read in an article the other day a thing about leon spins he's fighting a new cruiserweight
and it was weird cause i saw billy crystal on this show last night he was talking about ali
these guys it's it's amazing they have these wonderful careers and they kind of disappear
and now leon i'm i'm kind of glad he's gone i mean i don't mean to be mean but as a black man
when leon would fight i never really cared who won the fight i was really sitting on
my couch at home praying god please don't let leon get interviewed after this fight is over
i mean see you don't understand but as a black man that's 200 years out the window okay you know what
i'm talking about right yes indeed i don't care who you are you can be like a nasa scientist when
leon start talking at serious english on tv you find yourself out in the backyard go down moses
you know
y'all know what i'm talking about god knew what he was doing he gave us leon spinks gave y'all billy
carter right it's embarrassing just to see him on tv you know and i'm looking at this article
they have a picture of leon's family and like leon we know has teeth missing but his wife had
teeth missing this is true yeah his brother michael springs was a boxer he had a tooth
missing over here they had a dog the damn dog didn't have no teeth really this dog is posing
there's like a car in the background with no grill in the front i'm looking who are these people
oh thank you um see i noticed black people on tv you know i mean what can i say
i watch commercials a lot the way they portray black people on some of these commercials
i mean if a white guy walks in mcdonald's there's no dignity lost right you know he's a nice guy
with a briefcase hi could i have a quarter pound or a large fry and a milkshake please you know
he's that's my caucasian voice thank you very much
