Can a Afro American ever be a big main eventer?
Ripper replied to Team Angle Pusher's topic in The WWE Folder
No, a black wrestler will never be a big main eventer. Everyone that wants to name The Rock has to remember that he WAS hald samoan, and looking at him, you people don't really think black. They think "other". So You throw him ou there with the straight hair, he looks like he has a really good tan. Its all about being able to be univerally accepted in the eyes of the WWE dispite the fact that its been disproven. Ahmed Johnson and Booker T are two cases of black wrestlers that were over enough to hold the title. Ahmed was so goddamned hot at one point, you had to wonder WHY he was the big maineventer. Sure, later he got hurt by breathing too hard, and couldn't wrestle without killing himself, but hey...you know....hey. They got over because they were never mentioned as being black really. I mean think about it. Ahmed was just some intense big guy, then they went with the "Uncle Tom" angle with Farooq, and no one cared anymore. A majority white audience dosen't really care. The WWE will never be able to duck the want to play to stereotypes. And honestly, there are no stereotypes for a half black, half samoan kid....there just aren't. But I dare you to name a black wrestler that they haven't played up the "stereotypical darkie" role with them. I think thats all the writers know how to do. I can honestly imagine a hollywood shuffle esqe writers meeting where they are saying how so and so's character is good....but just not quite "black" enough. I think Vince and co believe that to cater to the minority audience, every person has to be a character from a 70's blaxploitation film. This is what will always stop the black wrestlers from going all the way to the top. I give it 3 months before one of Sheltons homeboys from the hood comes around and he is all GANGASTA. Or Shelton will turn heel and steal the faces car and strip it or something. Its coming and it won't suprise anyone here. The only way a black wrestler will become a big maineventer is if they are not constantly having their race shoved into the forefront, and the WWE will never EVER do that. -
That and Baron Davis is a God of a basketball player. Seriously. That guy can take any team to the playoffs. He just can't stay healthy. Its amazing. With the trading the did during this season (picking up Carbarkapa, Tstilisvilli, Davis) they made themselves a deep team.

The Musters movie directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans?
Ripper replied to spman's topic in Television & Film
Marlon has talent. Its Shawn who has no ability whatsoever yet gets jobs based on his brothers. Seriously...have you ever seen Shawn Wayans do stand up? That shit is just sad -
I get told I am a bad sport about this every year, but fuck that, the shit is stupid and annoying. So today I get to work and they are doing this whole "William, you messed up on this order, the client is really mad, blah blah blahblahblah, this could prompt termination or whatever." So I say okay and go to my computer to find this part, don't find it, tell them that the client is full of shit, I didn't do anything. Apparently they didn't think the joke was going well because a: I didn't seem worried and had this "fuck that client" attitude cause you know...fuck em. and b: ...well...actually I didn't have a B...I just wanted to use multiple points. Well anyway, they keep this shit up for 10 minutes before they say APril fools and I stare at them blankly for wasting 10 minutes of my goddamned time. Last year they called a meeting, which took 15 minutes for everyone to get there so the could pretend annouce the firing of a guy that worked there, did the april fools thing. 15 minutes of my time gone down the drain for a bad practical joke. Bottomline, I am a grown fucking man working and living around grown fucking people. leave this shit to the younguns, or at least come up with a huge joke, but if you are going to do this little bullshit, then fuck it.

I already said that earlier this year. It got no sold. I remember last year I put the Hilton sisters in my sig and Calista Flockhart in my avatar. Good times. Ripper - Hittin F5 since 2:32 pm You should have put that chick from the Black Eyed Peas in there as well. That girl has the opposite of an ass, it's somehow imploded upon itself. You know naming something else I hate with a passion in a thread about a day I hate with a passion is't helping. Goddamn I hate the Goddamn black eyed peas. They are hippie "rappers" pretty much the same as these new aged hippie "rockers" only with a chick that runs around shaking her hip bone really fast. And a guy that spells his name Will. I. Am. Goddamn I need to punch someone right now.

A soldier is tried for killing the enemy
Ripper replied to Your Paragon of Virtue's topic in Current Events
How is it BS? They don't think that there should be a war, but they aren't exactly rooting for the women and men to die either. They support the troops(do your job and don't do that whole dying thing) but they don't support the war(don't think the troops should be there in the first place). Makes sense to me. But these people are putting their lives on the line for something they believe in. They are following orders. The whole "we don't support the war, though" is a form of patronization. I see it as more of a gesture of pity than of support. All of the soilders there aren't a hundred precent for the war. I can name about 10 right now. But they signed up to do a job and they have said they are going to do it well because that is what they pledged to do. I think it would be foolish to assume that all the troops support the reason that they are there, but they are doing their jobs and for that they should be commended. If I didn't support the war, I know I would still be routing for the troops to go ahead and win the thing and get back home safely. Yeah, you have your cockasses who will say that they hope the war goes bad for america because we shouldn't be there, but they aren't the ones saying they support the troops and not the war. -

See the thing is, there isn't much about Elvis that most people don't know. Too many TV movies and such to tell everything. I don't think enough people would give a shit. i personally don't think it would do Ray numbers.

