Rampage Jackson Says Talk White To Get 911 Help – Video

Posted By: Bruno Published in Fighter Talk

Nov

The other day Rampage Jackson was asked what he thought about NFL star Sean Taylor being shot and killed. At first he didn’t know anything about it but when the man told Jackson that he died after being shot in the leg Rampage went on a role.

“Shot in the leg and died,” he asked the cameraman. “Where the hell was the ambulance? Flavor Flav was real when he said 911 was a joke.” Rampage then got a bit racial by saying “Black folks, when you get in trouble [and you] call 911, please sound white when you call.”

It seemed that he was implying that only white people can get help from 911. That’s what it sounded like to me. What do the Rampage followers out there think? Please let us know. Thanks.

nothig sounds like racial to me. there is still racism in this country and probably always will. where ramapage is from isnt the safetest place to live in so he knows what he’s talking about from his experience. and you cant judge him from saying that because obviously he doesnt have any knowldege about this incident so he assummed the football player got disadvantage for being black

* i just searched it on wikipedia.org. the reason why he died was loss of too much blood and somehow house phone didnt work so his wife had to call 911 on her cell phone which delayed response time

nothing racist about someone saying whats going on these days.. it might not of been the case for the nfl guy….. but take it from any black brother, the cops treat em like shit, racism will always be there, so ppl shouldnt wonder why we hate police, like malcom x said, no justice, no freedom.

It’s only white people who would find this remotely offensive. Rampage is telling it like it is. This world is ruled by rich white men. That’s a fact! There is nothing racist about what he’s saying. He’s not against white people, he’s against the poor treatment of black people. Big difference!

smack Says, in 11-29-2007 at 01:21:12 from 59.101.104.20

i think they should have programs in our country (USA) that take rich white kids to black hoods and black kids to white hoods and see how each other lives like they stay there for a 6 week period and do everything the kid from the opposite family did.we can call it kids swap, thats the only way white people are gonna wake up to all this stuff

but really i dont think they want to wake up….

Daaaamn you dumb, Hunworj. Brother Malcolm (two ‘l’s, mah unedumacated bruh-thah), said, “No justice, no peace.” And that is a righteous statement, mah bruh-thah. ‘Coz why you gon’take all that trouble, build up your own community, work hard and take responsibility for your own destiny, when blamin’ My-T Why-T is so much easier, and gives you the chance to loot and riot once every couple years. Hollah!

Erik Says, in 11-29-2007 at 01:52:49 from 128.208.116.156

Please! Anyone who actually believes today that medics are somehow racist and are actually looking for black people to die is a complete joke. Without any evidence famous black people such as Kanye West and now Quinton Jackson can spew any crap they want into the media and not get called on it. This is disgusting and it defies reason that anyone would actually believe this crap.

dudewithface Says, in 11-29-2007 at 02:29:42 from 68.145.84.45

lol i think i read earnee response like 5 times and didnt get anything out of it

josh Says, in 11-29-2007 at 06:10:57 from 207.68.227.106

I’m so sick of hearing about racism.You know, not every white kid is rich and powerful.I thought black people were so tough. Why all the cry baby whining? Wah Wah racism wah. We’ve got it so bad. Yeah right!Know how many times I’ve been shot at? None because I’m not out tryin to play gangster. I work hard all week to support my family and nobody bothers me and blacks have an equal opportunity if not more of one than poor or middle class whites do.You never hear of blacks thankin doctors or 911 when they save their life but when one dies you scream racism. Grow up and deal with life.The guy was filthy rich and didnt even have a security system. Smart huh.You wanna live the lifestyle of a G? Don’t whine when you suffer the consequences.You wanna live life the right way, get a job get off welfare and move outta the hood. I didnt get where I’m out cause im white. I got here from hard work sacrifice and being humble.I’m too proud to take a hand out and whine about how bad I”ve got it. But I guess it’s easier to whine racism and take handouts and blame the white man for everything bad than to blame the real problem……Yourself. Somebody Call the WAMBULANCE!!!!!!!

Insain Says, in 11-29-2007 at 07:47:01 from 90.197.30.89

sound dood, but i agree he made a prick of himself here. Simply a racist dig – not extremist – but racial non the less

chopstickthugz Says, in 11-29-2007 at 09:22:50 from 69.226.184.118

listen erik, i honestly dont think it’s medics fault but i do believe it perhaps it’s cops who take WAY more time to get there probably because of danger of ghetto or they dont give a fuck as much as suburbs.

*once again rampage never said anything OFFENSIVE against white people in this vid.

Filo Says, in 11-29-2007 at 13:37:00 from 71.227.12.235

I’m going to the “hood” today…anyone have the book on how to speak “gangsta”

Rivers Says, in 11-29-2007 at 15:06:45 from 64.170.138.150

There are other things to learn from this tragedy…get an alarm system or at least a fucking dog, then get your self a good 12ga shotgun and/or other multitude of home-defense “tools” and doble-tap any fucker that dares to brake into your house…but the most important lesson is…never bring a knife to gunfight (like this guys did!)

I did not take Rampage comments offensives, more like a humor thing…

Niv Says, in 11-29-2007 at 20:18:08 from 64.180.28.211

Sorry guys but as a Rampage fan I think he loses some credibility here. How is it that black people like to blame everything on race, and then turn around and pretend to be colour blind.

That’s bullshit, nobody out there as a first responder is going to say “Oh he’s black let him die”, freaking nonsense, and comments like his only add fuel to these fires.

It’s a tragedy this guy died, judging by his income I think he’d be living in a rich white neighborhood so that blows up some arguments here.

