Oh the irony of this clip. Remember when they Slammy awards were first on MTV? Piper got up on stage and said he would play Sun City in South Africa. You old schoolers will know what I'm talking about.
@thejesman...it's a reference to "Bebe's Kids"...A popular skit from the late Robyn Harris...&...I think...At the time,an animated movie that was coming out at the time based on it...
Bad News Brown made fun of Piper's Scottish heritage by calling his kilt a skirt and Piper made fun of Bad News in return. Both made fun of the other, typical late 80's-early 90's Piper feud. If you don't like Piper's promos and style, then don't watch him.
this was awesome for the time cause this was when bad news allen or brown forget was saying piper was racist and then wrestlemania came around and he walked out in that i never forgot the look on my black friends face he looked at me and slapped me saying thank u for buying this and he has been a wrestling fan ever since.
Read Piper's bio sometime, he writes about black wrestlers who helped him come up through the ranks being his real fathers. It's a great book but makes this video all the sadder because it shows how promoters pushed racism.
For Bad News Brown it wasn’t funny, according to him he thought the whole black face angle was ridiculous and called Roddy Piper and Vince McMahon racists for doing it.
Does anyone have the video of Piper with half of his body in black paint saying he's every man's wrestler. He supposedly did that due to the fallout he got from almost causing a riot at MSG for dropping the N-bomb on some fans in the crowd.
It's plausible, considering that he called Mr. T's fans "porch monkeys" back when he was cutting promos leading to Wrestlemania I.
Rowdy Piper is the real deal for sure- He is legitimate in all ways, he was trained by Gene Lebelle, and owns a black belt in Judo- For those who dont know who Gene Lebelle is, look it up..
Kinda sucks that their WM VI match ended in a double count-out...now that I think about it, Bad News Brown never really had a decent WM victory: his trophy was smashed at IV, DDQ with Duggan at V and DCO with Piper...
why is it that white people protest "white power" it's called racism, but when black people protest "black power" it's just pride for their race & not racism?
Uh, probably because the white power movement is filled with people who just wanna kill some minorities, while most in the black power movement only wanted equal rights?
You're equating the black power movement simply with the civil rights movement. Might want to actually read into the history of militant black power groups as they are some of the biggest racists around.
@Marsrox100 _____ power movements are all about killing people for their own gains. Black power, white power, it's all the same. They're morons who simply want power and are willing to do anything for it.
@RandomUsername010 I would very much like you to learn some history in general before making ignorant comments. ____ Power movements are all based on ignorance, fear, anger, and hatred.

i don,t like it how alot of blacks cry about there problems an come to whites when they have problems i shouldint say that cause i ask people for change an sometimes i ask blacks for change an there nice enough to give it to me but i dont like the ones that are like hey let me borrow some money cause i use to ride in the back of the bus or my people were once slaves we all have problems in this world an nobody dont feel sorry for nobody i dont bring my problems to there peeps i tuff it out
racism has run thru piper's career. from the 'white is right' feud in the late 70's thru to this odd and not convincing bid for fan fave at wm. in a career which has been a thrill to watch, this angle was the hardest one to swallow for me.
I find absolutely nothing wrong with the term 'colored'. "Colored" is a completely reasonable to describe the balck man. Otherwise what would become of the NAACP?
I literally laughed until tears were leaking from my eyes!!! Hot Rod kicks ass!! And people who don't think this is drop dead fuckin hilarious have a stick up their asses
If we're going to be technical about it, ALL colors are shades. But that doesn't change my point; 'colored' is a stupid term. Actually, all colors being shades helps.
I recognize what the world is, but its my own view point that effects me the most. Which is why I'm not upset bout this video. This is such a small remark on a history of injustice towards people for there color. But the reason they do that i find more interest in. Divide and conquer. Could you imagine the scene of the flower power hippies stood together with the gun totting black militants? The government has law in place to control and attack all citizens, they just do it differently to whites
Also i don't like the termed colored but use it when people refer to Americans as Whites or Blacks. those are colors that associated with different sides of a segregated American culture. I see America as a colorless culture of choice. I really don't care about what others see or believe as long as they dont impose there belief or ignorance on me. I dont mind preconceptions, as long as you stay open to me as an individual and take time to get to know me. Race should never define who you are.
maybe in a perfect world, but this world is far from perfect. I've never let my color define me as person but it certainly is a great part of how I've defined myself and how it defines my walk through this world as well. I never said that you could not build your own small space in this world but realize that thats all you will have is a small space so dont be suprised when you learn that the rest of the world doesnt make sense and it would rather under value, under estimate and marginalize you
I don't think the problem a black minority is the problem. I think the problem is a non intelligent majority that keeps it this way. I class myself more on openess and intelligence. I would say you are also open and intelligent. this is all i really need to know about you. I don't care if your old or young, black or white. I can tell you have a good open heart and a strong intelligence. We need more people like yourself no matter the color and maybe we will start to see things change.
