No, No No. An Uncle Tom= Black person who is overly deferential to whites, especiall whites in positions of authority. The Uncle Tom instinctively and automatically adopts the viewpoint that he feels will find favour with the white majority or white authority, whose approval the Uncle Tom despera...

Is wearing a hooded top some sort of crime? I have several hooded tops, they keep my head warm and dry. Apparently it was raining that evening.

Zimmerman had a history of calling police on Black men, over 40 times in the previous yearand he followed an unarmed youth who was on his way home, wit...

Lennox Lewis was not knocked out cold. He got up before the ten count v Macall but the referee decided he was not able to continue. He was unable to beat the ten count v Rahman, but was not unconscious.

I don't think Lewis had a "glass" chin either. He didn't have the very best punch resistanc...

Force and coercion exist in wildly varying degrees in all socieities.

However that is legitimate comparison and certainly no justification or excuse for widespread acts of genocide, mass murder, enslavement, colonisation and wholesale racism that was virtuaally invented by and perpetared en mas...

Your arguments are idiotic. "Voting with their Feet?!" Throughout the history of empire I don't recall the peoples of Asia, Africa or the Americas being given a vote or choice as to whether they wished to be invaded, enslaved, colonised or murdered en masse by Britain or any other European countr...

Very few top level fighters are ever knocked out cold. They are usually floored for the count of ten, unable to defend themselves against the opponents punches or deemed unfit to continue by the referee. However Wladimir Klitchko has been knocked out by mediocre heavyweights like Lamon Brewster, ...

I am wondering if you should have an "F" for fanatical.

The fact is Elijah Muhammed did what he did. Engaged in adulterous relationships and impregnated a number of his young secretaries...who were later expelled from the organisation for breaching its sexual code. Muhammed had his failings lik...

This was a very entertaining fight and the fight that got Ibeabuchi noticed on the world stage. It proved to be one of the last great nights he had in the ring as he was later charged and convicted of a sexual assault which resulted in a lengthy prison sentence; which ended his career. An awful ...

I think the referee was wrong to stop the Byrd-Ibeaubeuchi fight when he did. Byrd was very tricky+ elusive. Had he fought at crusierweight he would have been extremely difficult for anybody to beat. He was too good for most heavyweights in the post Lennox Lewis era though. He won a title+ scored...

Tyson Mercer would have been a very good fight. A fit Tyson beats Mercer by points. Tyson didn't duck Mercer. When could they realistically have fought? Mercer turned professional in 1989 when Tyson was already undisputed world champion. By the time Mercer reached championship class around 1992, ...

A good song, good video by one of the best girl groups of the last thirty years...

A very good debut song by one of the best girl groups of the past thirty years. En Vogue were a very polished and highly competent group. They looked good, they were well styled, well choreographed and all of them were good singers in their right. They produced three or four good albums before th...

I didn't like this record back then and I still don't like it now...

Hagler a wide punching brawler? You sound like somebody whose knowledge of Hagler is limited to the last few fights of his long career, when he tended to slug eg against Hearns or Mugabe. You seem oblivious to the masterful all round boxer, fighter puncher that took apart Hamsho, Sibson, Autoferm...

I actually bought this song when it was released circa 1982. Back then I think a single cost £1.50.

One in Ten was/is a very good record, symbolic of the bleak times of the early 1980s across inner city Britain and the mining and steel communities.

Economic recession, high unemployment, high ...

This record sounds very good over twenty five after it was released. I seem to enjoy it more than I did back then. A nice relaxed background beat, good production and another very good vocal performance by Ali Campbell who was one of the very best and consistently good vocalists in British Music.

Wow, this one takes me back! It was songs like this, King, One in Ten, Present Arms that made UB40 one of my favourite groups of the early 1980s. This is an anthem of what was generally a bleak time in the early 1980s, economic recession, high (youth) unemployment, inner city rioting, falling liv...

This song takes me back to a long hot summer in 1981.

It was an excellent record and one of the best records of the decade. I liked Imagination, they had several good records in the early 1980s, albeit using the same production style and sound. Although "Just an Illusion" was their biggest sell...

A classic record by one of the greatest groups of all time.

I remember watching this video at my Sisters house in the 1970s +being mesmerised by the music, dancing,costumes + the colours. Particularly those worn by the Emotions.They seemed like just about the most glamourous black women that I had ever seen.

Along with other groups of that era such as t...

I remember when this was in the charts! It was a great record by one of the greatest groups of all time. I still love to listen and dance to this record today.

This takes me back...

I am thinking 1978/1979

This was probably my favourite record by what were a very good group. It was tragic that their musical output was cut short by the demise of Bernard Edwards.

The musical sound and production matched the name of the group and the image they wanted ...