I doubt that many people would give that much of a shit about elvis. It wouldn't fuck with the Gumpish numbers.

How anyone could believe that the addition of Vince Carter to the Nets was a BAD thing is beyond me.

I'll do you one better, put a cue ball in a tube sock and crack somebody's skull with it. I actually saw a bar fight involving a cue ball in a sock. Except it was three guys with balls in three different socks. Two weeks ago at this bar I was at, this group of guys kept fucking with these three guys in this shitty rock band all night. Well the leader of the guys fucking with the rockers got up to go take a piss. The band followed him into the bathroom, shut off the lights, and just laid waste to the guy. That guy got fucked up. Hell then proceeded to break loose and the cops showed up. I decided to get the hell out of there. I don't even remember posting my previous post in this thread...I should be more coherent. Yeah, rant fucked it up as always, its supposed to be the cue BALL. And yeah...you guys do realize this isn't a steven segal movie, you hit someone in the head with that its probably going to kill them, right. So um...don't do that. Hit them in the knee cap. You can kick their ass all day then...they ain't gonna run. But yeah, Personally the best advice would be for the girl to leave both of you the fuck alone. I mean, drunkenous is never a excuse for fucking around. Its a good reason, but never a good excuse. You did it because you pretty much wanted to. You should have just kept fucking the new girl and moved on, but you already fucked that up so just go on with life. Eventually other dude will make her leave again, she will come back to you and everything will be washed clean. Tis the way of the world.

Jamie Fox should do it.

Will Chappelle's Show go the way of the dodo?
Ripper replied to syxx2001's topic in Television & Film
Chapplle is a extremely funny standup guy, that Rick James bit was funnier than most anything thats been on television in a while, and the show is good. Its a shame you all let idiots make you their bitch like that. You find something funny, but let other people ruin it for you. It doesn't change the fact that its funny. Its just that YOU don't like it anymore. Lil Jon was on Rap City one day and was like "People...its been almost 2 years since that Dave Chapplle thing. Would you PLEASE stop coming up to me and yelling in my face? You aren' t the first one to say WHAT!! or OKAAY to me...its not funny." Damn I hate people that can't just let something be funny and leave it be, but I still won't let them ruin it for me. -
Kerry Kittles hadn't been hurt in 2 plus seasons and was their best perimeter defender and most consistant shooter. I mean hell, they even didn't retain Anthony Johnson who they could have paid pennies for. I think it was a case of new owner wanting a new team. And I mean, if you aren't going to resign Kenyon, make a run at another FA. You have Jason freakin Kidd on your team, people would love to play with him. But no. they sat on their hands, got rid of all that money in Martin and Kittles, and then looked SHOCKED when Kidd wanted to get traded after turning a team that had been to the finals 2 times in 3 years into basically a rebuilding process.

HA!!! Kobe the defender....HA!! Every guard that he lined up against in that playoffs ate his ass alive. He would come right back at them, but still...ate his ass alive on defense. But the only thing people are saying about them is that they are amoung the elite in the league with Phoenix, San Antonio, Detroit, and Seattle(kinda). Its not like people are fitting them for a ring. I don't think they can possibly be called overrated.

I think it was a plot by the people for her to die to have Jesse Jackson go down there and say he was on the side of her living. I bet Bush was behind all of this. CONSPIRACY~!
-
Yeah, I am going to have to go ahead and disagree on this one. Ricky Gervais acting was great no doubt, but Carell is just as good, and honestly, he got more laughs out of me with jokes that were kinda dead.

The Musters movie directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans?
Ripper replied to spman's topic in Television & Film
Oh shut your whiney ass up. White actors have taken parts written for or intended to be for blacks for years. Honestly, a good part doesn't matter what race is playing it. How the fuck is a movie better or worse if the actor playing the part is black or white? Sanford and Son and Goodtimes were sitcoms about black communities struggles....well...Goodtimes was. How the fuck is the Musters or The Honeymooners the same. There is a big difference. If a black guy plays Ronald Regan or George Washington in a movie then bitch on, but until then, quit fucking crying. -
I remember when that program first started up. Goddamn I hated it. I am sure it is better now, but that was one rage inducing program.

You know...I think I was the only fan of Ring King/TKO Boxing or whatever it was called in your area. Never could beat that game. Never could figure out how to throw combos like the computer did. Ripper - sharing slightly topic related moment of his past since 04/01/05
