Is Usain Bolt a Living Legend?

Re: Is Usain Bolt a Living Legend?

No - I only brought it up because well uhm the race thing is a bit of an issue for you. Yes she is married and Bolt should know that since he follows the English football league. That is how I know.

I never said mixed race Black (though that could be possible).

Re: Is Usain Bolt a Living Legend?

Then how come this says ex-husband...where is the proof that she is mixed.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Cheryl Cole: from nightclub brawler to nation's sweetheart</span>



<span style="font-weight: bold">Dream team: Cheryl Cole before her split from ex-husband Ashley </span>

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">It wasn't too long ago that the singer, then known as Cheryl Tweedy, was <span style="font-weight: bold">convicted of assaulting a nightclub toilet attendant in what the judge described as &quot;an unpleasant piece of drunken violence [for which] you showed no remorse whatsoever&quot;.</span>
She was sentenced to carry out 120 hours of community service, ordered to pay her victim £500 in compensation and required to pay £3,000 in prosecution costs. The jury unanimously rejected Cole's claim to have acted in self-defence.
The court heard that a drunken and abusive Cole assaulted Sophie Amogbokpa after the toilet attendant asked her to pay for some lollipops. Miss Amogbokpa was left with a black eye and severe bruising.
<span style="font-size: 11pt"><span style="font-weight: bold">Cole was found guilty of assault occasioning actual bodily harm but cleared of an additional charge of racially aggravated assault. Miss Amogbokpa, a black law student, claimed Cole had called her a &quot;jigaboo&quot; and a &quot;----ing black [censored]&quot;.</span></span> </div></div>

.... and she still managed to bag a successful Black man.



<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">
Cole carried out her attack in January 2003, shortly after Girls Aloud emerged as winners of the TV talent show Popstars: The Rivals. She offered to leave the band but the offer was rejected. Girls Aloud went on to defy expectations by notching up a string of hit singles.</div></div>

Seeit deh..,. and after all that a succesful Black man married her and supercharged her career...and now Bolt wants to bed her. Unbelievable.
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The singer set about rehabilitating her image and carving out a career as the most high profile Girls Aloud member.
In July 2006, she married footballer Ashley Cole and sold the exclusive picture rights to a glossy magazine. She famously said: &quot;If anyone cheated on me they'd be dead.&quot;
Eighteen months later, he allegedly slept with a 22-year-old hairdresser after a drunken night out. Cole forgave him and blamed the hairdresser. &quot;Ashley's young, and he's got quite a young mentality for his age anyway. He's learning. He has a beautiful soul.&quot; The public sympathised with Cheryl.
The marriage propelled Cole into a different showbiz league, and she caught the eye of Simon Cowell. He hired her in June 2008 to replace Sharon Osbourne as an X Factor judge. From her humble beginnings as a reality show contestant, she has become a British Vogue covergirl, face of L'Oreal, television star and a chart-topping solo artist.</div></div>

Nice backtracking.

Re: Is Usain Bolt a Living Legend?

This is why I don't follow celebrity news. See it dey dem divorce. Bolt is free to pursue Cheryl to his heart's desire now.

Cute but Cheryl vs Rihanna. Rihanna wins slam dunk hands down - all day, everyday .

Re: Is Usain Bolt a Living Legend?

..and you think it is perfectly cool for him to have the hots for a woman who was convicted of hurling racial slurs at a Black woman and assaulting her?

Re: Is Usain Bolt a Living Legend?

What racist society he lives in? He does not live in Canada or the USA. I do not know if he lives in the UK, but to some degree he resides in Jamaica.

So in your views, it is par for the course that Bolt's achievements will ultimately be discounted because he is a black man.

Don't you realize that you are doing the same as the racist society? Your tone is overtly insensitive towards men.. successful men... black men... successful black men... and (successful) black men who sleep with white women, Tropicana.

As for the &quot;Really?&quot; question ... I won't bother, Tropicana. I know you are a cool woman who is passionate about the things that matter to you. So, let's leave it at that. Good night.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Tropicana</div><div class="ubbcode-body">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? </div></div>

Re: Is Usain Bolt a Living Legend?

Let me try one more time....he lives in Jamaica yet he is surprised when he goes abroad and people like Jacques Rogue from predominantly White societies discount his accomplishments. This is par for the course. He should not be surprised.

Yes VERY passionate.

Anyway, look yah now, I have explained it clearly and I am not explaining it again. There is no way you don't get my point unless you are deliberately trying not to get it. Good night.

Re: Is Usain Bolt a Living Legend?

Can you believe this woman Evanovitch... no one can be THAT naive can they?

BTW did you see the thread I started for Blakkgiant about the article on the front page that claims Jamaica is a multi-racial paradise. I can't believe how many people buy that hype. I would love your reactions.

Re: Is Usain Bolt a Living Legend?

I believe she was convicted for assault and found not guilty on racially aggravated assault. If you accept the jury's verdict I'm not sure why you would make the race of the victim an issue. Now whether you want to get into a relationship with someone disposed to over drinking and acting violently to people when drunk is another matter.

Re: Is Usain Bolt a Living Legend?

Read de link no man...she was convicted... I even quoted from it.

Wait don't tell me YOU have the hots for her too and that's why you are trying to defend her. Didn't you see the photo of the woman she beat up. I posted it a few pages earlier.

Re: Is Usain Bolt a Living Legend?

I stand by my words that you are doing the same as the racist society. Discounting a black man's achievements.

BTW, lots of discussion on TV and in the news about whether or not Usain is a legend and poking fun at him for saying so.

That is such a load of crap.. I specifically said that he is a legend and that the question of whether or not he is a legend shouldn't even come up. It's record speaks for itself. What part of this is discounting?

Surely you aren't as dense as you are coming across right now.

Re: Is Usain Bolt a Living Legend?

So, I'm naive because I disagree with you.
