Wow, I was totally unaware that that stuff was going on there, and I listen to the show from time to time.

If they really are making racist statements like that, someone should talk to them so that it doesn't happen again.

Why do you say it hits home Greg?

Typical whining babies out there crying over "racism'. As usual. Racism is the new "communism" - all you have to do is accuse someone and they are supposed to go run off and hide, or beg for your forgiveness. The word has lost all meaning since it is thrown around so often, typically to intimidate and shut down other's free speech. It's pathetic.

Besides, Palumbo and Romano don't act racist on the show in the first place. If a guest comes on and says his mind, so what if it offends you - you don't have a god-given right to go through life and not be offended. I get offended every day by **** and no one comes crying to my rescue.

I briefly skimmed the article, but I think people are just being overly sensitive. I mean, if they were truly being racist towards Puerto Ricans and Latinos and specifically citing Victor and Gustavo, why the hell would they have their own section in MD?

Black latin ancestry didn't stop sergio from winning lots of titles in a supremely racist era.

Why the hell do people like Rush Limbaugh have their own radio show?

Just saying........

I think they are being way to sensitive and just picking the show apart. I mean they cant really be responsible for what a guests says. And in regards to John Ramano being racist against Puerto Rican women, I mean why would he date them is he felt racism towards them?

DiamondDelts · 02-20-2008, 10:34 PM

Well in all honesty everyone knows that if you are a racist then blacks are the gold standard. Why would they be racist against a latin guy but give the title to a black guy?

Of course. It wouldn't be racist america if he did not. But what I am saying is that he was allowed to at least climb the pinaccle of this sport

at one time.

That's how good Sergio was, for a while there they couldn't stop him.

You sure those stats are raw DD?

Duckenheimer · 02-21-2008, 08:23 AM

"We believe, that apart from the program having ties to folks esposing racist values of varying degrees, the program seems to be extensively critical and often dismissive of bodybuilding's greatest star since Sergio Oliva, Gustavo Badell. The show hosts, like many idiots on the Bodybuilding.com boards, fail to recognize that Victor Martinez & Silvio Samuel are both Latino, YEAH RIGHT. but with Gustavo the animosity is undeniable. Gustavo, a past 2x Top 3 Olympian, past Iron Man Champion, and quite possibly the owner of the best triceps in the business, gets downgraded and underrated, almost incessantly, by NPC star Dave Palumbo."

What stupid, baseless, bull****.

Majors · 02-21-2008, 09:52 AM

gustavo is not even in the same league Sergio.

TheNaturalTank · 02-21-2008, 10:00 AM

It sounds like they're looking for a reason to bitch.

Dave Palumbo helps guys nail their contest prep and I haven't heard one bad thing about him in that aspect. That doesn't mean I agree with racism, but I highly doubt the guy is a racist since he works with people of all races in the bodybuilding industry. Bottom line is the guy knows his ****.

John Romano doesn't seem to bright though...

SpanishLEGS · 02-21-2008, 02:21 PM

"The show hosts, like many idiots on the Bodybuilding.com boards, fail to recognize that Victor Martinez & Silvio Samuel are both Latino"

Silvio is as latino as dennis wolf...

Thank you! Repped!

bigcalves · 02-21-2008, 03:01 PM

Gustavo should shut the **** up. he will never win something so the closest he can do is come second or third (at best) and then bitch about it. shut the **** up and spend more time in the gym and you might get a shot you dumb ****

DiamondDelts · 02-21-2008, 03:05 PM

What people fail to realize is that latin is a culture in itself. Not a particular race. There are black latins just like there are caucasion latins.

D Train · 02-21-2008, 03:42 PM

This is all great guys. How about you shut up, quit whining, and go train or eat a meal. This kind of stuff is a waste of time. Who cares what Valentino thinks. If you think it's racist, then don't listen to it. Spend your time doing something else, LIKE GOING TO THE GYM! This sport I'm noticing has far more people that talk rather than do. So keep hiding behind your computer and talking politics. That just gives me more time to get bigger and better so I can wipe the stage clean when you take me on at the next show.

DiamondDelts · 02-21-2008, 03:45 PM

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^??????????????????????????????????? ?????????????
