Jason Whitlock - Imus firing was overreaction

[TheCaliCapitalist]

If a person called his daughter, wife, girlfriend, mother, aunt, grandmother or friend a jigaboo, nappy head WHORE over the airwaves for the entire world to hear I highly doubt he would be ignoring it. This guy is so childish its unbelievable. He is a lacky and an uncle tom.

[SOLISDEUS]

This man is a walking contradiction. Today he wrote an article inferring Mike Shanahan benched Donovan McNabb because of racism. Then he add's, "I am not playing the race card" following up with a clarification that "race was not a factor" but he categorizes Shanahan as part of the "good ole boys network." Add to that Whitock's characterization of a white coach whom felt his black quarterback couldn't hold the football because of fried chicken grease. Jason has his cake and eats it.

[ndc18]

I agree with this man

[Chaz770]

Whitlock has done nor said anything new! He is just trying to be the new black guy who gets paid for the anti-black dibble that plays into the mainstream's hype machine

[tobiasrobbins72]

@Chaz770 LOL there is a LOT more "pro-black, anti-white" dibble going on in mainstream media these days. Whitlock just preaches common sense.

[Chaz770]

@tobiasrobbins72 Your view is naive and lacks historical context .Think about the real world you live in. Who runs the country, and who are the disenfranchised? Who controls the media? People like you it reminds me how far we still have to grow. Jason Whitlock is taking advantage of you, by giving what you want to here for personal gain. Open you heart, think, and then comment.

[tobiasrobbins72]

@Chaz770 LOL You are being too easily maniplated. "Whites" do not control the media. "People who are white" do, most of whom are Jewish and have no allegiance to goys. "Whites" do not run the country. Less than one percet of people who are white in this country do. Your prejudices and biases are being used to keep your mind closed. Let logic guide you.

Jason Whitlock is a logical man. If you can only see logic in terms of color you are a sad person indeed, bud sadly typical.

[Chaz770]

@tobiasrobbins72 Two quick points and one recommendation then you can have the complete floor because I’m done.

Your focus is race/Jews not mine! You’re trying to be cerebral, but your focal point is narrow, and your loyalties twist your conclusions in spite of truth. Stop looking in the mirror for answers; broaden your circles, and good luck to you!

[Shirashama]

Acting like a victim weakens your position. He's right. Playing the race card always hurts you in the long run. I should know, I tried it a few times as a younger man.

[cowardattack]

Whites hate blacks for the simple reason that their skin is dark, Black people hate whites because they hate blacks. Black men don't beg or request anybody's love and when a race is used to other races kissin' the private parts, you get spoiled.....stop listening to Rush Lipbomb and Sarah Palin

[tobiasrobbins72]

@cowardattack That is nonsense. How can you say whites "hate blacks for their color"? Sure, some do. As do some blacks hate others (not just whites) for thier color. To simplify things like that is pure ignorance.

[cowardattack]

I appeciate the insight on the case, I admit when I hear trouble on ESPN I don't get too much in the details because I am not a nosey person by nature or a person who enjoys other people's demise I was just stating the facts. True story: I got fired from a job because I DIDN'T like a girl and it made her cry when I finally told her upfront so I can't see why someone who actually gets accused of something can garner so much sympathy.....Oh wait a minute I do know.

[Malignantspiritify]

Finally somebody that knows what he is talking about.

[cowardattack]

If Whites hate Jesse jackson and Al Sharpton they must be doing something right. Whitlock is a tap-dancing uncle tom and only usable in the whote community, We gladly offer him up for sacrifice.

[ptsmmrs]

she may have confused sharpton with jesse jackson,same thing when you think about it.

[Mikevdog]

Many blacks deride other successful blacks as being "too white" or call the "Uncle Tom". Too often, people who are failures do not want others to succeed either.

[cowardattack]

@Mikevdog I don't know any jealous blacks that want other blacks to be poor. That frame of mind is decended from Great Britain. That's why the poor Scots were shipped on a slow boat from GB

[Mikevdog]

@cowardattack Most civil rights leaders like to play the victim card. They have a vested interest in fostering the black underclass perception. Rev Al and Rev Jackson come to mind.

[cowardattack]

@Mikevdog that's for black people to decide, the civil rights people now avoided bullets and dogs and politician so there card is redeemable.

[Mikevdog]

@cowardattack Sure it is. I sometimes question their methods. Examples: Tawana Brawley, Duke LaCrosse.

