I think this is ignorant as I found the analogy of Lebron James to King Kong in the vogue cover. Black and Whites alike are very hypocritical when it comes tohow they view the "image" of a black man in this country. Kimbo is a fighter not a ballet dancer. His demeanor and fierce appearance are nodifferent from many other white fighters. If I think Brock Lesner is a beast or an animal, people would agree and would not think it had any racialconnotations. What do they want kimbo to do....walk around in a tutu?
He wants Kimbo to hold himself to a "higher" standard.
1 more thing, MLK preached being judged by actions rather than appearances. The biggest crooks in this country are in suits and carry a briefcase to work.
Sadly I agree with the statements made about flav.
But there are manyshows on E with disfunctional white people so Im good. Its comedy and doesn't represent the black population. In the same way "Britney""Paris" "Lindsay" and all those other crazy ignorant #%%+%# don't represent every young white woman in this country

It's racist and it shows the mentality of some black people. They are ashamed to be grouped with people like Kimbo so they degrade them. Kimbo is doinghim. Maybe some people really just dont give a *@%+ about what White America thinks. I mean just....maybe? It's his free right to do what he chooses...
