Ron Artest Represents Black Culture Better Than Basically Everyone Else

Says Ron Artest.


"Hopefully, he's not fighting anymore and going after a guy in the stands," Yao said, according to the Chronicle.

When asked about those comments, Artest said Yao had bought into "all the propaganda" about him, according to The Sacramento Bee.

"I understand what Yao said, but I'm still ghetto," Artest said, according to the report. "That's not going to change. I'm never going to change my culture. Yao has played with a lot of black players, but I don't think he's ever played with a black player that really represents his culture as much as I represent my culture. Once Yao Ming gets to know me, he'll understand what I'm about."





There's no reason for any of this post. I just wanted to give that picture an airing.

When I heard Artest's words on ESPN, I was kinda dumbfounded. He basically equated African American culture to brawling and having a short temper. Thanks Ronny for your part in fighting negative sterotypes about black people. You rock.