[cowardattack]

@Mikevdog The method is not to hesitate when a crime is committed towards a black person even when alleged. Rape is a crime where the man gets locked up, THEN the investigation starts. That didn't happen, but we know SOMETHING happened, either they bought hookers or they raped them, no different than the sex boat in minnesota except the viking are of age to make these decisions

[cowardattack]

@cowardattack If you are really concerned with what's right pressure your police station to open up some cold cases from the jim crowe days

[Mikevdog]

@cowardattack The black whore admitted she lied when she was trapped when the exculpatory evidence appeared (evidence that was withheld by the prosecutor to make political points with the black community). The university, the press, and "black leaders" all went along for the ride. The students were suspended with no evidence to support this action.

[Mikevdog]

@cowardattack On the legal front, in June 2007 a N.C. State Bar disciplinary panel concluded after a trial that DA Nifong had made inflammatory and prejudicial comments about the case, intentionally withheld DNA evidence and lied to court officials. The panel called for his disbarment and Nifong resigned his office.

[Mikevdog]

@cowardattack Tawana Brawley (born 1972) is an African American woman from Wappinger, New York. In 1987, at the age of 15, she received national media attention in the US for accusing six white men, some of whom were police officers, of having raped her. The accusations soon earned her notoriety, which was inflamed by Brawley's advisors (including the Reverend Al Sharpton and attorneys Alton H. Maddox and C. Vernon Mason),

[Mikevdog]

@cowardattack After hearing evidence, a grand jury concluded in October 1988 that Brawley had not been the victim of a forcible sexual assault and that she herself may have created the appearance of an attack. The New York prosecutor whom Brawley accused as one of her alleged assailants successfully sued Brawley and her three advisers for defamation

[Mikevdog]

Imus for President!

[mcsas]

I like Jason but he falls into a common grammatical error when he says, "I could care less about Imus...". What he really means to say is, "I COULDN'T care less about Imus...". Why does this complete perversion of intent retain such linguistic currency? BTW, read Jason's article on the Phillips sexual incident and why the rules need to change. It's an extremely good example of composition. Jason writes much better than he speaks. He should stick to print and leave tv/radio alone.

[salbella50]

these are the kind of blacks that know the white man is going to keep them employed..if they can down black professionals..they are on the team..go nigga boy..

[salbella50]

Jason is a tool for fox news..the white man is fucking this turd in the ass...fat fuck...

[aha45]

Smart man

[blissfullyme1980]

This is the same man that made a rude comment about Serena Williams being fat and her butt being to big to reach her highest potential, lol this overweight fool has his nerve. We all know the Williams sisters are very muscular and fit. I am starting to believe this black man has hidden issues with black woman.

[AskThiesmansLeg]

Actually, the article he wrote was in total respect to Serena. But he stated that she has underachieved with her tremendous talent, and rather than bitch and moan about eating in a locker room and complaining about being #2 (as if she wins tournaments in regular fashion) she should be committed to dominate the field, because she has the skill. And yes, she is not fat in the way we think of fat, but she is not disciplined in being in "tennis shape" and it has shown in a lot of her matches.

[990305]

Witlock is a uncle Tom Nigger white Cracker.

[ptsmmrs]

why is it if a black guy has a independent mind and doesnt blindly toe the line for the black cause he is a "uncle tom"?

[Mikevdog]

Many blacks can't stand to see other blacks succeed.

[ptsmmrs]

it is a mystery to me what alot of blacks actually want,they feel portrayed somehow when a black man works hard all the while claiming to just want to be treated as equals.

[steven2be2003]

You are telling the truth but I dont give a fuck what they think about me succeeding in life..they can kiss my black ass and go back to the welfare line

[Mikevdog]

There are whites that do the same thing. I work with many of ambitious people of all races, religions, and whatever other characteristics are out there. We are all just people who want to do better. I applaude your effort and wish you good luck Sir.

[Dmann816]

kirbypwnz13 is full of shit.

you must be one of those black racsist I cant stand.

[KirbyPwnz13]

"I dont really care about Don Imus, but I'm gonna keep talking about him and remember the time he talked about me on his show"- Jason Whitlock

LOLOLOLOL!

[blakkbandit22]

MSNBC was approached by people who felt his statement about these young women had gone too far. He had a history of such humour which his fans know him for but MSNBC felt that that he was no longer worth having on their payroll. Sharpton and Jackson have protested The Boondocks series, BET and music labels as well as Imus. The media blows everything out of proportion, they're still bitching about Janet Jackson and the Super Bowl, so should this reaction really surprise any one ?

