You originally said that America is a white supremacist country in defense of Haney's biting off of B-Hop's derogatory remark. I never said that America isn't racist. The point is, Haney fucked up in saying a white boy will never beat him. You may not think he did, but he and his people did to the point of him backtracking. Calling me a coward? You don't even know me, junior.

You make some crazy assumptions. We all make assumptions, heck I admitted I did regarding Haney's remark... But then one must ask: What are those assumptions based upon?
1) ***** gets no respect from the white community? So let me guess...There is one Black guy and one White guy and they both represent the entire community of which they are a part... Plenty of White people would die for *****. Not me... (for the record).
2) How do you figure distrust of government is based on *****'s election? Some of us dislike and distrust all the Washington establishment. Some of use would rather have Trump than another self entitled Washington elitist like Pelosi, Killery, or...*****. It has nothing singularly to do with *****.
3) Yes America is a White Supremist society but you damn should qualify that!! You saying that off the cuff is pathetic. **** Gregory spent a lifetime...a LIFETIME saying the same thing and you know what the difference was my friend? Never once did Gregory fail to qualify the remark as it was intended: He made the point every every time he uttered such a thing, that the poor misrable individuals who had/have no control over their lives economically, White, Black, or Tan, could not be White Supremist.
He said first, jokingly to break the ice, that "the kind of White man that reads the Stock Pages, is what he was referring to" and then went to great lengths, to explain that the people who ultimately hold power and wealth in the world are the White Supremisists, and never the White guy who is struggling to pay his bills.
I would say that Gregory had a healthy respect for classism, the belief that economic class is what determines our ways... But that is an opinion and one qualified by the above statement. But you never qualify your statement do you? You know how much the real supremisists would love to kiss you? They want people to believe that because people want different things at times, based on race, that this makes them enemies. meanwhile the real racist fvks divide, conquer and make sure they are inaccessible to anyone who might cause them to change their ways.
I wouldn't call you a coward but surely you are misled. Some of the most intelligent people who are activists, and who happen to be Black, people like Gorgeous Dre, would tell you so... You accomplish nothing fighting with those who are accesible to you and under the same crushing conditions. There is no such thing as White or, Black America...there are White people and Black people with many different ways, feelings and opinions, who represent a plurality of views. Read Ralph Ellison, another Black man with a history of social activism in his time... He tells a story about being in New York City in the summer. He is collecting funds for his music school down south walking through the tenaments in Harlem...
He hears a racous argument from one of the apartments...He realizes he is listening to A group of Black men arguing about who the best Tenors are at the Metropolitian Opera house. Ellison is a Black man raised in the South... He cannot believe what he is hearing and decides to knock on the door, where upon a large drunk man comes to the door. Ellison makes new friends that night and learns a new lesson: It turns out those men were all extras for the Opera that performed in the Operas featuring Africa, and Africans... Ellison thought he knew, from his own cultural understanding, what a Black man was, what a Black man did, etc... Think about it

Haney I get it!
For business purposes you can’t say anything to media as you may very well feel, the sponsers, promoters and various groups and people will not allow you to say how you truly feel, but once you become super big or about to retire then you do like Larry Holmes, Bernard Hopkins and others; and you say I’ll never lose to a WHITE BOYYYY, and if you don’t like it; kiss where the sun don’t shine! Not now, but later.........
I’m just sayingComment
