I did not believe this when I heard about it. I watched your videos. I started a life in the ghetto... I banged like a fool 'till I woke up. I was not suppressed by any man or woman, white or black. I worked myself up from Compton High School to a scholarship at Stanford University and I did it myself. I take pride in what I have accomplished both as a black man, and an athlete. I could have stayed in L.A. and banged and used drugs and thought that it was all the white man's fault. But that would be a lie. We are who we want to be; that is what is great about America. We are all born with the same chances in life.. White or black, you choose to be a woman-abusing racist loudmouth. I would love to debate you on national T.V. And if you condone senseless black shootings of whites and police officers, you better make that a debate on Springer, so I can bitch-slap your ignorant ass!