[boomstick545]

goddamn it, this and michael richards, if it was a black person making fun of a white person, nobody would care

[StoogeWatcher]

Dear racist black bigots,

Don Imus isn't the cause of all the problems. Rape hoaxes and rap music are.

[Bloodsport1]

What is cause of all the problems is your delusional world of white is perfect and never does anything wrong. How is rap music causes of all problems when it is only 30 years old.

[Mikevdog]

Rap reflects the problems already in existence and pushes further by glorifying bad behavior

[ndc18]

C'mon man.

[Mikevdog]

I wouldn't play it in front of my parents or in church.

[dieselshug]

i hate to say this but jason whitlock is sucka.

[Bloodsport1]

Jason Whitlock = Uncle Tom

[StoogeWatcher]

Must be great to be black AND liberal. You practically get away with anything.

[Bloodsport1]

How do you know I'm a liberal and black? How do blacks get away with everything?

[StoogeWatcher]

Only a liberal black would call Jason Whitlock and others like him "Uncle Toms" for daring to speak out against Al Sharpton.

[Bloodsport1]

How about if I say AL Sharpton is a uncle Tom. In a matter of fact all of them are uncle Tom.

[deadfresh10]

lol blacks hate al sharpton. i do too.

[aha45]

Everyone hates em

[kingkhameleon]

jesse jackson a racist. the faggot

[nikeivy]

whatsgoingon07....whitlock is keeping it real...people are too sensitive these days

[whatsgoingon07]

he might as well change his name to

jason lickwhitecock

[gldmj55]

jason whitlock you're a cool dude but you suck at making fantasy football predictions ;)

[MalcomAP]

Jason Whitlock is 1000000000000000% right

[1488smasher]

Please lynch me SillySalamander..oh please oh please.

[cliftonjoel]

jason whitlock kissing the whiteman ass i'm shock his master let him speak

[pianosoulchild]

This guy is a fat pig and should learn how to think!

[Mikevdog]

how should he think?

[andron333]

it is really sad how the girls basketball team had been exploited in this way by these political clowns(sharpton, jackson), but the girls were spineless to go along with it

[dmoore76]

Now the Rutgers women's basketball team is spineless. It is amazing how America always turns the attention away from themselves and focuses on the victims. The same situation with Don Imus. We went from Don Imus's comments to the hip hop community. I acknowledge the diversionary tactics. Don Imus was irresponsible in his position and was appropriately releaved of his duties. PERIOD.

[kondor26]

whcha gonna do when they come for you Sharpton?

[CoolSneakers]

The world needs to do away with Jackson and Sharpton. They only cultivate the feeling inferiority of the black man.

[GDawg34]

He's absolutely right, & before some of you sheep who believe anything the newsmedia shove down your throat label Jason as "pro white" or an "uncle tom" type, let me remind you it was him calling the open rooting against the US olympic basketball team partly racist. He just calls it like he sees it, not afraid to speak his mind, I applaud him for it.

[mxmikol]

What a setup! A black man disparaging Sharpton and Jackson. Numerous references to Martin Luther King and a slight rap on Imus. I'm sure this guy is a balm and a reinforcement to many white conservatives and racists.

[stringyhaired]

How so? If more black people had his philosophy, they'd have better lives. He's tired of blacks being miserable when they don't have to be.

[prmass1]

Finally! A nigger that is pro white. What took so long?

[StarTrekFan2007]

It's not just that he's pro-white. He's also pro-black. He wants to unite whites and blacks. Sharpton and Jackson on the other want to divide people.

[StarTrekFan2007]

It's not just that he's pro-white. He's also pro-black. He wants to unite whites and blacks. Sharpton and Jackson, on the other hand, want to divide people.

[skawdz101]

Nobody should get fired for a joke. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are pimps. But then again Michelle Malkin is a whore, so she can't talk. Maybe we need a little middle ground! But from where? hmmm...

[Fhomie]

Yes Don Imus is that powerful some of his listeners are Doctors, Lawyers and white people who are in the position of power to hire a qualified black person for a job. Don Imus should be fired because his influence to white people can contribute to the the bad treatment and discrimination of blacks

[stringyhaired]

He is NOT that powerful! All people, whatever color, can take control of their own lives!

[Alphamale69]

He looks like he just had a lobotomy! Jason, what did they do to you?? Oh my god, they've tampered with his brain! I saw something like this in the Manchurian Candidate. It's for REAL! IT'S ALIVE...ALIVE I TELL YOU!!!!!!!!!