Least qualified for what. Its a game to make you think that you are under attack. Blacks are and always have been scapegoats. They create separation to play both sides against each other. To keep the differences in front of there face. Who gives a fuck about the Media we know who controls them. A man can only representative himself unless others follow that man. He can be black and half his followers are white. Does he still represent the black "race".
It depends on the issues he fighting for King had white followers so did Ghandi but were there whites suffering the same injustices at the same level as blacks during the civil rights movement?
Well it depends on who your talking about. Whites who were speaking out against the injustice could be classed as a nigger or nigger lover and get it just as bad. They could become enemies to whites for respect the rights of blacks and enemies to black just cause there white. This type of separation is what i'm against. Its more of a rich poor middle class battle than it is race battle. Its just that government has sought to keep us, as a majority, in the poor class. now its the Latinos
Most stereotypical comedy on TV is made to expose the extreme differences between different races in America. Races associated with the founding of certain traditions claim race culture in America. Claiming things like acting white or black. But those that present it on TV want to expose you to the extreme differences between races, which helps keep us a segregated American culture. This kind of ignorance is apart of American culture, based upon the history of blacks on American TV
how many people do you think actually understands that? The Boondocks is an excellent example of your analysis. I understand what Magruder's message is but I think his delivery is compromised by the fact that most people see what he casts as extreme to be totally normal thereby leaving most of his audience unphased by the message he intended to put across. Now ask yourself who owns and contriolls those networks and approves the content? Even BET is white owned and look at its content.
I love boondocks, and i think he is just as extreme with his white characters also. But i see alot of people that act like a Riley Freeman as teenagers and up, Black, Latin, even whites represent the same time of street mentality that Riley has. I don't think Magruder has a message as much as he making fun of common perceptions of certain types of people.
As a black man, if i see a black man. I don't think he represents me. Though, i realize he may effect how ignorant people see me. To say he's black and expect certain characteristics in his character is stupid. Now to say hes from the hood or suburb, or he a teenager, or he's a Muslim says a lot more about the person than what color he is. We are forced to see ourselves as one black people because our government saw us as one black people(property). Thats a horrible stigma to have and hold on to
then you answer me this, why is piper using black face to represent what he is obviously beilieves is an interpretation an "African American." and at that time do you think that he only came in contact with ignorant black people, oops excuse me "African Americans?"
I don't think of it as an interpretation of a African American, but a representation of a period in American Culture. I can't say for sure that piper was the only creative mind behind this promo, but i would agree its a bit tasteless and ignorant. But i could just as easily laugh it off than say all blacks should be offended. Its a man playing a character who is playing 2 characters. I'm sure the idea was not to represent any black people piper knew, but to make skit based upon black face
I disagree, with your first point, I do think its an interpretation of an african american, otherwise why would he bother to use the broken english(ebonics) that whites feel is so synonymous with African American people or for that matter why use the Black face? I will refer you to Amos and Andy, achetypes of African Americans portrayed in black face by white actors Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll. An insult is not easily laughed off when its intended to cut so deep.
Well when dealing with Slaves and early American blacks, you must use broken English since it was illegal to read, most blacks were illiterate. I don't agree that black face properly represents black people or African American culture. But it does represent American entertainment. Its how it was and is in America. To play a "black" on screen you can tribal African, ignorant slave,housekeeper, butler, or from the "hood". Its very recent that colored people were able to create there own.
this is the very reason I believe you and anyone else should be insulted and it amazes me how you can be so nonchalant about what this video represents. It even puzzles me more how you can use the term colored the way you have. Colored what if you dont mind me asking?
I see alot of white people who say that black people should focus on indiviualism but as individuals we remain powerless and voiceless about issues of injustices that still seem to be happening to just us and isnt the saying that a threat to one is a threat to all a viable one, or only when the power structure wants to apply it to fighting unjust wars?
