    If you were going to have a boxer for Black History Month, Bernard Hopkins is a great choice.

    He went to jail real young for burglary or whatever, and decided right then and there to turn his life around.

    He didn't do so by being flashy, he didn't do so by getting lucky, he did so by training his body and more importantly his mind to achieve a level of physical/mental fitness beyond what you almost ever see in sports.

    That story is great, and yes.. Bernard should be somewhat of a role model to the youth of America.

    I put the info out there just for basic informational purposes. Not to initiate a debate with someone who does not understand even the contradiction of a slob like TD Jakes. If you fail to comprehend someone simple like Jakes, you have no chance at debating stem cell research with me.
    Suggest you use your eyes to read more, and you ass for sitting rather than bouncing on Jakes. :yep:good

    Oh my gosh are you another alias of Vivec Wallace because just the other day he made the following statement: “The african race is the pre-dominanting culture, bro. Afro people can evolve lighter, but a caucasian man (no matter how much he tans) can never have the pigmentation of an african man. That's a scientific fact. So, it's not a good train of thought to think that a spanish or latin person didn't originate from somewhere else. Culture is more geographical (domincan, Puerto rican, etc), but race is pre-dominant and pre-existent to race.” Vivek -

    Some black supremacists justify supremacist assertions by assigning dubious properties to melanin based on pseudoscience and distortions of scientific fact or speculation. Scientists consider melanin theory pseudoscience it has no credibility in mainstream medicine or science.[2][3]

    For instance, in the book “Afrocentricity, Melanin, and Pseudoscience," Bernard R. Ortiz De Montellano American Journal of Physical Anthropology Volume 36, Issue Supplement 17, pages 33–58, 1993

    Abstract A component of the Afrocentric movement has incorporated a theory that black people, including ancient Egyptians, have superior mental, physical, and paranormal powers because they have more melanin both in their skin and in their brains. By extension it is also claimed that black people have more melatonin and β-MSH in their systems and that these compounds also contribute to the superiority of people of color over whites. In this paper, these claims are detailed and refuted. A review of the genetics and biochemistry of human pigmentation shows that all humans have similar amounts of neuromelanin (brain melanin), and that its concentration is absolutely independent of skin color; that adult humans do not synthesize β-MSH; and that human melatonin has no clearly demonstrable physiological function and no relationship to skin color. “Melanists” also distort human evolution by claiming that European whites are descendants of negroid albinos. The main problems posed by this ideological movement are that it will increase the already rampant scientific illiteracy in this country, it will contribute to further widening the gap between the races, and, most importantly, it is being introduced into the public school curriculum under the guise of multicultural education. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

    If you read the entire article, you will see that this theory is also favored. by Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam http://wayne.academia.edu/bortiz/Papers/123231/Melanin_Afrocentricity_and_Pseudoscience

    So the president is actually part of a racists movement alive and well on our own ESB. He is merely going berserk to protect a fellow racist but as most racists, going out on a limb of ignorance

    You really should at least understand a little of the subject prior to BLINDlY accepting what whites print as Gospel. This is the trouble with TD Jakes following freaks like yourself is, you are a confused individual who will believe just about anything, usually untruths.
    Fool, Melanin has no MYSTERIOUS properties. It's only the fundamental brick of life.
    Too bad fools like yourself even at an advanced age no very little about the substance, and if you did read about it, are too dim witted to really comprehend. What a waste of space in that weak minded skull. :-(

    Unlike yourself, I actually know all of the authors listed in your rudimentary melanin search, and in fact have debated and won against those traditional Eurocentric racists such, Bernard R. Ortiz De Montellano.
    Dr. Cress-Welsing is a psychologist whose work is repeated and reused the world over. Yet, some whites would label her as a black supremacists for telling truth about Melanin.

    Is that a rhetorical question because I am still waiting for the/your bull**** answer.


    Actually you bullshitted your way from Prozac to insomnia to neuromelanin to genocide to melanin to Parkinsons to stem cells and all over some bull**** theory that you dont even know how to explain, which equals double bull**** but inspired by Beelzebub/Baal/lord of flies/father of lies

    There is no need to bull**** someone whose ignorance prevents them from distinguishing "fact" from "factoid".
    I know you're slow, so a "factoid" is an opinion that is repeated with such repetition, fools like yourself soon begin regurgitating it as Gospel, in spite of it's inaccuracies.

    Doesn't take a rocket scientist to note your lame attempt to avoid the real issue by whining about what comes first, Depression or Insomnia. Note I did not fall for your weak volley, but instead went on to reveal even more stupidity coming out of your confused, "Down-Low" ass. :yep

    I can tolerate many things, but a weak mind irks me, and I hate child molesters, so since you know squat about boxing and love to prey on helpless little boys like your idol, TD Jakes, why don't you just take a sit and STFU! :good

    Yep, Wallace, the president, and toopretty are three peas in a pod. When backed into a corner over the racists tendencies of their Messiah Mayweather and Saint Bernard, they have all shouted back with the same childish--"well we got more melanin than you got"

    ..So I decided to investigate their tantrums and I learned quite a bitand and the truth came out .

    I totally disagree with that. Hopkins was once one of my boxing heroes because his turn from crime as a young teenager is actually a lot like my own. I was so bad that the FBI even sent beautiful vixen spies to my place of employment and even to a rehab for the final sting. One of the witches not only got me kicked out and thrown in the pin; she also broke my heart. heck she was even dating my probation officer's husband's brother--I actually beat both of those brother's arses and the probation officer (who literally tried to scratch my eyes out) but that is actually a totally unrelated story-if you can believe it.

    Oh and get this. Several years later I decided I wanted to go into the Special Forces and things were looking up but guess who was sitting in my recruiters office one day. That same spy from work mentioned above. The recruiter then pulled out my police record that ran from above his head to the floor. That was it for my military life. Then the Lord touched me and I started going to the university but since I had stolen from so many a powerful person, the cops continued to harass me just for my past. I'd just be be driving my motorcycle to school and they would pull me over and throw me in the county jail for no freaking reason. I'm ranting because the stuff never really leaves you but that's nothing really compared to the crazy stuff that happens to you once you turn Christian

    2. Convicted of cocaine possession and usage. Convicted. Community service

    3. Convicted of being AWOL from Reserves

    White people voted this loser in as President. Likely because they identify with this worthless piece of ****. :yep
