    I read Bruce Lee's bio a year ago and his mother was a devout Catholic, but apparently he had Caucaisian blood and some Jewish in him a well.

    I never really felt comfortable with this kind of question.

    Perhaps we should bury race A vs race B issue in the ground, and put six feet of concrete on top of it?

    I felt the same way until I realized boxers like Frankie Schoell, Jimmy Leto, Jimmy Jones, and Lou Brouillard could possibly be forgotten.

    They were great welterweights and just like the Black murders row their ethnicity plays into what made them fearless…Let’s not hide from it. I’m African’s American and have no problem saying these were some tough ass white boys straight up.
