Here's some singles he released without the Funky Bunch in the later 1990s not on an album or were on a soundtrack

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Sorry, how can it be both "well documented" and "whitewashed away"? That doesn't make sense. In fact, Wahlberg has been very open about his past, describing his violent attack in several televised interviews, and has consistently expressing his remorse. He's also spent a great deal of time and money community-building in his native Dorchester, Mass.

Several of his movies are good.

Exactly, he is not Jewish, but Swedish Irish mix and a well known racist. One of his roles he played a skinhead who stomped on a negro's head killing him.


It sounds like you're confusing Wahlberg with Edward Norton.

his fuckery was well documented by the legal system, but whitewashed by the mainstream media, who almost never mention his hate crimes...if he were black, the media would rehash "his troubled past" forever...

I don't think it was whitewashed by the mainstream media. I myself became aware of it from Wahlberg describing it himself on mainstream media televised interviews (more than one). For example, his interview on Inside the Actor's Studio, where he goes into it in detail. Wahlberg describes in detail the man he attacked, the man's ethnicity, and his own remorse, etc.

I also recall the very first time I read about him, which was in the UK's Q magazine, in 1992 (back in the 'Marky Mark' -- ugh! -- era). I don't think the details of his crimes were included, but it was already talking about his time in juvenile detention and so on (presumably this would be seen as a way to enhance his 'street cred' with 14-year-old wiggers).

You described it as "hate crimes" (plural), but I'm not aware of any. I believe he was high on stimulants when he decided he wanted to steal some beer. The man attacked wasn't specifically the victim of a "hate crime", just a crime.

there was more than one incident...he assaulted black kids with rocks while calling them niggers...he also attacked an asian with a beatdown and ethnic slurs...there is no defending, excusing, forgiving, or rationalizing that behavior

Just because somebody did something in the past, doesn't mean they're still the same now.

violent acts committed by Arabs or Hispanics or Blacks against whites = "terrorism", "hate crimes", "gang activity", etc..


violent crimes committed by whites against brown peoples = "misunderstanding", "accident", "self-defense", etc..

Well I'm a Christian, and I believe in forgiveness. My hero is Mr. Fred Rogers and he would say to forgive people too.

You may be right -- I've no reason to doubt you -- but do you have any sources that confirm this specific behavior?

In either case, I agree such actions are beyond defense. But I disagree that there is no forgiving. My own cultural background (read: religion) says there is.

This is a tough one because Wahlberg is a superstar celebrity. If he was just a nobody and had expressed regret for his actions over the years, I suspect he would be pardoned with little fuss. The two incidents (I refer to the two in the Washington Post article) occurred when he was a minor, and decades have passed since. But because he's a celebrity, charges of 'white priviledge' and 'celebrity priviledge' will be thrown around.

I think the crux of the matter, when looking at juvenile crimes, is the adult expression of remorse and actions that show attempts at reparations. To my knowledge, Wahlberg has both on his record. Just my opinion.

Certainly no defending or excusing ... but not forgiving? We've all done stupid things as kids/teens, not all to this degree, but stupid nonetheless. He's done a lot of good things for good causes over the years and has expressed regret. If you can't forgive and move on, that's a harsh line to take.

I used to love Good Vibrations - especially the piano playing! smile And the singer screaming as well! She's really dead?? That's shocking! RIP.


Does anyone know the recent act Sigala? Don't you think they're EXACTLY the same thing??!!
