This morning I decided to...This is getting creepy.<br /><br />This morning I decided to read up on blacks. I downloaded "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in my Kindle. And also "12 years a Slave". Both are free. While reading some background on '12 years' I remembered the old James Garner movie 'Skin Game'. I was sure I was the only person who had ever made that connection.<br /><br />Then I ran across your Taki's review. It was exactly what I was going to write. You must be older than I thought. Or else you are bugging my forebrain. <br /><br />Carter's death was on the Web so I looked at a few articles on him too. I developed an opinion on Carter only to find that you had reached the same conclusions earlier. Sommabitch. <br /><br />But I do know one or two things you probably don't. I watched the Rubin Carter-Joey Giardello championship fight today. I think I saw it live. Carter faded after the 10th round. He wasn't going to ever be champ. Giardello sued him over how that fight was portrayed in the film and the producers settled. <br /><br />I remember watching Carter fight on TV a couple times. He beat Emile Griffith but only after Griffith had stopped hitting as hard as he could because he wanted to avoid killing another opponent like he killed Kid Peret. <br /><br />Denzel Washington was much too tall to play Carter. The Hurricane was five inches shorter than Washington. He was known for being short. Sort of like Tyson.<br /><br />Washington told an interesting story about training for the movie role. He tried to do his own boxing and had learned some real boxing from real trainers. He told Charlie Rose that he was accumulating to many head blows. He was getting nasty with others on the set and his personality was deteriorating. He also couldn't remember his lines anymore.<br /><br />About 30% of all boxers who are in the game for several years get <i>Dementia pugilistica</i>. Most don't show symptoms for ten years or more but some earlier it seems.<br /><br />With modern medical imaging someone is bound to publish a study of fighter's brains and very soon - no more prize fighting.<br /><br />There was a campaign to deny Washington the Oscar mounted by neighbors of the policeman played by Dan Hedaya. He was, they said, a sweet guy who was defamed in his portrayal in the movie. They think that without their efforts Washington would have won.<br /><br />After a half day of reading Carter's story he sounds like a psychopath and an habitual liar. He's like Al Sharpton might have been be if he had been less fat and more muscular. <br /><br />AlbertosaurusPat Boylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477950851915567863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-64110818409126472462014-04-21T15:42:37.971-07:002014-04-21T15:42:37.971-07:00I now realize this guy and the NFL player with the...I now realize this guy and the NFL player with the same name were two different people.

He was just a minor boxer, not Roman Polanski. </i><br /><br />There's always a Great Black Victim of Injustice floating around somewhere. For the past 30-plus years that role has been served by Mumia Abu-Jamal. Originally cool because he supposedly killed a cop, and because the real radical Left digs that, and because everyone knows he actually did it. The "Free Mumia" thing is really just about ragging the system. It seems to have finally tired itself out and you don't seem to hear as much about it anymore except maybe from Communist blacks on radical radio stations. <br /><br />But then again, we had Trayvon for a while filling the role.

I guess Dylan was in his "hagiography of criminals" mode at the time, because the album contains the equally heinous "Joey," a tribute to mob thug Joey Gallo. <br /><br />The album is redeemed, however, by the sprightly "Mozambique," the ominous "One More Cup of Coffee" and that delightful bit of pure Dylanny genius, "Black Diamond Bay." <br /><br />Otherwise, it's really not a very good album. peterikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-1299431595745488992014-04-21T09:14:51.578-07:002014-04-21T09:14:51.578-07:00Google just hired this female scientist for their ...<i>Google just hired this female scientist for their venture to defeat death.
