wow is right. wow.

I'm sorry, I can't help but to crack up everytime Jason gets behind a keyboard and actually convinces people there's activity in that head of his. He better hope and pray his REAL views on black women never come to the light.

Somebody get the self righteous indignation music cued up. Better yet, scratch that and cue up a good ol fashioned opportunist tune. I seriously didn't think horses rode that high.

I call him the Tape Delay Writer....because he always says something half ass that a thousand other people said with some real thought. Then once he realizes one group sees him for what he is, he goes and passes it off as some groundbreaking thought to another group who might not have the same point of reference as the previous one.

Newsflash: A whole hell of a lot of black people hate commercial rap music and the accompanying culture. A whole hell of a lot of black people hate the fact that blacks use the n word. A whole hell of a lot of black people have been saying ALL of this stuff for YEARS.

Jason has an agenda....he wants to be the "shocking" black writer not afraid to tell it like it is. Sound familiar? Talk about your double standards. In his words, "being a regular black dude didn't work."

So basically in his latest, he read a bunch of stuff by much smarter people, regurgitated the parts he liked which are always coincidentally warped to his desired context and passed it off as his own original thoughts.......as usual.

If you want to see someone dig their own grave and be intimidated by people who know enough to challenge him on his points, go to a roundtable or panel discussion with Jason Whitlock as one of the guest speakers.

He's so damn lazy. He used to be so much better than this. My favorite was the, "I'm not black" rant after the All-Star game. Comedy.

I'd rather stab my tongue repeatedly while reading a Michael Eric Dyson book on tape about the greatness of effin Tupac than another of Jason's angry, "I'm so ashamed, I'm not one of them" pearls of wisdom.



In the meantime, I think some of you need to read up on internal racism, colorism aka the color complex, the black caste system and the like if you really want to "nail it".

Fight the good fight Jason. Whatever.

Let me guess, he only saw half the press conference and it wasn't the half that included Essence Carson's remarks.

I can't really comment, because on the one hand, a lot of the crap that's said in modern, trendy hip-hop is ugly and appalling (what percentage of it can be understood because a lot of these guys have really awful flow). On the other hand, just because performers refer to generic hos, the RU women shouldn't have been offended when they were singled out specifically as hos? And how seriously would a crusade against misogyny and internalized racism in rap/hip-hop be taken if it were led by a women's basketball coach?

I also can't really comment because I do NOT like the way he called out Stringer, but I accept that I may not like it because I am a Rutgers fan and not for any objective reasons.

I seem to recall (well, actually, I looked at my semi-transcript) that there was a question asked about rap music during the Rutgers press conference, and that Essence Carson answered it:

"I know that rap, hip-hop and other music of that genre has desensitized" people. "That doesn't make it right . . . all that matters is that it's wrong . . . We [need to get to the point where we] don't classify women as hos, we don't classify African American women as nappy-headed hos."

Interestingly, there's no reference to that here. It makes you wonder if he didn't bother to watch or didn't care to include information that didn't fit his thesis.

Oh, and CVS did not ramble for 30 minutes. It was 20 minutes, tops, and he should thank his lucky stars for that.

Thank you Timber. The Rutgers women said as much. Problem is, there are not many women who can get music played on the airwaves if they say anything profound or strong willed so a lot of girl bballers listen to the thugs and, as a very famous bball player (then a junior in high school)told me when I asked her about 50 cent, "I turn the words around to basketball." I'm sure this whole thing has been a consciousness raiser for the Rutgers women and all girl bballers. Luckily, some of those bballers are song writers. Now they can add women's studies, black studies, history, law, and sociology to their courses if they haven't already been taking them, which, judging from what they said in their press conference, some of them are.

Why the bile against Jason? He call s out Sharpton and Jackson as the hucksters they are? That it is ok for Curtis Jackson and Calvin Broadaus to call women hos and treat them like shit in thier "music"?

Remember SHarpton and how he created an issuee withTawana Brawley -- and the do gooders are still making that asshole out as a savior? For those who forgot, Brawley was out past curfew and made up a story a white man raped her. Sharpton took the story and ran with it even though it was proved 10 times over it was a lie.

I always have a problem with issues concerning race when the focus is shipped from the message to the messenger.

I am still trying to figure out how and why, the media and far too many non-black folks have come to the conclusion that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are our "Black -Leaders" of choice and we march to the beat of their drum.

I don't think I can put together 5 black people who don't think Jesse is a joke.

the longer c viv sPringer carries her cross, the more this charade will be exposed.

mike and mike...larry king....oprah...the RU national recruiting tour marches on.

This whole notion that CVS is going out of her way to milk the situation and rally up sympathy is crazy. She didn't ask for this and it was days before she and the team even went public with their side. Now, numerous sources want to hear their view. I mean why would she turn down the likes of Larry King, Today and Oprah who all wanted to hear the team's side? And, in actuality, all she and the team ever really stated with regards to Imus and disciplinary actions, was that they wanted to meet with him.

[cthskzfn]

Part of the problem is the white media, which is predominate, seems to think they are, and perception tends to overshadow reality so many times in this world...in business, in society, and in sports.



it's no mistake- the media deliberately presents these lame-ass men as "black leaders" to the white majority in order to keep barriers between the races.

You seem to be doing a great at that also; you should join the media. I think you'd be a great asset in furthering that cause.



why do you think that? because while i find imus' remarks assinine, i don't believe he should be fired? because i believe the RU women are not "scarred for life" and that they are smart and strong enough young adults to handle the remarks made by a stranger? because i refuse to accept ajavon as a victim? because i believe cvs will milk this beyond the necessary for her own good? because i believe al and jesse are a couple of clowns?

i'm interested to know.
