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

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

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.

“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.

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?

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.

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

This is strong—

“A man who doesn’t respect himself wastes his breath demanding that others respect him.

We don’t respect ourselves right now. If we did, we wouldn’t call each other the N-word. If we did, we wouldn’t let people with prison values define who we are in music and videos. If we did, we wouldn’t call black women bitches and hos and abandon them when they have our babies.”

If those girls at Rutgers would like to see something good from all this, they should start shouting the above quote from the rooftops.

All Jackson and Sharpton have is the color of their skin. Their character is empty of content. They are cartoon figures parading around for their own egos, promoting racial division and hatred rather than helping individuals achieve their own potentials. They should be mocked, ridiculed and shunned.

How exactly is a guy who popularized the term “white interloper” heading a racial justice cause, prominent speaker for the Democrats, and has a radio show?

Why do black people need “leaders” to “speak” for them?

Who’s the white “leader?” What about leaders for brown, yellow and red people?

Leaders for black people is condescending and racist, inferring that black individuals are too stupid to speak or think for themselves and need “leaders” to do so.

Next time a white liberal tells me a black “leader” says this or that, I’m calling him a racist.

Whitlock has been surprising me. I didn’t used to like him much because he always ragged on my beloved Indianapolis Colts. However, ever since he wrote a very powerful article on the thug circus that surrounded the NBA All Star game in Vegas, he seems to be very focused and spot on. Preach on, Brother Jason!
