Bates Mon, 13 Oct 2008 03:17:50 +0000 http://juicedsportsblog.com/2008/08/ron-artest-racist-black-culture.html#comment-2934 we do agree. Artest is a jackass that typlifies the stereotype of Black athletes and Black men as a whole. I'm a wrestler and a MMA playa. I don't go 'round bussin guys up just cuz I can... that's foolishness. But let's take a look at the culture that's fed to these yung cats- they are bombarded daily with how cool it is to be a thug, a hustler, etc... No wonder guys in college and pro athletics get all twisted up... they try their best to emulate what they have grown up on... It's a shame, yea... What a jackass Artest is- and Houston will once again go out in the 1st round we do agree. Artest is a jackass that typlifies the stereotype of Black athletes and Black men as a whole.

Let me just say that black people like to get into fights for no reason because it is part of their culture. Wait, I can't say that, I'm white. Why the hell did Ron Artest say that? Why would he insult his own race like that? He's not racist, but he's a fucking idiot. ---- I think you and I both agree actually. You said, "I can tell ya IT IS a part of Black culture for there to be knuckleheads who fight just to fight- but that’s not limited to Black culture only" I agree that there are knuckleheads in every culture who like to get into fights, but the nature of Artest's comments was to say that ALL blacks fight, not that some of the knuckleheaded ones fight.

As someone who grew up in a rough neighborhood, I can tell ya IT IS a part of Black culture for there to be knuckleheads who fight just to fight- but that's not limited to Black culture only... Artest is not racist, he's a misguided in his recent statements, but he's no racist- I wish people would look past race in this country, but it would be impossible... Too many people make too much $ off of the politics of race in America- whoever wrote that RonRon 'should shut his racist mouth up'- get yer facts straight before ya go blogging on anything else.... True, Artest can be and is a knucklehead, but, in many ways, that's all he knows..
