I find it difficult to empathize with neegrows who carry guns, get shot up in hood clubs, won't show up for practice, wreck motorcylces with millions on the line, beat women, get robbed for flossin in the hood, or get fined for stupidity by the league. Burress is just another example of when black folks shake theirs and dread the watercooler conversations the next day at the office.

The sad cliched line "You can't take a n.... out of the hood, but you can't take the hood out the n...!" rings true once again. I'm ashamed of these black athletes, rappers and hoodrat talk show suedo celebrities to tear our race down one stereotype at a time. Seems like 90% of the idiots gettting expelled from college for weed, fighting or something stupid just shows the league needs to cut them.

u ain't said nothing but the truth.

i find it hard to have sympathy for them cause there have been plenty of examples in their choosen field as to avoid putting yourself into stupid situations but like the other poster said they seem to think it won't happen to them.

now after signing for big bucks he has done nothing but clown, got hurt and then he shoots himself on top of that.

instead of rehabing and getting back on the field he's in the club and shots himself. just ignorant shyt and sadly it continues to run rampis with our young black men like u said u can take the him out the hood but can't take the hood out of him.

where else is he going to be allowed to act like he has no damn sense and collect big time money? just cause he can catch a football his antics have been accepted but what he fails to understand is he can be replaced.

u r right u never know what someone is going through but lawd rich or poor common sense seems to be lacking in so many people now days.

if plax is/was having problems the giants didn't just treat him like a piece of meat they offered him help but he didn't acept it then again he probably didn't have sense enough to realize he needed help.

i just hate to see anyone watse an opportunity cause nothing is promised to anyone and some people act like they just don't appreciate things.
