In what’s shaping up to be a real shit show, George Zimmerman and DMX will go toe-to-toe in the boxing ring on March 1. Yes, you read that correctly. A child killer will go up against a crackhead rapper in a bout many are erroneously assuming will bring slain teen Trayvon Martin justice.
When news of this “celebrity” boxing match was released last week, we all couldn’t help but wonder who would go against Zimmerman. I even daydreamed about Floyd Mayweather Jr. rocking Zimmerman’s jaw like he did to Canelo Alvarez. But punk-ass Zimmerman, who has reportedly been studying boxing, had his own ideas on who should step into the ring with him. Rapper The Game quickly accepted the challenge, but of course Zimmerman turned the muscle man down. Then, we learned that Zimmerman actually wanted to fight Kanye West because the rapper has a history of attacking defenseless people. (You caught that irony, right?) Man, Kanye would’ve whipped that ass like he did that teen.
But now, we have to settle for DMX. I say “settle” because X isn’t fit to drive much less fight. Does he even have a valid driver’s license in any state at this very moment? There’s a reason Zimmerman is willing to box DMX. It’s because he thinks he can win, and sadly, so do I. In fact, if I were a betting woman — and a race traitor — my money would be on Zimmerman. But who knows? Maybe DMX will summon the infamous crackhead strength and beat the shit, literally, out of Zimmerman. That’s basically what the rapper has promised TMZ:
“I am going to beat the living fuck out him. I am breaking every rule in boxing to make sure I fuck him right up. Once I am done with him, I am going to whip my dick out and piss on him, right in his motherfucking face.”
But in all seriousness, this Pay-Per-View boxing match won’t bring justice to Trayvon Martin, his parents Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, or the people whose hearts collectively broke when Zimmerman was acquitted of murder. It’s just going to put some serious dough in promoter Damon Feldman’s pockets and allow Zimmerman to support an unnamed charity — one whose mission is most likely as scary as the implementation of “Stand Your Ground” laws.
I’m not the only one who thinks this brawl isn’t a good idea. There’s a We The People petition calling for the Obama Administration to stop the boxing match, citing Feldman and Zimmerman’s attempt to allegedly profit from racial hate in America. More than 97,000 people have signed the petition. If it gets 100,000 signatures, the White House will have to respond.
So this begs the question, will I watch? Yes, but I’m hoping to find an illegal stream of the fight, so none of my coins end up in Zimmerman’s hands.
