Ron Artest Is Stupid and Funny

Thus spoke Ronathustra:

"I understand what Yao said, but I'm still ghetto...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...If you go back to the brawl, that's a culture issue right there...Somebody was disrespecting me, so he's got to understand where I'm coming from. People that know me know that Ron Artest never changed."

[Serious] So obviously, to elevate and equate punching a fan with representing some kind of monolithic black culture is insane, and the notion of having "never changed" smacks of self-defeatism on some level. [/Serious]

[Goofy] I love Ron Artest. He is hilarious. [/Goofy]