Individualism doesn't have to mean you only focus on yourself. It means you become independent and separate yourself from the stereotypes and ignorant ideas, and choose. Also, to see yourself and all others as independent but no different from yourself, all people without bonds of the physical. But connected by love and respect for each others existence. Knowing that we are all the same at the core but separated by circumstance and choice. Humans must connect with Humans, Not colors with colors
not only does another black man represent you in this society but as you said, he also effects how you are perceived by this society. Have you ever noticed how white owned mainstream media makes rap culture synonymous with African-American Culture and how they choose the least qualified Individuals to speak for the entire group? You should take note of how this only happens to African-American community while at the same time we're being told to focus on being individuals. you see a game here?
See that's my issue, i don't want someone to see me to see a black man, a representative of black people. I just want to be seen as a MAN, a representative of my family and the people I'm connected to. Media has played a large part of shaping American culture lines. But its a Matrix. Thinking rap is black, ebonics is black. It may come or be popularized by blacks, but is as American as apple pie. The Media is only trying to make people feel different because of there color.
think of what you just said, you dont want people to see you as black but just as a Man. Do you honestly think that there wont be any negative prejudicial thoughts by white people the minute they SEE you? I want the same thing you do but I have to be realalistic. There is no such thing as a color blind society. and as long as the word tolerance takes the place of word acceptance and the term "Minority" still exists and we as black people still use it to refer to ourselves, nothing changes.
That's my point thats there personal issue. But i wont leave thing all white people are racist because that guy wanted to be a biget. I don't mind colors in society, i just don't like the fact that we should unite as blacks. I think we should unite as people that want continue the work of making color less and less important, as it serves little purpose of understanding a person outside of the stereotypes placed on that color or race.
Thats an admirable notion butnot a realistic one, as you and I debate to find common ground there are people in power who are plotting the demise of black people. the sterilization programs that ended in the early 80's, Tuskeegee experiment, and bombing of Tulsa,OK amid other examples in history of state sanctioned racism are things that are not easily dismissed as old sentiment in America. there are deliberate laws such as no urban dictate designed to keep blacks powerless. go research it.
Racism is a psychological operation to separate human beings from each other based upon physical appearance. They class skin colors together, physical features together great the idea of different types of human beings. Such as the idea that blacks were less than Human. Keeping different cultures, genders, generations, and religions. From accepting one another. Race is the weakest of these separations. Skin color does not effect your life like, your culture, gender, age, or religion.
I just think we should be able to laugh at how ridiculous the mindset is, than get angry over it. Its not rooted in anything solid. Its not like he educating people, or speaking on race relations to people across the nation. Roddy Piper mocks the "black face", slave mentality. The US FBI & CIA attacked Black Panthers and young leaders as the greatest enemies of the US nation, as well as preforming experimentation on college students using LSD and other drugs.
Offensive! of course hes fucking Roddy Piper he is offensive by nature. But its stupid to say that blacks should find it funny or be offended. Its about individuals, some blacks find it funny and some not so funny and some whites may find it funny and some not. Whats more important is why you find it funny. Me, i found it interesting and i respect Piper as a performer but it wasn't my favorite promo. But its classic piper hate it or love it, its Your choice. Let others be free to choose to.
please don't spin the individual excuse to me, I hear that all the time but whenever somethings jumps off that people like yourself thinks that we should all be united about like a war you totally forget this shit like piper pulled that does offend a large group of people. I'm sorry but I dont respect Piper
Its not a matter of respect its a matter of you not imposing what you believe on other people. Why think we are similar when we are the same color, when its all the same flesh? Its better to represent your culture than your color, Your color has nothing to do with who you are and what you believe in. Race is a system of separating humanity. You should look with understanding eyes not judgmental. Explain the history behind why this and why its offensive. Dont just slam blacks for finding it funny
I beg to differ as someone 38 whos experienced racism in its most overt form. First of all its very condecending for Piper to be in black face representing an extreme charaterization of blacks that whites created to demorally humorize blacks as uneducated bafoons, he even went further by suggesting the black portion of his charater was ignorant. its no mistaking hes representing what he thinks is BLACK culture.
