Is Miguel Cotto a BLACK Puerto Rican??

Did I say anything about beating anyone's ass ? I said he wouldn't have the heart to say that in real life. No, but you were implying a violent response. Hence why you said "You wouldn't dare say that to a black man's face." Or am I to assume that what you meant by that is that you'll give him a verbal lesson like "that's such a wrong stereotype?" It doesn't help that the fool that backed up your claim uttered "Yeah, they can get their chins checked." The reason why there's more blacks incarcerated in America is because blacks are more likely to be convicted of crimes and questioned for crimes on an insanely unbalanced scale. Until you've been sat on the curb and threatened by the police because "You fit the description" you really have no room to talk. The description will be something outrageous like "Black man 5'6" to "6'2" age 20 - 35" Yes, I'm sure that's the reason why the majority of incarcerated people are black. It's surely not because of their actions but because of their "image." I'm sure when a security cam IDs an individual as african american in an act of crime the verdict in court is "Well he's black so he obviously did it," rather than irrefutable evidence such as being caught red handed. Please. I can sit on a curb and not be under scrutiny because I don't give the police any reason to scrutinize me. I don't dress like some G with my pants down to my thighs and my boxers hanging out. If you are who you say you are "a college graduate with a respectable occupation" then you shouldn't be as heavily scrutinized as you're making it out to be. Unless of course you dress a certain way and act a certain way when your off duty. Then in that case you're bringing the scrutiny unto yourself.

There's some sad human being in here. This thread makes me disappointed with humanity. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Notice how nobody never tells the Jews to "get over" the Holocaust like they tell blacks to get over slavery....despite the atlantic slave trade being 50x worse and the remnants of it still being felt today? We all know why. smh

Notice how nobody never tells the Jews to "get over" the Holocaust like they tell blacks to get over slavery....despite the atlantic slave trade being 50x worse and the remnants of it still being felt today? True. People don't know the details of the slave trade that's why.

And I will tell you that it is OVERRATED. You are harping on some Bull**** like "who am I" and the clock is passing you by. You have been taught to cry by well intentioned guilty whites... but it does nothing for you. All that "deeeep" **** is overrated. Who gives a **** what flag you might have had on your rearview mirror. Pick the Nigerian flag and Let it goooo. "peeleft: Nothing is passing me by. I am doing everything that I want to be doing. You take it for granted because you know what other flag you could fly

You shouldn't "forget" about slavery but you shouldn't be wallowing in its sorrow like it had anyway affected your life. The only people who have the right to be angry were the ones directly affected by it, not some great great great nephew who enjoys the luxury of playing an Xbox360 on a 42 inch LCD TV. If you want to know your own origins, simply do some research. Better yet, ask your parents or relatives. I'm sure they can point you in the right direction. You're making it sound like slavery has stripped you of any brain function that prevents you from looking into your own family history. I do find it somewhat humorous about the manner you speak of the american flag. Almost as if its not good enough for you. The point is my parents, grandparents, and great grandparents have no idea what country we come from either because of slavery. You've managed to miss the whole point. I didn't say anything bad about the American flag. I like living in America. Maybe because I don't know anything else I don't know. My point is when I see my friends going to their ancestral countries whether it be the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Mexico, or whatever it bother me because I can't do that.

And people wonder why nearly half of the incarcerated people in this country are black. When someone says something you don't like "beat their ass." Did I say anything about beating anyone's ass ? I said he wouldn't have the heart to say that in real life. The reason why there's more blacks incarcerated in America is because blacks are more likely to be convicted of crimes and questioned for crimes on an insanely unbalanced scale.

the funny thing is that the clowns talking about blacks being racist, having double standards and such are the many ones being racist, making generalizations and ****. lumping people in to one group. just look at plaster sad andhis posts check the sig my dude and vote

So being a black man I should forget about slavery ? Why don't one of you enlightened individuals tell me what country I come from...because I don't know. Slavery chopped up the majority of my history. I have friends who take trips back to their country of ancestry and soak in their culture. I can't do this...EVER. Slavery robbed the luxury of enjoying my own culture from me. So next time you tell an African American to STFU and move on think about that. I have no flag to fly but the American flag. Most Americans have the American flag to wave and a flag of their ancestral country. I don't have this...and I can thank slavery for that. You shouldn't "forget" about slavery but you shouldn't be wallowing in its sorrow like it had anyway affected your life.

If he is, does that mean Manny fought a slick, fleet footed african- puerto rican boxer?

I am black in America. I am 28 years old...a college grad and I work for FedEx as a courier. I'm going to manager soon. I have recently completed the management training program. I am not some statistic. I don't do the stupid sh*t the American media would tell you all blacks do. I've never been in trouble. I've never even been arrested. Regardless of these facts the police still threaten to arrest me frequently. I get pulled over constantly, but have never received a ticket (driving while black). When I walk into a clothing store every employee working asks me if I need help and often I get a tail following me "fixing clothes" making sure I don't steal anything. I have a white sounding name so often I am called for interviews for jobs and met with a face of disappointment when I get there (If you don't think they are throwing Aisha and Jamaal's resume to the side you are very naive). People are often visibly afraid of me when I walk down the street because of the things they've heard about black people. Racism is real. It's not gone and I deal with it everyday. I don't whine ***** or moan about it. I do what I can do to not be a stereotype. Still I get treated like one. Even the President doesn't escape this...listen to right wing talk radio for a few hours. America is not peaches and cream because blacks have fought and fought for better opportunity and now have a fighting chance. Regardless of how far we've come it is in no way equal. I wish all the people thinking it was equal could live as a black man for a couple days and see what kind of blatantly racist things happen to us for no reason. See how you feel when you smile at an old lady and she clutches her purse or you walk into a store with a pocket full of cash and get treated like a petty thief...

Oh no problem, pick a flag and move on. Stop biitchen in 2010. :bottle: Pick a flag...that has got to be the dumbest sh*t I've ever read.

PAST and PRESENT: Is Black Racism and White Racism the SAME in terms of Damage? http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?p=9876287&posted=1#post9876287

You wouldn't say some sh* t like this to an Black man's face. Big tough man on the internet i know right. clowns like him are always brolic when they can get their chin checked And people wonder why nearly half of the incarcerated people in this country are black. When someone says something you don't like "beat their ass."

post the documentation, waiting What documentation? Are you expecting me to give you a receipt of a black man in the late 1800s and early 1900s purchasing a black slave? :pat: Here's an idea. Get off your chair or whatever it is your sitting on, take some history classes, and educate yourself. Better yet, do it the "shortcut" way, as I know many of you prefer that method. Go back to page 18, scroll all the way down, and click on the link that one of the posters provided you. Here I'll do the work for you: http://americancivilwar.com/authors/black_slaveowners.htm If you're still somewhat dumbfounded, go to this site called "google" and do some more research.

None of the people who enslaved your ancestors are alive today. why blame whyte ppl that live now for what their ancesters did 100's of years ago? I'm not blaming today's white people for any of it. I said I will never forget slavery because it still affects me today. I'd love to go back to my home country. Don't know what country that is.

So when you're at home playing PS3 All day and drinking KoolAid, you think they really lied? You wouldn't say some sh* t like this to an Black man's face. Big tough man on the internet

black men didnt own slaves. your trusty ole uncle tom was given power over slaves by the slave owners to be his "right hand man/snitch etc", and of course he thought he was better than all the other blacks b.c of this "power" his dumbass thought he had but was still a slave he was nothing more than a 'trusty ole n*gger' Seriously, go back to school, take some history classes, and educate yourself.
