I remember that. In the following FLEX, a lot of black subscribers wrote in and called him an “Uncle Tom”

Well...
Let's say, two out the three bodybuilders that consider him a mentor at considered great-Vince Taylor and Shanw Ray. Melvin Anthony, which he mentioned, went off the rails. Melvin needed a real father figure, not a gimmick like break dancing, blonde hair, and blue eye contacts (like his mother).

True.

Also... there is a chance that John Brown didn’t even write that article. We all know that Flex used ghost writers. For all I know, a white guy like Peter Mcgough wrote that article.

This reads like its an "insider piece" from Uncle Joe. Im sure John didn't write it but he was fine with using his name.

This article is Wieder training principal #45: proper grooming of minority champions

Melvin is a real dumb ass! Doing time with nothing to show for and  2nd or 3rd wife leaving him, him and groink should get together and talk about how great the old days were esp the 80’s

Kevin says it’s his nephew and he was clocked at 4.48 in the 40, impressive

You can see the resemblance face wise

How did Kevin end up 5’9 and his family and members 6’2 plus  ;D

A 6 foot Kevin with the proportions he has in his prime would be hard to beat from anyone

A 6'2 Levrone with the same proportions would have won all contests.

I remember reading that article and thinking "What the hell is he talking about? Why is Flex printing this condescending shit?".

He was talking as though Black bodybuilders were teenagers and not adults.

Never cared about his politics. Never will. Don't care who wrote that article.

John Brown had one of the coolest physiques of all time. Not the biggest, not the hardest, not the best proportions... just cool.

They say it's Cane Protein.  Brown is lame as the phuck.  The packaging is cornball.

Little known fact. His son got drafted yesterday. Hell of a wide receiver.

Injury prone and horrible Jr year stats. He should have stayed for his Sr season.    

Just like how Shawn is right now with his daughter  :D

Good dancer but I still don't see the acting and singing chops but still young. Asia vs Tracy Spencer vocals @ 12-13 yrs old?

Great! John Brown can finally lived vicariously through his son.

Well, he did find a woman with supreme genetics.  ::)  I always thought they were a product of extreme repetition like the Williams Sisters, Woods and Ball Kids but I could be wrong. Maybe Langer and her German sisters are Demigods

Ive worked as a writer for weider. Its true ghost writing happens every know and then. But its very minor shit. Some guy dont care to talk about his training so much so they ask you to write something together. The John Brown article is so stupid he must have done it himself.
