    As long as it promotes the agenda of labeling black people as gun waving anarchists, CNN has no problem addressing it.

    But when a gentlemen and legend like Arguello dies, they don't want to know about it.

            the one that says "watch how forrest was killed" is just the cnn clip that talks about the foot chase, the ******* exchange, etc

            it was their original story about the death....

              It's a video of his sparring, interview with his manager, video scenes of the gas station of where he was murdered, the ally or street he was killed. Not actual footage of his death or anything like that. I wouldn't be surprised if there is security footage from the gas station police have that may provide clues as to what exactly happened though.

              BTW the CNN article is pretty good, really paints Forrest in a positive light. Interesting to note Holyfield stated Vernon was the only fighter on their olympic team that could go toe to toe with Whitaker. Says a lot about him...