Black is a color, African American represents a culture in America. You act like its a stretch of the imagination that at some point a black slave would sound completely ignorant in the face of sharecropper or slave owner. A lot black people i see on TV sound just as ignorant. A slave, more often than not, is an uneducated bafoon because education was illegal for them thus would make him ignorant. Its a moment it time of African American culture being made fun of.
what difference does that make? so he had a black side man in the movie, that doesn't stop this promo from being tasteless, I'd be interested to know what he really knows about Mandella
big deal. you twats complain about everything. so are shemales in sideshows sexist when half their bodies look male and the other half female? the whole world's going to hell because of anti-racist-but-actually-racist-twats like you. l8r losers.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
And now, you can see Piper say he loves Blacks or stuff like that because of what? Because of money. He hides his true set of mind because he is greedy with the money.
Piper DOES say there's no difference between black and white, See what he's trying to say? He even kinda praises Nelson Mandela, the man who helped end apartheid and brought democracy to the citizens of South Africa.
From what I've seen I don't think Piper's being racist. Besides, the WWF would have been sued if there was any hint of racism in this promo.
You see, Roddy got called a sharecropper by a black dude. It's just as racist to me, a guy who has never owned a slave and comes from a family who NEVER owned slaves being called that. It's fucked up to say that some guy is a slave owner JUST BECAUSE he's WHITE. Or, the guys on Dead Presidents going around in whiteface, which was funny...don't bitch about that stuff or you give it credence and power over you, remember words is words, man. Deeds is deeds.

Piper was excellent on the mic but sorry folks he wasn't shit for a wrestler! His best 3 matches were against Greg Valentine in the dog collar match, when he lost the I-C title to Bret at Summer Slam, and beating Hogan with a sleeper in WCW. Now as for him not liking Blacks I don't know him so I can't say however he did help out Virgil's career in the WWE in the early 1990's.
Piper and Bret Hart fought at Wrestlemania for the IC title. The match was in the Hoosier Dome in Indianapolis. That was the double main event year, MachoMan vs Ric Flair for the World Championship and Hulk Hogan vs Sid Justice
Ditto! He's one of the first few non-Japanese wrestlers introduced judo techniques to pro-wrestling. FYI: Roddy's a black belter and national judo champ
Remember when Roddy was walking around Sunset Blvd at night with his kilt on getting into altercations with belligerant people who didn't know who he was back in the 70's? Haha.. Roddy was a lot of fun. I hope he's winning his fight with cancer.
you are so right on that note, people need to settle down and rember stickes and stones...You know, and yes it was an awesome display of flexibility and just good fun, I don't buy into any of the hate crap and all, I think if Piper would mimic you he was flattering you, you know...
Oh the irony of this clip. Remember when they Slammy awards were first on MTV? Piper got up on stage and said he would play Sun City in South Africa. You old schoolers will know what I'm talking about.

I recognize what the world is, but its my own view point that effects me the most. Which is why I'm not upset bout this video. This is such a small remark on a history of injustice towards people for there color. But the reason they do that i find more interest in. Divide and conquer. Could you imagine the scene of the flower power hippies stood together with the gun totting black militants? The government has law in place to control and attack all citizens, they just do it differently to whites
Visionary28 3 years ago
Also i don't like the termed colored but use it when people refer to Americans as Whites or Blacks. those are colors that associated with different sides of a segregated American culture. I see America as a colorless culture of choice. I really don't care about what others see or believe as long as they dont impose there belief or ignorance on me. I dont mind preconceptions, as long as you stay open to me as an individual and take time to get to know me. Race should never define who you are.
Visionary28 3 years ago
maybe in a perfect world, but this world is far from perfect. I've never let my color define me as person but it certainly is a great part of how I've defined myself and how it defines my walk through this world as well. I never said that you could not build your own small space in this world but realize that thats all you will have is a small space so dont be suprised when you learn that the rest of the world doesnt make sense and it would rather under value, under estimate and marginalize you

I don't think the problem a black minority is the problem. I think the problem is a non intelligent majority that keeps it this way. I class myself more on openess and intelligence. I would say you are also open and intelligent. this is all i really need to know about you. I don't care if your old or young, black or white. I can tell you have a good open heart and a strong intelligence. We need more people like yourself no matter the color and maybe we will start to see things change.
Visionary28 3 years ago
Least qualified for what. Its a game to make you think that you are under attack. Blacks are and always have been scapegoats. They create separation to play both sides against each other. To keep the differences in front of there face. Who gives a fuck about the Media we know who controls them. A man can only representative himself unless others follow that man. He can be black and half his followers are white. Does he still represent the black "race".