This kind of race crap needs to get buried, if a white athlete ever made a comment like that he’d be crucified by the media, how’s that for a double standard?

LES Says, in 11-29-2007 at 22:35:51 from 99.243.78.113

you must be either deaf, blind, dumb or all 3 if you think racism doesn’t exist today. rampage didn’t say anything racist towards white people at all. just voicing his displease of how blacks are mistreated, that’s all. and just to make it clear, even whites can experience racism, just not in this case.

Austin Says, in 12-1-2007 at 00:50:30 from 24.225.245.36

I think perception is just as valid as the reality. It doesn’t matter if what he says is actually true, what matters is that he and others think it is true. The black people in the USA face racism everyday, but i think “times are a changing”.

I think the truth may be that those who handle 911 calls are not well trained and are given a list of what is high priority based on the nature of the call.

Bottom line, I think it is the way 911 is managed BUT perception is real to those who perceive it.

niv Says, in 12-1-2007 at 02:06:58 from 75.155.166.62

Where is the racism that the deceased faced? He’s dead for who knows what reason, I am neither deaf dumb or blind, but I do think that racism is fuelled by those who keep it alive by saying things like Rampage said.

Please don’t tell me there’s no racism in saying “Make sure you sound white”. Get real, that’s racist period.

Ducken Says, in 12-1-2007 at 04:40:15 from 72.222.226.80

Ok, So other then the fact that Phoenix FD and PD is more then 50% African American/Hispanic means you have to call up and act white. Moronic statement.

Take it from a “First Responder” with Phoenix FD. I am black, and we have never, after 31 years of working with law enforcement and/or medical staff. Did we EVER go….hmm he/she is Black, Hispanic, Asian, WHITE, “putting in my race card here” female, male…what have you and go…. Well the suns are on, lets wait.

Or take it one step back from that. Dispatch is the one who takes the call right? It’s not the medical staff/EMS it’s the the people at 911. Well they have a timer that HAS TO BE MET, or red flags go off all over there office. Time call comes in to response time. Trust me, the system does not ask you this question. “Is this person Black?” If so there will be a 15 min wait time while we send EMS to get Taco Bell to get the office for lunch.

Fight all you want.

If you are “insert race here” and are not “insert your race here” you can’t do “what ever you cant find the SELF motivation for here” so you end up blaming “i bet you know what goes here right.

Example:

If you are “Dumb” and are not “self motivated” you can’t do “anything that requires effert” so you end up blaming “Circumstances for what you think is right” Racially that is.

pool party Says, in 12-1-2007 at 15:58:45 from 76.170.213.240

i doubt this nfl player lived in a shitty area. it was an unfortunate unlucky series of events.

Dude Says, in 12-1-2007 at 22:32:49 from 70.242.127.178

The bullet hit an artery. That’s why he died. Very tragic. Rampage is racist. Act Black. Only act Black; like africa black in the city; where black people talk normally and have jobs and aren’t the number one killers of each other. The truth is, black men don’t have to be afraid of the police; they need to be afraid of other black men -cuz that’s who kills the most black men in the USA. Yesterday is farther away than 10,000 years in the future; so quit whining; get an education; and be something/someone whom society needs. In the history of the world, there has Never been a place or time where any person had more opportunity than the USA today. If you cannot do it here/now – you would have failed anywhere/anytime. Buck Up, whiny-arses.

Yellow-Man Says, in 12-2-2007 at 23:23:11 from 68.100.13.19

Right on “DUDE”. I’ve just lost all respect for Rampage! Here we go with another racist comments against only the blacks again. Give it a break. I totally disagree here. I mean, why are all the cops & ambulances always hanging around the black neighborhoods, why aren’t they guarding the rest of neighborhoods. Don’t the rest of us deserve some protections too? I’ve lived with blacks for a whole year. And they are by far the racist people in this world. And Rampage finally reveiled his true self here.

help Says, in 12-4-2007 at 22:52:06 from 66.190.101.35

white people boycott racist rampage when he fights on pay per view for making these statements

Luis Says, in 12-5-2007 at 07:05:49 from 74.186.54.190

Sean Taylor lived in a million dollar neighborhood. He lived in a one million dollar house on a rich block. In a poor neighborhood, I might believe it takes 911 longer to respond but that’s not the case here.

I think the Paramedics and the EMT’s do a fine job; they do the best they can. On a sad note it’s built into blacks that the system is against them. It’s a little of both. The system is on some cases against them but you gotta work hard to make it in this world. There is every opportunity for a black man to make it. For anybody to make it. There is much less racism in 2007, than in 1940, you have to be an idiot to believe otherwise.

On a fighting note, Rampage Jackson is a true champion. he has worked hard to get to were he is today and as a fighter and champ, he has my respect. My hat’s off to him.

Luis Says, in 12-5-2007 at 07:09:43 from 74.186.54.190

Let me also add that it was 4 black men that killed Sean Taylor.

Guy Says, in 12-9-2007 at 13:42:28 from 70.124.83.76

Blame…….keep blaming. Everyone else walks forward, and you point and blame as you stay behind. Dave Chappell and Bill Cosby were right, stop blaming other races and understand that life is hard on everyone.

john Says, in 1-2-2008 at 16:13:37 from 91.106.32.243

what a dick, ” we all know how to talk white when we need to”. i agree with that guy who calls himself dude, black people in todays society have such a chip on their shoulder!

shadow Says, in 1-6-2008 at 15:17:05 from 99.228.46.54

didn’t you all get the memo? cops are losing interest in racism because they’re too busy electrocuting the public (all races) with tazers.

seriously though, the only thing rampage did wrong here was comment on a story that he did not have all the facts of. we’re all guilty of that at some point.
