LOL @ THREADSTARTER FOR BEING A HUGE FAGGOT AND SAYING “AFRICAN-AMERICAN”. SOME OF THOSE PEOPLE ARE FROM THE CARRIBEAN YOU INSENSITIVE ASSHOLE.
Also, what a bunch of shit. Just because you’re too fucking poor to rent a proper building to train in doesn’t mean you’re automatically tougher because you have to do it in the streets.
BONUS ANALOGY!
In this instance, it’s very much like the kids who’s parents were able to afford toys and those who didn’t. Leaving a kid to play with his imagination is great, but it’s all the same, fake.
To Sarcastro’s last post (I’m not quoting that frickin Torah scroll of a post): ‘African American’ is the stupidest term of all time. Where I grew up, more than half of the brothers were from either Jamaica, Ethiopia, Trini, or Haiti. The correct term is ‘Black Folks’. Some times we just used ‘Jody’ which is used like ‘Charlie’ for the VC, but more a term of acceptance, as in : ‘Leave Jody alone, I know him from school.’
I’m gonna keep posting ridiculous and ambiguously racial responses to this thread until it dies from the outrageous amounts of insensitivity and how much being in here makes people feel like they need to take a shower.
I don’t know who is being more racist, me or the entire whole of these dumb black dudes trying to make an ethnocentric style of fighting.
The idea that they’re so culture starved that they have to make it up is not only embarrassing for me as a martial artist, but for everyone who’s black. If I were a black martial artist, I would feel embarrassed to have these people around trying to market this bullshit.
