This is not punching out, maybe Tyson slapped the B ch, and he got a scratch on his temple.

As someone who has actually competed in boxing before, I know that the head bleeds a lot relative to the injury. I've had it where you could barely see with the blood going into your eyes, but the cut was actually small. Since this jokster is barely bleeding, he's fine.
Tyson can rest comfortably knowing that you "got his back".

How long have you been his lawyer?

Then why are there so many posts that evoke anger towards Blacks, and racial animus in general? And why should I not be bothered by this. You say I'm wrong. I'm tired of hearing what I'm hearing.

And for what it's worth. I've rarely ever asked such questions. I've always been more concerned about what affects me and me personally.

Mike Tyson is a dummy and has a history of violence. He's ghetto and could never give that up.

Contrast this with Dr. Ben Carson, Dr. Regina Benjamin, those are totally different people.

When a mountain of evidence indicates that something is true, but you don't want it to be true, it can be difficult to face.

Black people, as a group, are the most violent cohort in America. That doesn't mean that every last one is violent.

You can rationalize that violence by pointing out past injustices, but it doesn't change statistics.

People come to CD to express their outrage at shocking violence and you tend to see "racial animus" and take it personally.

Yes I take things personally. That's how I am and I'm not changing. I've dealt with enough bigots in my life that I just write alot of people off. I just trying to be an individual. My efforts should speak for ME. Hard to do when there are individual using the very worst of America's Black population, and applying it across the board. I'm trying to live FOR ME and ME ONLY.

Okay, what will I get out of being okay with people saying "Blacks are the most violent cohort in America, and we don't want them around as a result "? What's in it for me? What do I get out of it that is tangible and would actually help me live a better life? BTW, I am a middle class, white collar professional, educated, and not part of the underclass. When I ask those questions, take that in mind.

But can't you see that when young men are raised in the same kind of environment, black men tend to be more violent than white ones. You only have to look at facts and figures.

Not really. I've been around suburban raised Blacks as well as suburban raised Whites. I haven't seen much of a difference.

Well, I look at what I'm seeing on these posts vs what I'm seeing in real life. The only violence I have ever seen or experienced from Black people came from Black people from the projects or Blacks who were raised in underclass surroundings. Middle class Blacks, upper class Blacks, Blacks within the white collar professional ranks, never had a problem.

Remember, I've posted crime statistics myself on other threads, including one about Black homicide rates. My point is that the lions share of Black homicides and violence are among the underclass. I've seldom ever seen it from middle class/white collar Black people. What I am seeing are people coming here to promote the "Black people are violent regardless", which I find to be a lie.

Why are the statistics not as bad among the white "underclass"?
