From 5:55s on - this is the sanitized version of the interview. Before that he was yelling expletives. You can see ego written all over Bailey's face. Bolt never denigrates his rivals. </div></div>

Listen...I saw it live at CBC headquarters and it is not as you remember it. Trust me.He accused him of faking injury and said mek im tek im licks like a man. He did apologize. In the video, he is excited not being boastful....but once again that is not really what I want to focus on.

Re: Is Usain Bolt a Living Legend?

In the interview he said he's a chicken, a chicken he did not pull up, he knew he was losing. Then he says he wants to do over the race so he can kick his [censored] again. I swear I remember watching this on JBC in Jamaica and he was yelling he's a p....ssy before being interviewed.

yes...playing the role....of nothing serious...the musical of how the world sees us (as in black people).

Re: Is Usain Bolt a Living Legend?

TreyJ I will answer you in the Donovan Bailey thread. It's interesting that you are going off on a Donovan Bailey tangent and skirting the core issues of Usain pushing himself up pon white folks, banging blondes and acting like he is too good for Black women now that im turn living legend.

I notice few Black men will call other men on this as likely they are secretly fantasizing about having the same thing happen to them and getting a vicarious thrill at the thought of Bolt banging some skanky bleach blonde.

Re: Is Usain Bolt a Living Legend?

I honestly don't follow his personal business that closely. If it makes front page news of the Gleaner or Observer then I can't escape it. I see little evidence for him abandoning black women and going for white women now that he is famous. I don't count him posing up with Swedish women as 'conquests' unless more information is forthcoming.

...and the blonde who was in the taxi at 5 AM wearing the long belt (it certainly wasn't a skirt) was his publicist.

Re: Is Usain Bolt a Living Legend?

What is it that he is to understand about being a Black Man? And what hype is he buying? I'll need you to be specific.

Sounds like you are having issues with him having sex with white women.

Warren Weir is a bronze medalist and not a double Olympic gold medalist who has set world records. There is a big difference there with who will get the medias' attention.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Tropicana</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I am not taking anything away from his accomplishments...in fact <span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-weight: bold">in the opening post, I focused very little on a lapse in judgement in calling himself a legend.

My main point is that he doesn't seem to understand what it means to be a Black man and he is buying hte hype. He is partying with and rooksin White girls, turning his back on Black women. He has been going around saying he wants to party with Princes William and Harry and he has invited them to come down to Jamaica to party with him. Just because Prince Harry interacted with him on an official visit does not men he and dem a friend.

My main point in posting this is that he just doesn't &quot;get it&quot;. Whatever one accomplishes as a Black man is discounted so one had better not be so quick to push up one self pon white people and turn your back on your own.<span style="font-weight: bold"> THAT </span>is my main point here....and yes he could show more humility like our female athletes do and like the young Warren Weir did. It's great that he puts on a show but wait for others to big you up don't big up yourself.


Rogue...yes Rogue not Rogge, did not give Usain an out and out endorsement as a legend. It was a watered down, half hearted attempt to cover his tracks.

I must say that Lloyd Roberston on CTV has really been giving Usain the recognition he deserves...good for him. He also commended the UK Olympic team for being truly multi-cultural. Good for him. There is hope. </div></div>

Did you hear about the fuss created by Bolt's presence in the athlete village? And how some of his own team mates had to act as bodyguards where ever he went. A lot of athletes/non athletes want to pose up with Bolt. He has transcended the sport, perhaps all sport. So my point is I would not be quick to pass judgement on who Bolt may or may not be banging based on pictures you see floating around the internet.

Re: Is Usain Bolt a Living Legend?

I made it REAL clear in the opening post. He was confused and disappointed when Rogue from the IOC discounted his accomplishments and said he was NOT a legend. His record speaks for itself. There should not even be a question about it.

My point is that Bolt is not getting the fact that if you are a Black man or woman in a racist society your achievements will be discounted. What do you not get about the &quot;no big ting&quot; syndrome...I spelled it our really clearly. He should not be surprised when it happens. It's par for the course.


As for this:

Really?

What would <span style="font-weight: bold">EVER</span> give you the impression that I would have a problem with a man having sex with trashy cocktail waitresses ( not saying all cocktail waitresses are trashy) or Black men having sex with White women...especially banging bleach blondes?

Re: Is Usain Bolt a Living Legend?

TreyJ, I suppose you have no problem with him telling everyone who will listen that he is absolutely dying to date a White woman who beat up a Black woman for no reason and was convicted of it either? That's cool by you.

Not cool and again I don't follow his business that closely. But you do know that Cheryl Cole is mixed race and is married to a black man, Ashley Cole who plays for the football club Chelsea.

Re: Is Usain Bolt a Living Legend?

1. She certainly does not look mixed race. I would have to see proof.
2. Are you saying because someone is mixed race it's okay for them to beat up a Black woman for no reason? She was convicted for it.
3. If she is married then he would be a blithering idiot for going on and on about how he wants to date her.
4. Which part a dis is Black..her foot bottom?
