Oh Damn, Did Whitlock Really Say That?
(The Big Lead blog)
-
Whitlock: "W.E.B. Dubois talked about the talented 10 percent leading the black masses. 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."This is an old story, by Net standards, but WTF, this is my blog, and my blog is my outboard notebook, and this one is worth due notation for my purposes. Jason Whitlock is a KC-based sportswriter whom I've never read, but have seen on ESPN many times, when he sits in on PTI. He's outspoken, he tends to hyperbole (as most sportswriters do; relax fellas, it truly is just a game and not real life) and often I disagree with his sports takes, but I guess that's the sign of a good columnist: they challenge your opinions. But this Ignorant 5 concept of his, on the other hand, I couldn't agree with more.
