The cause is a big issue. I guess it just seemed to me that Whitlock is still relying on the blame someone else tactics.

I think if you evaluate the total of his writing, and what he’s said in the past, you’d see it otherwise.
I’ll agree, that statement could be construed that way. But context is everything. Look at what Whitlock says over and over again: The black culture is being poisoned with the hip hop/jail elements. It’s time for blacks to stand up, acknowledge they are in control of their own problems, and fix them.
Not quite the standard victim fare that Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Spike Lee, etc, are pushing.
To be fair, Whitlock walked out of radio shows he had on 2 sports stations here in KC, and seemed to be marginalized by ESPN. This does have a way to keep his name up there.
What is truly amazing is that the KC Red Star printed this. One of their editoral board, Lewis Diugud, whines about race in every column he writes. He’ll probably blast Whitlock and call him an Uncle Tom after this column.
