Jason Whitlock invokes Malcolm X v MLK in piece on Incognito situation

[KillSpray]

Surprised I didn't see a thread on this. Here's the link: http://m.espn.go.com/nfl/story?storyId=9941696&src=desktop

I know this guy is a clown and a troll, but this piece struck me as especially embarrassing. This is just shameful. I can picture espn's white audience reading this like it's gospel and hollering amen. Wtf? This guy has no shame.

""Richie is honorary," a black former Dolphins player told Miami Herald reporter Armando Salguero. "I don't expect you to understand because you're not black. But being a black guy, being a brother is more than just about skin color. It's about how you carry yourself. How you play. Where you come from. What you've experienced. A lot of things."

I'm black. And I totally understand the genesis of this particular brand of stupidity and self-hatred. Mass Incarceration, its b*stard child, Hurricane Illegitimacy, and their marketing firm, commercial hip-hop music, have created a culture that perpetrates the idea that authentic blackness is criminal, savage, uneducated and irresponsible. The tenets of white supremacy and bigotry have been injected into popular youth culture. The blackest things a black man can do are loudly spew the N-word publicly and react violently to the slightest sign of disrespect or disagreement."

Just to be clear, Whitlock is embarrassing because he's throwing black men under the bus without any context to a majority white audience. This shyt is disgraceful.

Looks more like he's calling out the c00ns in the dolphins locker room and the cac savages there as well.

this clown in a nutshell. reading his 'articles' its always like you feel he can have a legitimate point to be made, until in the second or third sentence he exposes his true face.

like Ive said, that was his intention, which definitely has grounds, but he destroys his own credibility (for a new reader, most of us know he has none) literally 3 sentences into the article

Plenty of ether to go around in this article:

• A tatted-up, N-word-tossing white goon() is more respected and accepted than a soft-spoken, highly intelligent black Stanford graduate.
• A wide swath of America believes the nonviolent intellectual needs to adopt the tactics of the barbarian.
• What makes me want to check into a mental hospital is Miami's black players' unconditional love of Incognito and indifference to Martin.
• Richie Incognito is an "honorary" bigot, standing on the shoulders of Gov. George Wallace. The fact that a group of young black men in the Dolphins' locker room can't see that speaks to the level of ignorance unleashed by Mass Incarceration, Hurricane Illegitimacy and commercial hip-hop.
• You don't put Jonathan Martin in a cell with Incognito and Pouncey. It takes intelligence and common sense to connect with and manage Martin. Those attributes appear to be in short supply in Miami.
• There's a popular belief you can't consistently win football games without a few "thugs" like Incognito in your locker room. Makes you wonder how Stanford competes with USC, Oregon, UCLA, etc., every year. You wonder how Nebraska and Oregon survived after booting Incognito. You wonder why three NFL teams let him go. Maybe he's not as essential as the myth-makers would have you believe.
• When you grow up, you're left to figure things out on your own. That's why we have a generation of young people who can't recognize the self-hatred and damage of describing yourself as the N-word. They don't know what they haven't been taught. Video games, iPads and headphones can't raise a child. But those technological advances can entertain and empower popular culture to corrupt.
• Finally he snapped. He wasn't raised to be a full-blown idiot.

whats the problem?


rarely agree with whitlock...but have no issue with what he wrote here....

my guess is most wont bother to read it and just call him a c00n

you dont have a problem with him making wide generalizations and hyperboles, and as usually blaming hip hop for the situation at hand ?

if he wanted to address ignorance, he shouldve started with himself
his own ignorance is exactly why he 'understands' the self-hatred.

the whole malcolm and martin parallel was HORRIBLE. not only its terrible in general, but is also a subtle hint that whitlock actually thinks x was ignorant and a bigot

one thing hes right about tho, hes no idiot. hes just a bigot himself.
