Look fuck face, his build is great and he holds his head higher than most of us would have. It isn’t ass kissing, so much as disbelief. What’s the matter, you weren’t coddled enough? Or are you jealous people don’t have great things to say about you?

I thought the samething that you, kj and Prof x were saying. But when i thought about it more I realized hey when i first started working out, I didn’t do it to appear in any magazine I did it for my well being. Anything else is a bonus.

I admire your calm demeanor about that situation. I think I would have taken it way more personal. Mad props to you.

Imagine that, complimenting a person on their physique on a BODYBUILDING website.

This seems plausible. I don’t know who Lou Schuler who is but I can’t imagine that he’s such a raging racist that he would flat out reject Mad Titan for being “too black”…“too big” however is right down the alley of these magazines…

But makes little sense. Why would he pick “skin tone” as the substitute reason. Common sense ought to tell him how that sounds.

Suffice to say that the opinions of a bunch of internet personalities such as yourself aren’t going to pay my bills or write my papers so compliments wouldn’t mean much.

This guy already was complimented on his physique months back when he first posted. It looks like he worked hard for it. However the fact that him not getting on the cover of some dumbass fitness magazine brought about downright outrage from the peanut gallery is amuzing to me. Hell you were ready to call the NAACP until he mentioned that a black guy, albeit a lighter one,actually did get the cover.

I don’t know whether the guy in charge of the magazine is racist or incompetent, or whatever. I do know one thing: the reason he gave is bogus. I tend to think that a lot of claims about racism are overblown, and I’m not going to leap to the conclusion that this guy is a racist. I do think, however, that he needs some lessons from his PR department, and perhaps some job-training if he really thinks it’s so difficult to photograph dark-skinned people.

Ready to call the NAACP? You don’t know me well at all. I TALKED about the issue because I felt it was a topic worthy of it. I can assure you I lost no sleep last night over whether he got on a mag cover or not. What I am pointing out to you, and to others who seem to take so much issue if anyone gets a damn compliment, is that if it truly mattered so little to you, you would not have responded at all. Apparently, anytime someone gets a compliment, there are quite a few who take offense.

I will take an issue with the many who seem to follow every word of writers here with seemingly no independant thought as they change entire routines simply because a new article came out this week. That does bother me, not because some author got a compliment, but that so many seem to be unable to figure out some of this shit on their own at all.

The bottom line is, this is a bodybuilding forum. People are going to get compliments and you complaining about the simple fact that they do just sounds like jealousy unless you have a reason to be against it that goes deeper than the compliment itself. You don’t seem to have that reason. You simply seem to be mad at someone getting a compliment. That leads us to, why the fuck would that bother you if you are doing everything you need to be doing in your own life?

Let me just say like Newton, I enjoy sitting back and sticking sharp things in my eyes just to see the response…where in my case the “sharp things” are my comments and the response is the group dynamics. I don’t always enjoy this little experiment, as you will note some of my posts are serious, however at times when my own research is not going well playing around in such a manner relaxes me to a certain extent. So by engaging in the pack mentality type group dynamics as you have you are in a way helping me with my own, non-related, research. So thank you.

If you really had no comment, you wouldn’t have posted so why don’t you just say what’s on your mind? It’s not like you usually have a problem with stating what’s on your mind.

He’s saying that they didn’t take the guy because he’s BLACK, even though he has an unusually well-developed physique. “Skin-tone” is code for “of African descent.” That was the no-comment comment.

But somehow I think you understood that…[/quote]

I just assumed he didnt look “metro” enough.

I’ve seen this explanation (the social scientist theory) before from teenagers who couldn’t hold their tongue in their mouths because they simply wanted some attention to what they think is their “big brains”. Give me a break.

Mad Titan, you are simply too good for them. Way too much class.

You couldn’t vote for PJA, if he were in power, he’d bring back Jim Crow. (Maybe Zeb would be his VP)
