowing Floyd. He instantly thinks that Floyd may have been sleeping with his wife, or flirting with her, or MIGHT one day pork her. Whatever...he starts yapping at Floyd, and chairs began to fly, and since these cowardly pimp assholes all have "entourages" the "entourages" began to scuffle. Floyd can take care of himself. He's already been jailed for a violent attack on his own woman.
Fortunately nobody, including innocent bystanders, were hurt by flying chairs or anything.
. As bad as Viley Virus and Justin Bieber are...they don't throw chairs at Fatburger. They don't pop caps into people. They don't get into fights on elevators. They don't have rap sheets for going to jail on domestic violence charges.
But as the population continues to blacken, and the idea of celebrity is Chris Brown, or some bitch throwing punches in an elevator, or these idiots carrying on with their illiterate babble...our news will be more and more about violent black celebrities and their infantile inability to control themselves. Who needs THIS shit atop junk like "Kimye" and their vanity and poor taste? Atop the already vomitatious and unavoidable rap garbage that you know hear in stores and restaurants.
Years ago, Godfrey Cambridge and others joked or cautioned about stereotypical behavior..."it's bad for our people!" Now? Now these people are hardly a minority in some places. In some cities, Black and Latino people are the majority, and they resent Whitey for imposing any rules about conduct, quiet, or behaving properly in public. Not to mention "minor" things like talking back in movie theaters, holding loud parties in public parks, or driving around with shitty music blaring at high volume...you know, "cultural" issues, like "don't be messin' wid mah culture."
Yeah, this sounds racist...and I don't for a minute want to exclude the hideous white people called "rednecks" or "Southerners" or just "white trash" who can be just as loud and violent. But even the fucking hillbilly idiots (country singers) who make it big don't seem to spend their time brawling in a burger joint and punching out their women and bragging about it. Not as much as the black celebrities do.
Did you read how Mayweather told his side of the story to "Necole Bitchie?" How clever, the black ignorant version of "Perez Hilton?" Take a celebrity name and dirty it down and declare yourself the gossip columnist deluxe! Well, sho, because Perez Hilton ain't gonna get a sit-down with Floyd. Why should he? He's a fag and he's white.
Now let's take a closer look at "Tiny," the girl that this idiot rapper jealously worries about. Have you seen a more repulsive looking dwarf? With that steatopygian ass and those fucked up tattoos?
It seems the new low class brand of black celebrity...garish, violent and ignorant...is being applauded and encouraged to be the exact opposite of those rich white celebrities who are discrete, quiet and peaceful. "It's the culture." That's the excuse. You grow up "in the hood" and you be proud of it...you be proud of NOT speaking English correctly, of packing heat or having a violent entourage, or abusing your women and arrogantly showing off your horrendous taste in clothing and jewelry. Christ, even the most ridiculous redneck wrestler would be embarrassed to have a wife like "Tiny" the gruesome pygmy.
Is this your idea of news? Remember when, even when there was a scandal (like Burton-Fisher-Reynolds-Taylor) the participants were educated, attractive and glamorous? Look at those photos...this is repulsive. Ugliness and garishness is the norm, not the exception. The curve is headed downward...at one time blacks aspired to be equal to whites...no difference in how they dressed or talked. Like Sidney Poitier. Fer Chrissake, Poitier fought all his life for it. The point was, why be a racist asshole and deny Sidney Poitier when all that was different was color, and a few "Negroid" traits (like nappy hair). Wasn't he educated? Handsome? Talented? If you closed your eyes didn't he talk like any intelligent white man?
Now the idea is to embrace the worst traits of blackness. The idea is NOT to assimilate, and it's the same with Muslims, Pakistanis, Chinese, and the rest. Let's all be as arrogantly ethnic as possible and walk around in idiot outfits, blare idiot music, be intolerant of everyone else and not come together with a common purpose. Shouldn't we ALL have peace and quiet in a restaurant? In a movie theater? In a public park? Oh no no no, because ethnics can't be denied the slovenly ways they grew up, or they have to embrace and exaggerate their race and call attention to themselves.
You know who was a classy guy? Sugar Ray Leonard. Why couldn't Floyd be like that? Because Ray Leonard is now considered an Uncle Tom. If you don't embrace the worst excesses of ghetto crudity, and wear your pants down around your thighs, and stick a comb in your hair and talk like a retard...you're an Uncle Tom Negro. And that's really goddam sad, because the dignified black people like Dr. King, and Ray Leonard, and Ali, and Colin Powell and James Baldwin and all the others...are being taken down by the dumbing down of civilization.
The same has happened to a lesser extent with white culture...as witness Viley Virus and Bieber...but the standard isn't so abominably low (and let's remember that much of the revolting traits Virus and Bieber exhibit are based on the rappers and blacks they want to emulate so badly).
Damn fucked up. Mayweather and some idiot make headlines for a brawl in a burger joint. Pathetic.
I was happy to root for and admire Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard...we've taken a giant step backward with Mayweather. And Mayweather is no youngster. He's 37. It'll only get worse. Take his protege, Adrien Broner, who smirked after his last fight and sing-songed, "I beat up a Afree-can, and now I beat the fuck outta a Mex-eeee-can." The white interviewer told him to stop, but in another year or two, it will be demanded that a black interviewer be used, and the black interviewer will most likely grin and say, "Keep talkin' trash, bro...tell us mo..."
I wish it wasn't so. But I'm writing the truth, and the reality. Reality...it sucks.
Lastly, today the news came that Matthew Saad Muhammad died of ALS (Lou Gherig's disease). He had been homeless for several years, living in shelters and scrounging on the street. I know that Floyd "Money" Mayweather cares more about his bling and his indulgent Las Vegas lifestyle than other people, but I can't help thinking about what could have been. Floyd could have been the guy to give Matthew a job of some kind. He could've been the guy to set up a charity and work with Arum, Don King, the alphabet soup organizations...to make sure boxers, especially ex-champs, would not end up on the street and helpless. Floyd could still be the guy to say "I'm going to try..." like George Harrison did with Bangla Desh. But no, he prefers to be the "villain" when he hypes his boxing matches, and go bring an entourage to Fatburger and get into a brawl. And serving a few months in prison (and how he tried to buy his way out of that...) didn't make him think, for a moment, about the miserable conditions of guys such as Matthew Saad Muhammad. Matthew was a much more exciting fighter than Floyd ever was. Matthew ended up a loser. He also lost quite a few fights in his prime. But the bottom line is that compared to how Floyd's led his life...Matthew Saad Muhammad was, and will be remembered as...a winner.
