    The world felt his pain and we were on his side…just for him to go back into the midst of these snakes to make an ass out of himself? He’s providing comedy for the same people who cheered while he caught the ass woopin of a lifetime. And it’s painfully well known that Fox News are OPEN racists. I still got love for Rodney but this is just sad and pathetic. He needs to wake the hell up and stop being a clown for these devils.

    I would like to see Rodney go up against one of those officers who whoop his A$$ initially. I bet it would be a whole different story.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/perrydee2002/ perrydee2002

    I agree with some of the comments on here, The money he got from that beating, he should have put that money to use like investing, or something, They’re getting the last Laugh, They’re making him look like a fool, And probably that ex-cop gonna whip his Butt, But Rodney don’t care, he’s just trying to make ends meet, Sad though,Those people are making him look like a Fool! Either he knows or just doesn’t Care! Sad!

    I’m glad Rodeny has a fair chance to fight a former Police Officer in a boxing match. He was totally over matched when he was beat by four or five Cops with batons and tazers. I just hope Rodney wins, and I respect this former Cop to actually put on gloves and get in the ring with Rodney. He’s got more guts then those other Cops which they all beat Rodeny gang member style. At least one of the Cops can live his life with some pieace of mind, whether he wins or losses. Hope you win Rodeny.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/alpo360/ alpo360

    yea the race card i hope he wins da fight, and peep all the nobodeys trying to say they are makin him look bad dude is somethn like celeb status so eat a dikk. and s prolly bout to get a bank roll eithr way tha fight goes hes been through worse so he should get on that white boys ass like white on rice. id rather see him fight one of the fat bastards that pulled that hoe s**t bakk in the day, i refuse to say they beatm they went out like cowards and will b that in this life and the next.

    They asked Rodney King to be in Playboy? Are you serious? This World is Sh*tty. Bon nuit!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/okkii69/ okkii69

    I know it seems stupid what there doing, but actually Rodeny and the former Cop are genius. That whole beating case destroyed there lives man, and Rodeny didn’t know how to handle his money like so many poor blacks. I just hope after the fight they make up and become friends, if there not already friends. These are two men that are prabably finacially destitue, and need to brain wash on this idea in order to survive in this bad economy despite the pass. I know it seems stupid to some posters, but rappers aren’t no different writing songs to get out of poverty and the hood. The watermelon and popcorn statement is just to bring in the racist money, racist bring in money to, its business there trying to do here. Actually, if they could make it racist, then it would bring in a lot of money. This could lead to TV shows and other stuff Rodeny and the Cop could do, there working together.

    Rodney, man, leave it alone. If it’s not one of the actual cops that did it to you, just leave well enough alone.

    I think Rodney King using that traumatic situation not only shows the world (especially those jerks who beat him down)that he’s stuck back in 1991 when the beating occured, it’s also showing that he’s become a slave to the situation.

    How not to be a slave, Rodney King? By NOT allowing yourself to be pimped and exploited by the tragedies of your past! Take the rope of mediocrity off your neck by ditching the drugs, toss the alcohol, stop beating up on your girlfriends or whoever, and know WHO you are and the REAL purpose to why you survived that hellish situation over a decade ago!

    All I heard about Rodney King since the incident was negative things- how he was arrested for beating up his wife or girlfriend and him being stung out drugs. Then I saw him on a VH1 show called “Celebrity Rehab” where he was sitting in a truck guzzling beer. They showed him relapsing more into his habits than the progress he was making trying to get help.

    Many people say Rodney King was beaten so bad by the LAPD that they beat the sense out of his head… I say no, because if he has enough sense to use his ordeal to do reality shows then he’s got enough sense to use his ordeal to launch an organization dedicated to cracking down on Police Brutality and racial profiling, which still exists even though we have a Black President.

    Society gave Rodney a rope to hang himself, now that society moved on to other more current issues, Rodney hasn’t let go of the rope. He keeps pulling out the rope and hanging his own self with it. The best thing Rodney King could do for himself is to not perpetuate the Willie Lynch curse that kept hundreds of thousand generations of African Americans in bondage.

    Rodney, yes,show your face in the limelight, but show it doing something POSTIVE and CONSTRUCTIVE with yourself. The best revenge you can serve any a&# hole who tried to take you down in life is that you moved FORWARD not backward.

    Wake up. You’re not a slave anymore, brother.

    Is it me or does he look just like Micheal Vick?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Heart_Mender67/ Heart_Mender67

    Why would he say watermelon slices?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/JDoesky/ JDoesky

    Why did they try to make this into a special event? He shouldn’t be boxing, he should beat his @$$ with a nightstick like they did him; and have 5 of Mr. King’s friends with him to help.

    To blkdiamond, u really shouldn’t speak the color that u aint. And this came out the mouth of a supposed cuban, that belongs wo a white group, get the f**k out of here.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/juicychick40/ juicychick40

    WHY after that a$$ beaten would Rodney King want more.is it just me but int that piture doesn’t Rodney King look like M.VICK.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/earlwinfrey/ earlwinfrey

    Either he got hit in the head to many times or he went to a public school. If you know anything about the way the media works. You know he will win. So the next time you say what about what happened to Rodney King? They can say well Rodney King beat the s**t out of that one cop. What about that Black people? So get over it!

    Not saying anything bad about all public schools. I just feel that poor schools in poor communities don’t work.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/filmtress/ filmtress

    I agree with several of the posts here:

    Yes, they didn’t get some random guy. Look at this “former cop”, my guess it that he got let go or fired from the ‘force’ over some controversial involvement with a black guy and is fostering anger about it. He’s looks to be in better shape than Mr. King but you can’t go by that. He’s still smaller/shorter. One thing happens when men get ‘up in age’ and that is they’re bones get heavy and strong! One good landing from an anxious black man harboring 17 years of mistreatment could send this ‘wannabe bad’ former cop into a dizzying coo coo land. Why couldn’t they get one of the cops who humiliated him? You know why? Cause they’re no match alone. They needed each others ‘hooded white sheets’ to carry out that sh*t! I hope Mr. Kind knock this volunteer resentful fool on his ass just for stepping up to fight someone elses fight. (Ha, ha) Notice, the cop started to nervously fidget as King spoke of his history with his Dad & brothers on watching fights. This shows that King’s understanding of boxing extends beyond the amateur ring. Added that King excitedly expressed (with class) looking forward to getting ‘his turn in the ring’. (watch it again, the boy gets nervous). I’d be scared too if I was the guinea pig for stupid cops that don’t have the nerve to step up themselves.

    They couldn’t even get a REAL WHITE cop!! Rodney King…need to change his name to Rodney Joker. Letting himself be exploited for the almighty dollar. Makes me want to break out my night stick and start whooping his azzs.
