Rampage Can Talk White, But Is He Right?

Posted Nov 28th 2007 4:00PM by TMZ Staff

UFC brawler Quinton "Rampage" Jackson has never been afraid to go on the attack. And when the king of the octagon learned that NFL star Sean Taylor died from a gunshot to the leg on the Monday, Rampage went off.


"Shot in the leg and died," he asked our cameraman. "Where the hell was the ambulance? Flavor Flav was real when he said 911 was a joke."

Then, just like a pre-skankified Flav would have done, Rampage got racial. "Black folks, when you get in trouble [and you] call 911, please sound white when you call ... We all sound white when we need to."

Tough words from a tough man.

4. Please, Seriously. The race card... again?? That is so old now. It hit an artery you idiot. That means serious blood loss. If it did not hit so close to his groins he probably would be just fine maybe some crutches. This situation sucks but dont you dar blame it on the ambulance. They did what they could I am sure of it. Every time something happens to a non white person they want to pull that damn card. Well get over it. You are the prejiduce people and the ones with the problems. Believe me I know there are bad ppl out there but not all of us are.

5. Unbelievable! Now we are blaming RACE for someone dying after being shot????? Give me a break. Frankly, if you want to blame someone or something for Mr. Taylor's death, lets look at this... Based on what I've read, I have to say it appears that Mr. Taylor was personally targeted for this attack more than once. He has been involved with weapons and assaults and other crimes... so therefore, I think its pretty obvious that this incident probably occurred because of Mr. Taylor's own lifestyle. No disrespect to the dead.. but come on.

So don't blame the fact he was BLACK and 911 wouldnt respond. Maybe if he wasn't a criminal, this wouldn't have happened to him. Racist jerkoff

6. this fool couldn't sound white, no matter how hard he tried. quit shooting your own race, and that problem will handle it'self.

7. Ashley, It was the black dude who started the race issue. They are always blameing white "trash" when something goes wrong.

8. #5 Ashley- you are 100% correct. This guy bled out really fast because of the location of the bullet. It's NOT the ambulances fault.

9. If it hits that artery- you only have a couple minutes. Thoughts and prayers with him and his family.

10. STOP THE RACE CARD CRAP. Take responsibility for your own actions and quit blaming everyone (the "white man") for your own problems.

11. This is the kind of thing that really makes me sick...if he had done a little checking first, he would have learned that the bullet hit an artery - and as most people know (black or white - dumbass), you can bleed out in a matter of minutes if a major artery has been hit. And I'm sure that it wasn't Sean Taylor who called 911 - how does this ass-clown know who called 911? How does he know that the "burglar" didn't cut the phone line before leaving the scene?

This is truly sad. My heart goes out to Sean Taylor's family, and I hope that stupid comments like this idiot is making don't hinder their recovery from such a tragedy.

12. yoman, NEWS FLASH, White folk with tatoos are treated the same way.

13. Come on people, its 2007, can you really even PLAY THE RACE CARD ANYMORE?!

If anyone does, frickin Rev. Al Sharpton comes down on his high horse, we all know that!

In fact, I'm surprised he hasnt come out with a statement about this tragic death!!

14. MAYBE just stop sounding like someone who never heard another person speak correct English. White kids these days speak poorly too, but why is it that such a huge amount of blacks feel that it's okay or cool to speak so poorly. English is taugt in every school in this country. If you want to thumb your nose at it and speak some uneducated rapper's version of it, then the only person you're harming is yourself. 'Dis shi jus don go down in da real worl..ya know wha um sayin???'

15. What a stupid, ignorant, idiot Rampage is---that is the perfect name for him. What a joke he is. Some blacks make everything about race----they disgrace their own race when they do. Not every ambulance can save everyone---by the way idiot, his girlfriend is white, and she is the one who called 911---how stupid can you be? And if Rampage finds out the shooter is black, is he going to blame that on the white population also? A lot of whites don't make it after being shot, idiot.
