Jason Whitlock Tees Off
After following a link from Deadspin, I just finished reading this interview at The Big Lead blog, with columnist Jason Whitlock. I've always been indifferent to Whitlock (he did have a great EA NCAA column in the Kansas City Star a couple years ago) , but this is a *great* interview. He takes a great parting shot (he's leaving ESPN's Page 2) at that spaztic punk, Mike Lupica and has some pointed, direct and honest answers to some questions that most people would dodge. Here's a highlight:
Q: A Civil Rights movement? In 2006?
...We’re letting the Ignorant 5 lead us straight to hell. The Ignorant 5 are telling white folks, “Yeah, this is how we really is. Let me bojangle for ya, boss. You say step and I’ll show ya I can fetch.” And what’s even more dangerous, the Ignorant 5 are telling black kids, “It’s cool to be locked up. It makes a man out of you. And don’t embrace education. Dealing dope and playing basketball are better career choices.” The Ignorant 5 is the new KKK and twice as deadly. That’s why you don’t hear ‘bout the KKK anymore. The Klan is just sitting back letting 50 Cent and all the other bojanglers do all the heavy lifting.
Uh. Wow.
