But I have seen the odd occasion where mixed kids raised by their white families who experience racism from their own family from birth, when they leave he house come out super black lol.

Bruce Lee was very truthful about his own strengths and weaknesses. He sought out knowledge from Gene LaBelle on grappling. He sought out knowledge on karate from Chuck Norris. Bruce was fascinated with boxing because, by his own admission, boxers were the best punchers in the world. All of this, "Bruce Lee could beat (insert name)," hype is different media trying to create a meta for attention and profit. If Bruce had not died, none of these Bruce Lee vs The World conversations would exist because he would've denied all of it.

That comment doesn't make any sense. If racism is the reason he didn't get roles then "embracing his blackness" (whatever the hell that means) would cause Hollywood excess to push him further away. Wesley Snipes got roles. STARRING roles from the late 80s throughout the 90s. He's darker than a chocolate bar. I watched a special about him on TV One several years ago where he said that he *WAS* offered a sequel to _The Last Dragon_ but turned it down. I met this guy at C2E2 (Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo) back in 2012. When I brought this up to him he claimed that he was never offered a sequel. So either he lied to me personally, or he lied to everyone on that special. So this guy's word is sketchy at best. Tell me something. Why do we as black people expect white people to look out for us better than we look out for ourselves? It's not there responsibility to represent us and there is no prerequisite to what so-called "blackness" is. If WE owned ALL the movie studios and productions companies, how many white people would be in starring roles in films? **crickets** Keep it real dog. You know that if you had all that bread you would be casting nothing but brothers. You can't throw shade at them looking out for theirs when you know you look out for yours. We are ALL hypocrites in this.

I agree. Their was a crossover where Batman& Robin / The Green Hornet clashed. Bruce Lee's character in the Green Hornet was written to be defeated by Robin from the DC. Bruce Lee wasn't having that knowing it was unrealistic & walked off the set.

Taimak's a very smart guy, and adapted well into the Bruce Leroy character, with precise kung fu skill, I kept rewinding the "LIMO FIGHT SCENE" , I waited throughout the 80s & 90s for him to star in another action film but sadly in those days only comedians Murphy and Whoopi were working BLACKS in action movies unless you were stereotyped like the "Action Jackson" film for Carl Weathers

His father is Italian, so Taimak will never understand or be in touch with his black side. The race and ethnicity of the father usually determines the child's mannerisms, physical appearance, etc. Taimak was always lost, and I also read that part of the reason why Taimak never got anymore roles after the Last Dragon was because he was too stiff, like worse than a cop! Remember, Taimak also appeared in Janet Jackson's video "Let's wait awhile", and she said the way he acted in her video, stiff and virgin like, was the way he was in real life. I could tell from watching his role in her video and the movie The Last Dragon, that Taimak was a square when it came to dealing with women. I can halfway understand why because he dedicated his entire life to the martial arts!, plus his father is Italian/White, so of course he's a little off. Part of Martial Arts teachings and the bible is that the most solid warriors never "defiled themselves with women". It sounds gay, but the martial arts is a craft that demands exclusive devotion, and Taimak gave all of his exclusive devotion to the the martial arts. Not mad at him, but scratchin' my head at the same time. As a fellow, much less experienced martial artist myself, I do understand the culture as to why he was so stiff, but of course, I done had me some pussy, got 3 kids and drama behind it! Lmao!

I think you need to talk to Conner and jellybean. Professional boxing has more world class fighters and therefore weight class is important. Tell ya what, take any weight in any style, include boxing or whatever and put them in a ring with the heavyweight boxing champion of the world. Very quickly you, they or whoever will understand the need for weight classes. Are you too young to remember the exhibition match between Ali and the then world Karate Champion? The Karate master laid on his back with his legs up in a defensive posture the entire match. He wanted no parts of a bigger and faster Ali (and if you don't think a professional boxer's handspeed is faster than those in other martial arts, then you need to stop watching movies and ask someone.. boxers work day and night endlessly of handspeed and power.. cue Ali's "phantom punch") Your argument may be valid when dealing with scrubs because an undersized but better fighter would beat a heavier fighter with bad technique.
