Thanks for the ping, rqsr. I debated pinging the list but as you I believe it’s worthy, check my post #10.
This guy is out of his league, as are most sports announcers. He belongs in a minstrel show.
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).
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....
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.
Jason Whitlock, a longtime KC sports... uh, well I guess he’s labeled a “writer” doesn’t have the intellect to shine Professor Sowell’s shoes!
Both write columns, but there’s no comparison to the content or intellect that goes into them. Dr. Sowell writes for adults, yet is perfectly capable of making clear very complex subjects (like economics) to people of all levels of education.
Jason Whitlock... I’m not really sure who he writes for, but the guy has proven himself, over and over again, to be a booger-eating-moron (BEM.)
It’s just jealousy. Whitlock WISHES in his dearest dreams that he could put together a column with the wit and clarity just a fraction as good as the worst Sowell column.

Everyone here knows how much I respect and admire Thomas Sowell.
So Mr Whitlock, GTH!
How many average black people on the street have even heard of Thomas Sowell?
Wow!! . . . and he was the first one to do it. . . . </sarc>
Apparently Jason is enjoying his new-found fame as a complete idiot, and trying to lengthen his 15 minutes of fame by making more idiotic comments. Imagine how many people around this buffoon are laughing at him behind his back.
As usual, the pea brain needs a lesson in history.
I’d compare Jason Whitlock to a dung heap, but then the dung heap would be offended.
Breaking News: Mr. Silverback looks into his toilet and compares Jason Whitlock to his most recent bowel movement.
I have a serious question for Mr. Whitlock: If RGIII is a cornball brother and Thomas Sowell is a house slave, what sort of sister is the Obamaphone lady? Jason Whitlock probably watches that video and thinks he’s looking at Rosa Parks or Marian Anderson.
“Controversial black sports columnist Jason Whitlock compared black conservative scholar Thomas Sowell to a house slave in a series of tweets on Wednesday.”
I almost have to ROFL.
I’d like to paraphrase Rush and say Sowell could beat Whitlock with both hands tied behind his back just to make it fair. Or both brains. Oops, Tom has 2, Whitlock 0.
