It pays to placate the white man!!!

All right . . . It doesn't matter that Jason Whitlock is most likely the worst writer in any print publication representing a major metropolitan area . . . On the other hand, I like the fact that he doesn't seem to take his job very seriously AND he is rumored to have a penchant for hanging out with skanky broads. All of this is gully and a good reason to admire any sports columnist.

But what I like even more is that he's taking his game to the proverbial "next level" by becoming an apologist for the sensibilities of white people. Nice!!! Accordingly, in what seems like a pat on the head for speaking out against the shakedown tactics of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, Whitlock just recently interviewed for the job of recently ousted Imus.

According to Richard Prince’s Journal-isms column, the news was reported Friday on the paper’s Web site. Kansas City Star's Jeffrey Flanagan wrote: "Word spread along the East Coast on Friday that Kansas City Star columnist Jason Whitlock interviewed with radio station WFAN's operations director, Mark Chernoff, about — you guessed it — replacing the fired Don Imus. But Whitlock said he was cool to the idea.

Yeah, while Whitlock probably isn't going to take the position (ew - sorry for that horrible image) it's just another sign that the best (i.e. most profitable) thing to do in any situation is to blame Black people for their own problems even if the the discussion is of a completely unrelated topic regarding derogatory language used by white guys in the mainstream media. Put simply, PR is profitable and nobody ever went broke telling people what they want to hear . . . Which is not only the reason why Whitlock's writing regarding the Imus incident is was so well received but also why one of Kansas City's most celebrated authors is now soon to be picking up a check regularly from the Mayor's office.

And if Whitlock is so disinterested in the job, then why bother to interview? Obviously, the guy is playing people in this town once again . . . And personally, I appreciate this kind of ploy because over time it's been shown to work. Finally, if blaming Black people for the discrimination they face is enough to earn accolades and career advancement then I think things are looking up for me as well . . . Since I'm all about painting with broad strokes and I have no problem whatsoever with portraying Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and the antics of a few dimwitted cRappers as an accurate representation of the entire Black community . . . Actually, I think I understand the strategy even more than the average bloke given that every video clip that accompanies talk of Latinos usually features the same set of desperate Mexican guys jumping over the border fence illegally.
