Did Mike Perry say that he is 2% black?

[revoltub]

Yes. Mike Perry is 2% black and 98% black

 

[FrappeDuRocma]

Yes, he's 2% black. As dumb as it sound, his DNA test confirmed it.

 

[Bob Sapp]

Dont question his identity.

 

[Prince Nephilim]

I guess he's Black if you go by the one drop rule

[Slatersan]

He's up there with MLK Jr. for his contributions to the black community. Just google it. Maybe even bigger than Abraham Lincoln, no joke.

 

[SeattleFightFan]

Everyone is. 2% is low, actually.

Well, not "black". But African or sub-Saharan African. "Black" has no scientific meaning.

The N-word ending with a is acceptable in a lot of poor neighborhoods in America.



It's not used as a racial slur in those neighborhoods, Perry didn't use it like that at all in this situation....It's basically like saying "dude".



I don't understand why Mainstream Corporate America(ESPN) can't make this distinction.


Just saw the clip...Shannon Sharpe is full of fucking shit, he says that Perry said the N-Word ending with ER........I didn't hear that at all, he's full of shit!!!!!!!!!!!!

What fun would that be?

whatever percentage makes you stop being white, i guess.

edit: The guy he knocked out could very well have more black African DNA than him, so let's not even joke about the significance of 2%.

People keep saying this but did he actually even post this DNA test, or is it just some bullshit he said on twitter. Mike Perry does not seem like the type of person with the mental capacity to seek out a DNA test, pay money for it, give a sample, and await the results. Like, that is well beyond what I think Perry would be capable of.

Regardless, most people have a small % of african DNA. 2% literally means nothing.

 

[DOMMA]

25% minimum....50% recommended.

He should only be able to use 2 percent of the word.

Honestly. I live in NYC and all kinds of Hispanic and Middle Eastern kids say n***a, even some white kids, and they all hang out in mixed groups with black dudes included. It's not even used in any other context than "man", "dude", "yo", etc. If someone wants discuss whether that's right or wrong, sure. But here it's framed as "how should he be punished" as if it was obvious that it's wrong, when it isn't. Lol.

To call it a racial slur in that context is stupid. He even said it to Woodley like "what's good my n****" and Tyron didn't seem to give a shit. The media needs some explosive talking point to make TV interesting, and they also play it safe 100% of the time because they're too scared of backlash.
