Shortly after his birth, his parents moved to Crown Heights, Brooklyn, New York. A few years later, they relocated and settled in the working-class area of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn.<br /><br />Rock was bused to schools in predominately white neighborhoods of Brooklyn where he endured bullying and beatings from white students. As he got older, the bullying became worse and Rock's parents pulled him out of James Madison High School."<br /><br />First of all, Ironic that the school name was his now opponent. Secondly, and more importantly, it must have been hard for Rock growing up in Confederate South, and then Brooklyn during the 60's and Early 70's. I would assume the same would be true for Gilliam - no matter where he may have grown up. I bet there was some pent-up aggression somewhere inside Gilliam's past to reward Madison with a BK Beat down! Hell, I was bullied a lot when I was a kid, and if I were in a fight right now, I bet I would conger up some of those memories to help kick some ass. <br />So I think Gilliam has the edge. Youth aside, I think deep down Gilliam has a sub conscience score to settle with this valiant, yet slave-owning forefather.Timbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04033913025463608770noreply@blogger.com
