Vernon Forrest Shot and Killed in Atlanta

[Bobby Shaw]

RIP Vernon. This is why I wish boxers/athletes would move out of the ****** when they get money. I know your family is there and you don't want to leave but when you have money you have to get the hell out.

Did he live in the ******?Why would someone with money live in the ******?Security is a big issue isnt it?

[-EX-]

Just caused he stopped to get gas around there doesn't mean he lived there...

[Horus]

Like I said before JACK D. RIPPER is a clown.
More Importantly very ignorant.

[Cereal]

R.I.P Vernon. No more! A senseless waste of life.

And lads, lets be civilised and look beyond our grievances for one thread.

Being afrocentric is NOT the black equivalent of white power

Afrocentrism focuses on African History and building up pride within the African community that was Stolen,strip, and buried from Africans when brought in chains to america.

Afrocentrism trys to connect the dots for Africans who live in america about the History and Heritage they never learnt since being brought to america.

I have told you this before.

Trying to make what has happened to black people in this country seem like the experience of any other ethnic group is like saying apples are just like lemons.


AFRICAN Heritage and History were taken and Hidden from Africans.


Remember For Africans in America it was.

Try to learn anything like reading and die.

Try to remember the fact that you are HUMAN and not horse or monkey, face torture and die.

Don't bother loving your children, they're not really yours. Don't bother forming ANY attachments matter of fact, nothing is permanent for you.

• You used to remember your name BEFORE they brought you to America
• You used to remember your language. BEFORE they brought you to America
• You used to remember your religion. BEFORE they brought you to America
• You used to remember your ancestors.BEFORE they brought you to America

Think about all the history and Heritage Africans have lost during the time of slavery.

My last name is Smith.
Do you know what that means to me?

It means my family slave owner name was probably smith.
Think about that and the affects and legacy that still have on African Americans to this day!

What Afrocentrism does is try somehow to reconnect Africans to their Histroy
beyond post slavery.

So you explain to me how something like this can be considered racist.
When if it wasnt for racism,bigotry, and cruelness, this wouldnt even be needed for African to learn about their history beyond post slavery..

wtf are u two **** for brains polluting a tribute to the dead with senseless arguments?

RIP Vernon Forrest.

I was never a massive fan of his but I respected his abilities and achievements immensely.

My thoughts are with his family and friends.

So many great fighters passing on at the moment, and in ways that can be prevented. Sad times.
