the comments he may have made about individual fighters (maybe after a "couple"
of beers?), which, if they were black, were also certainly racist in nature.
It's sort of like even the slightest criticism of Israel being "anit Semitic."
For those who might be a bit slow on the draw, this is a sarcastic post. From
now on, all are on their own, in terms of figuring this out.|

not apologizing or justifying my position, I was presenting my position to
Thelma.You are right, no apologies are needed when you know what is
right is in you heart.It gets tiresome that any time one is critical of
a black fighter, or sometimes any black person, even though race is not even
mentioned, some political correct person will bring up the race issue. It is
about time that people be judged by the content of their character and not by
the color or their skin! I wonder who said that? That idea sounds vaugely
familiar! Oh yes, Dr. M.L. King Jr. said that and he was right back in the 1960s
and his idea is still right now!Jerry had many black friends in the
boxing business. Among them, Ali, George Foreman, and Joe Frazier. These men
and others know Jerry on the whole was a good hearted person.About my
statement regarding I don't see racisim among fighters themselves, I was
speaking in general terms because just because I don't see it, doesn't mean it
is not there entirely. In general, fighters respect each other regardless of
race.|

very similar to my own surname: Cini ( pron. "cini", not "sini")and this
makes me feel more important... LOL! What do you think about TONEY vs MC CLINE ?

Ca||Sonia90101@aol.com||||10|Ok here goes: Thelma, just to say people are
people and are entitled to their thoughts, feelings, and opinions, its what
makes the world go round. I have to say in all my years I have never heard my
Uncle Jerry, say a prejudiced word, and if he did he must of had a good reason
or he wouldn't of said it. And for what was said about Uncle Jerry, being white
trash, thats a bunch of crap, we have same blood lines running through us, and I
know damn well I'm no white trash. He was a very good person, loving, kind
hearted, amd willing to help anyone who needed it, and I knew him to be
respectful of all people. So my feelings are, and I'm entitled are if you have
nothing nice to say or write about him, you might not want to put it on this
site. As for your questions about KooKoo, he does keep this site entertaining,
and yes, he loves to give Kent, a hard time, but a bigger person can handle it
and not let it get to him. I think Kent, handles it well. Sorry people, but it
bothered me to have someone call Uncle Jerry, white trash. Well I hope you all
keep checking out this website, and keep posting. You are very missed Dad(Mr.
