Kinda hoping Manhoef vs Marshall is a back and forth war though.

I'd love it if Manhoef decimated Marshall in like 10 seconds. Big black man knocking out the white guy with Peckerwood and Iron Cross tattoos. Iron cross by itself? Fine. I guess. Iron Cross with Peckerwood which is a white power gang? Shieeeeeeeeeet son.

I've heard Marshall has changed his ways so good for him if true because I do like seeing him fight and his promos are hilarious but it makes it almost impossible for me to root for him. Get that **** removed, man.

*jumps off soapbox*

What do you think of Velasquez's brown pride?

I think it's a boring and ugly tattoo but I don't have too much of an issue with it. At most it is inappropriate because while Cain is most likely using it as a way to say he is proud of his heritage; the term does have some association with hispanic gangs. For the most part the use of Brown/Black/Purple People Eater Pride by itself just means they are proud of their ethnic background and nothing else. White pride and other related tattoos on the other hand just have too many negative connotations associated with them to go "Oh maybe he's just proud of his ethnic background and not the other ****** up ****"

Now if Cain had another tattoo that was clearly associated to an organization that held Hispanic supremacist beliefs then I would also be just as disturbed as I am with Marshall's tattoos.

So if Marshall simply had a Iron Cross tattoo an alarm may ring off in my head but I wouldn't instantly condemn him because the Iron Cross has long history where it meant different things to different groups at different times. Like if His great great grandad or whomever fought in the Napoleonic wars and his family thought it was a great honor and they always want to show they are proud of it someway so he just decided to get it tattooed. Or maybe he just really loves West Coast Choppers. Whatevs.

But Iron Cross combined with Peckerwood combined with the skinhead look kind of makes it hard for me to think he wasn't at some point associated with a group that held white supremacist beliefs. Don't judge a book by it's cover and all that so if it's not true then I'll send Doug Marshall an apology card and some Twix bars. Everyone loves twix.

Marshall gets **** for an iron cross haha, Like soda said Cain has Brown pride tattooed across his chest, if someone had White pride in the same spot, major organizations would even look at them. ridiculousness 

PS. im not a racist

Carlin said it best:

We need another cataclysm so we can all realize we're ****** on this ************* rock together. How are we ever going to get like Star Trek with all this ********? 

I still kill my dinner with a rock ... my wife hates it when I do it, I keep breaking the plates and it doesn't set a good example for my son but I can't help myself ... maybe if she stopped carving smiling faces into the mashed potatoes it'd help a bit.

With a stone ... naturally.

@Cthulu. Only 100,000 people? You're much more optimistic than me. Haha. 

Screw racists.

Now on to this fight. Should be a barn burner. Two guys with wicked power and no chins going at it. Manhoef is the better striker, but with this much power in the ring I doubt that matters much. Could go either way.


PS- I read that the Chinese character on Manhoefs arm means "Kill Whitey". So should be a good one.

I like to think that the population is equally proportionate on both ends. So if 10% of people are insanely smart, the bottom 10% of people are insanely dumb.

I had to take a psych based class in college. One of the more interesting studies someone did was give people IQ tests and ask them afterward "what percentile do you think you scored in".

The majority of people (both high IQ AND low IQ) said 50-60 percentile. That is scary. Means the dumb people overstate their intelligence and smart people don't  know or don't admit to themselves they are smart. 

I forget who said this, "politicians are stupid people who think they are smart", but whoever said that was very accurate.
