“Both racial preferences and racism played a role. And I would argue that they didn't balance each other out. Racism had much more of an impact."

Hmm aren't racial preferences racism.?

“I want to offer my experience as a lesson, for the precipice from which I plunged is one on which many young, ambitious, well-educated and accomplished African Americans and other “minorities” teeter...."

What a Class A-1 Jerkoff this jerkoff is. He's an amoral creep who thinks he's clever. He'll make a fine Democrat candidate for national political office....

What does he mean by "relationships"?

That is the $64 thousand question......not been explained.......yet.

I just hope "Pinch" and Raines are not involved (not much, I don't). LOL.

He oughta join the nine moral midgets currently running for prez.

I hear Carol Moseley Braun is dropping out....so there's a diversity opening.

Howell Green Was My Valley, or Baby, Sometimes the Raines Must Fall.
An Autobiography by Jayson Blair
As Told to Janet Cooke

It was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly a shot rang out.

As I dove for cover, I saw John Malvo spit out a grape stem as he and his cohort drove off in their sniper mobile. Around me the people of Maryland lay low, fearing another shot.

My attention was drawn to a young blonde in an army uniform. She stood tall among the cowering populace as she carefully took aim at the fleeing snipers. As she began to squeeze the trigger, John Ashcroft knocked the weapon down.

"Ah jes' know I coulda stopped 'em," she said in a distinctive West Virginia accent.

Ashcroft turned to her, "We need the chaos. It works to my advantage." As he moved to his limo, he added, "Remember, we have bigger plans for you. You'll get your chance."

Soon after, I would make the first of many visits to the Lynch farm.....

Bridges is perfect casting.........then again Eddie Murphy would be good as the older Jayson.

The scene at the NYT retreat when "the moose" made the
scene will be a good trailer to advertise the film.

Let's see...do I kill myself or make a killing by writing a book...

Kinda sums up the moral confusion of the era.

This is good: '“It does appear a bit complicated and unseemly,” said Mr. Rosenthal...", one of the publishing poobahs quoted in the article about the possibility of publishing this flyer of Blair. Mr. Rosenthal is a sensitive soul.
I haven't seen anybody rebound like this since Jesse Jackson went into meditation mode after being outed as the father of the baby of his "aide"! Remarkable recuperative powers, Mr. Blair.

How? By shooting yourself in the foot until you bled to death?

What an asshole.

He'd be terrific as Hillary's running mate. She's got tremendous experience putting up with liars....
