Controversial black sports columnist Jason Whitlock compared black conservative scholar Thomas Sowell to a house slave in a series of tweets on Wednesday.

When asked what columnist he felt was closely related to Samuel L. Jackson’s character in the “Django Unchained” movie, Whitlock tweeted, “Thomas Sowell":

And I would have to say that this was a PREMEDITATED statement. A sports guy just happens to be asked which COLUMNIST?

What Jason Whitlock doesn't grasp is that he IS the House Negro for ESPN!

What Jason, you really think they hired you for your intellect?

“Basic Economics” wasn’t too hard of a read, for sure.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

I’ve read mercifully little of Whitlock, but I’ve read enough of Sowell’s works to know that in a battle of wits between them, Whitlock is bringing a spork to a gunfight.

BULL5h17!!!!!

Look up Denmark Vessy, and see who more resembles or emulates a house slave. Those who speak truth and adores liberty (Thomas Sowell among them), or those who sell out just to get along with their comfortable existence (those who voted for modern slavery in unconstitutional social handouts in the form of American socialism).

“...We went into slavery a piece of property; we came out American citizens. We went into slavery pagans; we came out Christians. We went into slavery without a language; we came out speaking the proud Anglo-Saxon tongue. We went into slavery with slave chains clanking about our wrists; we came out with the American ballot in our hands.”
Booker T. Washington, Address to Hamilton Club, Chicago, 1895

enough time wasted on a sports news reader

Thanks for the ping, rqsr. I debated pinging the list but as you I believe it’s worthy, check my post #10.

Jason, in the immortal words of Larry Holmes ... you are not worthy to carry the jockstrap of Dr. Sowell.

Whitlock also compared the National Rife Assocation (NRA) to the KKK when he said:

"I believe the NRA is the new KKK. And that the arming of so many black youths, uh, and loading up our community with drugs, and then just having an open shooting gallery, is the work of people who obviously don’t have our best interests [at heart]."

WoW! Talk about an entire society taking ZERO responsibility for their actions.......

This guy is out of his league, as are most sports announcers. He belongs in a minstrel show.

[Still Thinking]

Hmmmm. Well, Still Thinking compares Jason Whitlock to a mouth-breathing soul-less moron who has sex with turtles (at least the ones that don’t find him too ugly).

[skinkinthegrass]

thanks, for the ping. :-)

[Brownie63]

Racist comment. Let’s call it what it is.

[skinkinthegrass]

"Care to compare IQ’s, Jason?"
*snickering*
a sports punk against a respected / intelligent writer

[17th Miss Regt]

Maybe next he’ll pick up one of Dr. Sowell’s books and be converted.

He'd have to read it and I doubt he can understand the contents.

[xrmusn]

Well, all I can say is I know of and respect Dr Sowell and agree with his ideals.
I know nothing of Whitlock - is he the one that made some idiotic statement about a football player?

Despite the name Jason, I would presume this gentleman is Black — which, believe me, makes no difference what he is, he apparently speaks from whence the excrement passes?
Only because a White Liberal of the ilk of Robert Byrd (DD-WV) can get away with that kind of talk.

Just pretend Jimmy the Greek or Howard Cosell or gasp Rush Limbaugh would have made such an utterance....

Thomas Sowell grew up in segregated North Carolina and was raised by his widowed mother.

He moved with his aunt to Harlem and attended New York's prestigious and exclusive Stuyvesant High School

He left school to join the Marine Corps (pronounced "Core") and attended Howard University on the GI Bill.

He transferred to Harvard University in 1956, before there was any such thing as preference policies.

He got a masters from Columbia and a doctorate from the University of Chicago.

He was the protege of Nobel Laureate (in Economics, not in "Peace") George Stigler.

He's been an accomplished author, economics professor and journalist for over 40 years.

Whitlock was a football washout at Ball State who is known mostly for his combative and poorly researched columns for also-ran outlets.

I go to Foxsports to read some of Morosi’s MLB reports BUT this racist a-hole Whitlock is the most racist of them all.

EVERY YEAR, he bitches about why there are “less” black coaches in the NFL and NBA and his artciles point out to whitey’s fault. EVERY EFFING YEAR...

[Kaslin]

Thank for the ping, jaz. It shows me how ignorant Whitlock is
