He overcame adversity you likely wouldn’t even acknowledge exists.
Did he create a lot of his own self inflicted adversity? Definitely. So has EVERY other past champ that got into the party scene. Yet somehow their mental strength is never questioned.
Ok, let’s not go with “truth bomb”...too played out.
Ummmmmm, let’s see...
Ha!
Got it!
“Uh, oh! Better run! It’s a TRUTH GRENADE!”

the idea of a block pass is so they literally have no where to go. how long have you been watching this sport?
you've taken participation ribbon to a whole new fuckin level of pussified madness. ITS A FUCKIN BLOCK PASSS!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?

In regards to the pass: There's nothing wrong with going in there and blocking someone's line or getting up the inside of someone and taking them wide. Rubbing is racing and all that etc. Hence why I liked the Barcia pass on Tomac, I thought it was quick and assertive. But I raise an eyebrow (that's all!) at cutting across a turn completely (almost to the point where you can barely make the turn yourself) to meeting the rider on exit when he's already committed and accelerating out of the berm. That's the difference.
ask why no other champs get their mental strength questioned.
Why bring racism into it? This has nothing to do with racism. Even you have to acknowledge that James himself
said winning is/was not good enough he wanted to (I forget the term he used) demolish the field. That is not a strong
mental game if you're riding for a championship. You go fast enough to win without taking unnecessary risks.
Has nothing to do with being strong mentally in life. Quite frankly life lessons have little to do with winning a SX race.
While the Stewart family overcame many set backs, those setbacks did not give James the raw talent he had.
Black, white, brown, none of those things help you win. Even you have to admit that James was expected to decimate the record books. He didn't because he crashed, a lot. He didn't crash because of his skin color.
Do you remember the interview where RC said his favorite thing was to follow James and rattle him. That James hated it so much, James literally pulled over to a stop for RC to pass him and RC stopped also until James got going again.
I don't think you'll find anybody that disagrees James overcame hardship but this is not the place to bring up racism.