Visionary28 3 years ago
It depends on the issues he fighting for King had white followers so did Ghandi but were there whites suffering the same injustices at the same level as blacks during the civil rights movement?
alfathree 3 years ago
Well it depends on who your talking about. Whites who were speaking out against the injustice could be classed as a nigger or nigger lover and get it just as bad. They could become enemies to whites for respect the rights of blacks and enemies to black just cause there white. This type of separation is what i'm against. Its more of a rich poor middle class battle than it is race battle. Its just that government has sought to keep us, as a majority, in the poor class. now its the Latinos
Visionary28 3 years ago
Most stereotypical comedy on TV is made to expose the extreme differences between different races in America. Races associated with the founding of certain traditions claim race culture in America. Claiming things like acting white or black. But those that present it on TV want to expose you to the extreme differences between races, which helps keep us a segregated American culture. This kind of ignorance is apart of American culture, based upon the history of blacks on American TV
Visionary28 3 years ago
how many people do you think actually understands that? The Boondocks is an excellent example of your analysis. I understand what Magruder's message is but I think his delivery is compromised by the fact that most people see what he casts as extreme to be totally normal thereby leaving most of his audience unphased by the message he intended to put across. Now ask yourself who owns and contriolls those networks and approves the content? Even BET is white owned and look at its content.
alfathree 3 years ago
I love boondocks, and i think he is just as extreme with his white characters also. But i see alot of people that act like a Riley Freeman as teenagers and up, Black, Latin, even whites represent the same time of street mentality that Riley has. I don't think Magruder has a message as much as he making fun of common perceptions of certain types of people.
Visionary28 3 years ago
As a black man, if i see a black man. I don't think he represents me. Though, i realize he may effect how ignorant people see me. To say he's black and expect certain characteristics in his character is stupid. Now to say hes from the hood or suburb, or he a teenager, or he's a Muslim says a lot more about the person than what color he is. We are forced to see ourselves as one black people because our government saw us as one black people(property). Thats a horrible stigma to have and hold on to
Visionary28 3 years ago
then you answer me this, why is piper using black face to represent what he is obviously beilieves is an interpretation an "African American." and at that time do you think that he only came in contact with ignorant black people, oops excuse me "African Americans?"
alfathree 3 years ago
I don't think of it as an interpretation of a African American, but a representation of a period in American Culture. I can't say for sure that piper was the only creative mind behind this promo, but i would agree its a bit tasteless and ignorant. But i could just as easily laugh it off than say all blacks should be offended. Its a man playing a character who is playing 2 characters. I'm sure the idea was not to represent any black people piper knew, but to make skit based upon black face
Visionary28 3 years ago
I disagree, with your first point, I do think its an interpretation of an african american, otherwise why would he bother to use the broken english(ebonics) that whites feel is so synonymous with African American people or for that matter why use the Black face? I will refer you to Amos and Andy, achetypes of African Americans portrayed in black face by white actors Freeman Gosden and Charles Correll. An insult is not easily laughed off when its intended to cut so deep.
alfathree 3 years ago
Well when dealing with Slaves and early American blacks, you must use broken English since it was illegal to read, most blacks were illiterate. I don't agree that black face properly represents black people or African American culture. But it does represent American entertainment. Its how it was and is in America. To play a "black" on screen you can tribal African, ignorant slave,housekeeper, butler, or from the "hood". Its very recent that colored people were able to create there own.
Visionary28 3 years ago
this is the very reason I believe you and anyone else should be insulted and it amazes me how you can be so nonchalant about what this video represents. It even puzzles me more how you can use the term colored the way you have. Colored what if you dont mind me asking?

I see alot of white people who say that black people should focus on indiviualism but as individuals we remain powerless and voiceless about issues of injustices that still seem to be happening to just us and isnt the saying that a threat to one is a threat to all a viable one, or only when the power structure wants to apply it to fighting unjust wars?
alfathree 3 years ago
Individualism doesn't have to mean you only focus on yourself. It means you become independent and separate yourself from the stereotypes and ignorant ideas, and choose. Also, to see yourself and all others as independent but no different from yourself, all people without bonds of the physical. But connected by love and respect for each others existence. Knowing that we are all the same at the core but separated by circumstance and choice. Humans must connect with Humans, Not colors with colors
Visionary28 3 years ago
not only does another black man represent you in this society but as you said, he also effects how you are perceived by this society. Have you ever noticed how white owned mainstream media makes rap culture synonymous with African-American Culture and how they choose the least qualified Individuals to speak for the entire group? You should take note of how this only happens to African-American community while at the same time we're being told to focus on being individuals. you see a game here?
alfathree 3 years ago
See that's my issue, i don't want someone to see me to see a black man, a representative of black people. I just want to be seen as a MAN, a representative of my family and the people I'm connected to. Media has played a large part of shaping American culture lines. But its a Matrix. Thinking rap is black, ebonics is black. It may come or be popularized by blacks, but is as American as apple pie. The Media is only trying to make people feel different because of there color.
