WHitlock at times has grated me, as he can be a jerk. However this article brings me new respect for him.

[RunningWolf]

Wow this is an astute and powerful article

Sharpy and Co will just label Whitlock as an “Uncle Tom” and the DBM will ignore him.

[Jokelahoma]

This is Whitlock's "broken clock" article. You know, even a broken clock is right twice a day, etc.? He's an unmitigated, self-promoting ass, but he's dead right on this one.

I really feel sorry for the average black, given what liberalism and ‘black leadership’ has brough them. It’s a shame.

[ChristianDefender]

Soooo True...

Thanks for the article... great read!

[sageb1]

Agree, although the Malcolm part was a bit much.

“None of this over-the-top grandstanding does Black America any good.”

I think a big problem is that there IS such a thing as “black america”, instead of “America”. As long it exists in the minds of people in this country, there will always be a Sharpton or a Jackson to take advantage of it for personal gain and influence.

I’m not a big sports fan, but this article cuts right to the heart of the matter.

makes one wonder, if a Sports Reporters sees the fallacy of it, why doesn’t the lamestream media?

Guess that answers itself.

Since the author makes sense, don’t expect this to get any attention in the MSM. But I do have to wonder how much longer blacks will allow Jesse and Al to speak for them. People like this author and Bill Cosby have much more credibility.

[HarmlessLovableFuzzball]

Wow. Great article. He sounds like a Dittohead.

Just in case folks didn’t see it, he wrote this too:

And don't forget the Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson.

We need leadership that makes all of us take tremendous pride in educating ourselves

But, but, but then who would be p-ooooooo-r and who would the DEMS s-a-v-e! Gots ta keep dem coffers of por folk full, son, so as da Clintoons have y’all ta take cared of.

Had Imus’ predictably poor attempt at humor not been turned into an international incident by the deluge of media coverage, 97 percent of America would’ve never known what Imus said. His platform isn’t that large and it has zero penetration into the sports world.

Exactly right.

Several years ago I heard him refer to the NY Nicks as "carjackers in shorts" and there was nary a whine from Big Media. Oh, wait a minute, that was during the Clowntoon reign.

Now, he says something similarly offensive, and the race baiters, Leftist college faculty, and elitist whitebread media descend upon him like a swarm of killer bees.

I wonder why that is?

[Just Lori]

The problem is that there are thousands waiting to take Jackson’s and Sharpton’s place in a heartbeat. They have quite a following and the hatred is obvious. Hopefully, this is a sign of the silent black majority getting fed up.

[HarmlessLovableFuzzball]

Sharpton may be rejoicing in his conquest at the moment but there is a big backlash coming, I don’t know when but I know it is. In fact its already started.

[RunningWolf]

I don’t know anything about that guy, but that article is way beyond ‘broken clock’

Blacks didn’t choose Jesse Jackson and Al Sherpton as their “Black Leaders”. The White Liberal in the Mass Media did!

Correction: “White Liberals”
