Whitlock getting taken to task on Deadspin

[NYC Rebel]

oh breh.. hes going to unleash some FURY on his podcast

that fukk hasnt stayed this quiet on twitter for the longest, hes holding everything back for th podcast i'd imagine

The thing is....going forward, when he goes into character again, it's going to be so stuck to the Deadspin articles script that he won't seem real to those that read him again.

Dude is Austin Powers minus his c00n mojo

V. It's truly sad that blacks have to celebrate common decency as a great victory. There's a piece making the rounds today by a black writer who talks about how tiring it is to write about racism. He compares it to having to write an impassioned opinion piece against drunk drivers murdering children. Is essence: why do we have to keep writing, shouting, passionately pleading for people to demonstrate a decency that should be fundamental, implicit? White and black sports "journalists" alike have been citing black cultural pathology on air and in print as a legitimate sports talking point for years now with no repercussions. It has been an acceptable part of espn discourse to wonder whether bad black parenting makes black players unfit to play point guard, to win championships. This is insanity. And that's not on Whitlock, that's on the people who reward Whitlock. I'm hoping that piece is in the wings, but I highly doubt it.

Could you provide a link to this piece?

There's a discussion about it in Higher Learning as well. http://www.thecoli.com/threads/the-...ite-about-hate-over-and-over-and-over.221880/

The discussion didn't go very far because the argument, while well written, is familiar to anyone who has a stake on the black side of this issue. Personally, I got tired of reading columns from black writers discussing racism years ago because it felt like no matter how they felt about it, they were being trotted out and displayed for the sake of "here's a negro discussing race" instead of something that was to be taken seriously.

1. In regards to that quote his mother gave about him being scared...what is it with Toms and constantly having that trait of being cowardly

I guess that's what makes them turn into toms instead of being comfortable in their own skin.

I had a cousin that was really shy and quiet growing up, and when she reached 18 she basically wanted to be white. It was terrible, everyone in the family saw it, she was a grade A bed wench. Out of all her hundreds of facebook friends, not a one was black until she added another one of our cousins.

I don't know if I would call Whitlock a fake journalist and I think he does make valid points at times, but he just seems to me a Black Conservative who has this view that Hip-hop is a sort of cannibalizing force that is a detriment to our community. Yet he fails to see the forces that have led us here. As critical this article is, I think would be more constructive to make counter points to his articles as oppose to essentially calling him an Uncle Tom or a Sambo through unnamed back channels. Or painting this portrait of a scared fat kid in the burbs a means of discrediting his experience. As cool as this article is to read, I think that this is adding to the problem not taking steps forward.

I have a cousin who is 3 years younger than me...was never exactly shy but just like your cousin in her mid to late teens she just seemed so whitewashed...out of nowhere she just turned into some japanese obsession person...im not just talking about anime the way we all reminisced watching dbz when younger....I mean extremely...talking in a weird voice...think she listens to japanese and korean pop...not even R&B

That writer didn't actually dispute anything that Whitlock has written about the problems with black culture. All he could do was call Whitlock an Uncle Tom and say that anyone who agrees with him is a racist.

I think the writer, much like most of the posters on the Coli, can't handle it when confronted by uncomfortable truths that someone like Whitlock presents. That is why the respond with mostly insults instead of actual intelligent debate.

Whitlock is the man.