Visionary28 3 years ago
think of what you just said, you dont want people to see you as black but just as a Man. Do you honestly think that there wont be any negative prejudicial thoughts by white people the minute they SEE you? I want the same thing you do but I have to be realalistic. There is no such thing as a color blind society. and as long as the word tolerance takes the place of word acceptance and the term "Minority" still exists and we as black people still use it to refer to ourselves, nothing changes.
alfathree 3 years ago
That's my point thats there personal issue. But i wont leave thing all white people are racist because that guy wanted to be a biget. I don't mind colors in society, i just don't like the fact that we should unite as blacks. I think we should unite as people that want continue the work of making color less and less important, as it serves little purpose of understanding a person outside of the stereotypes placed on that color or race.
Visionary28 3 years ago
Thats an admirable notion butnot a realistic one, as you and I debate to find common ground there are people in power who are plotting the demise of black people. the sterilization programs that ended in the early 80's, Tuskeegee experiment, and bombing of Tulsa,OK amid other examples in history of state sanctioned racism are things that are not easily dismissed as old sentiment in America. there are deliberate laws such as no urban dictate designed to keep blacks powerless. go research it.
alfathree 3 years ago
Racism is a psychological operation to separate human beings from each other based upon physical appearance. They class skin colors together, physical features together great the idea of different types of human beings. Such as the idea that blacks were less than Human. Keeping different cultures, genders, generations, and religions. From accepting one another. Race is the weakest of these separations. Skin color does not effect your life like, your culture, gender, age, or religion.
Visionary28 3 years ago
I just think we should be able to laugh at how ridiculous the mindset is, than get angry over it. Its not rooted in anything solid. Its not like he educating people, or speaking on race relations to people across the nation. Roddy Piper mocks the "black face", slave mentality. The US FBI & CIA attacked Black Panthers and young leaders as the greatest enemies of the US nation, as well as preforming experimentation on college students using LSD and other drugs.

Its about individuals, some blacks find it funny and some not so funny and some whites may find it funny and some not. Whats more important is why you find it funny. Me, i found it interesting and i respect Piper as a performer but it wasn't my favorite promo. But its classic piper hate it or love it, its Your choice. Let others be free to choose to.
Visionary28 3 years ago
please don't spin the individual excuse to me, I hear that all the time but whenever somethings jumps off that people like yourself thinks that we should all be united about like a war you totally forget this shit like piper pulled that does offend a large group of people. I'm sorry but I dont respect Piper
alfathree 3 years ago
Its not a matter of respect its a matter of you not imposing what you believe on other people. Why think we are similar when we are the same color, when its all the same flesh? Its better to represent your culture than your color, Your color has nothing to do with who you are and what you believe in. Race is a system of separating humanity. You should look with understanding eyes not judgmental. Explain the history behind why this and why its offensive. Dont just slam blacks for finding it funny
Visionary28 3 years ago
I beg to differ as someone 38 whos experienced racism in its most overt form. First of all its very condecending for Piper to be in black face representing an extreme charaterization of blacks that whites created to demorally humorize blacks as uneducated bafoons, he even went further by suggesting the black portion of his charater was ignorant. its no mistaking hes representing what he thinks is BLACK culture.
alfathree 3 years ago
Black is a color, African American represents a culture in America. You act like its a stretch of the imagination that at some point a black slave would sound completely ignorant in the face of sharecropper or slave owner. A lot black people i see on TV sound just as ignorant. A slave, more often than not, is an uneducated bafoon because education was illegal for them thus would make him ignorant. Its a moment it time of African American culture being made fun of.

Piper was excellent on the mic but sorry folks he wasn't shit for a wrestler! His best 3 matches were against Greg Valentine in the dog collar match, when he lost the I-C title to Bret at Summer Slam, and beating Hogan with a sleeper in WCW. Now as for him not liking Blacks I don't know him so I can't say however he did help out Virgil's career in the WWE in the early 1990's.