[sbdance]

A calm and rational straight shooter. Should drive the white apologists and shuck-jiving minstrel victimhood collective out of their minds.

[Alphamale69]

I nominate Jason Whitlock for Prez-oh-dent! Anybody believe in him so strongly that you wanna give him financial backing? Let's put your money where your mouth is. RUN JASON RUN!

[Alphamale69]

So the way this Jason lackey reasons, if someone calls him a "nigger," he'll just brush it off. Yeah, he'll go far in his profession, but how can he look at himself in the mirror. Personally, I don't follow ANY leader but my God. Didn't Imus initiate contact w/Sharpton? People just hate Sharpton. The media appointed him as the "leader" of Black people. And I ask whites, "Who is YOUR leader? This Jason boy should stick with sports.

[Alphamale69]

This bowing, scraping, shuffling negro does NOT speak for me! The mere fact that whites are drooling over him should tell you something. I guess now Jason will get a promotion, or better yet, allowed to bring Massa's car around front. This issue isn't about Rev. Sharpton or Jesse, but Imus and his disregard for black women. I wonder if Jason has a daughter. He's a "shine" in every sense of the word. A black man would be hanged for saying that about some white girls.

[cyphadiaz]

Jason Whitlock is tha same kinda black person that woulda went and told "Massa" that the Negroes had books and were learning to read. The only thing that's funnier than him is all of these white people that wanna give him a pat on the head like a "good little negro" cause he spews this rhetoric.

[mnkwazi]

cyphadiaz you sound like the typical narrowminded black American, your mind revolves around slavery and victimhood. It is so pathetic. Just because another black person is not going to whine about racism FIRST and FOREMOST does not make him a good little negro.

[raggityman]

This comment is ridiculous. Imus' remarks were stupid, but the firing of Imus is CBS using the controversy to renegotiate his enormous salary. In a few month Imus will be back on the radio if not TV.

[srotagadirolf]

C'mon Jason! We all know the Dems are the one pulling the strings here. Jackson and Sharpton are just pawns in the game.

[mnkwazi]

Welcome to the BLACK COMMUNITY. As a black male I can tell that Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are  OPPORTUNISTS. Individually they want to be seen as saviours of black people so what they do is they focus on issues like Imus and Duke Lacrosse RATHER than the thousands of black men killed by black men yearly in America. All they want to do is get points with simple uneducated Blacks.

[stringyhaired]

I'm glad you see them for who and what they are. I am astounded that more blacks do not realize how much their "leadership" insults them. They treat them like they can't make it in life without them "rescuing" them.

[bloodcove]

jason is completely right, about black leaders though. they never talk about the real issues

[mnkwazi]

Black leaders today are some of the most manipulative and deceptive people. Black problems are out of wedlock births, crime, NOT educating yourself, speaking and acting like a fool, CONSTANT blaming of white people for everything etc. Do you there are 12 million adult blackmales in America? 1 million are in PRISON.

[khepraevolutionary]

I am a Black Man. And I have a question for you mnkwazi. If pieces of paper signed and drafted in the 1770's can be celebrated and said to have such a profound impact on everything in America today, then how does continuous acts and behavior that were done during that time and beyond not have an equally profound effect on today? I appreciate your logical and rational response if you can find one.

[nadelbbirt]

khepraevolutionary, I am a white 54 year old researcher of factual history. Thankfully my parents would undo the white history lies I was taught in school. The ongoing ignorance in most of the white community is the result of what happened in the vile past. Until they realize that the past won't go away until our leadership reflects a balanced racial leadership in government and corporate America things will only get worse.

[raggityman]

Good comment. Thank you for it.

[mowm88]

Whitlock is very smart.

[nolandaabills]

finnaly a intelligent arguement by a black man due to this contriversay.

[jbfan622]

jason whitlock is in the house if you know what I mean

[reginalyn]

Jason Whitlock is a wonderful positive voice of reason. He should be a leader.

[shortdude42004]

Jason Whitlock should replace Jessi Jackson

[born2sing2theworld]

Jason Witlock is the most sensible black-voice out there now! Blacks need to STOP the fucking vitimhood and hipocrisy bullshit! No one will save us BUT OURSELVES and we should begin with cleaning up the filth in our own communities before we try to clean those of others!

[stringyhaired]

Amen! As a white person, I am sickened by the condescending way in which blacks are often treated. Why is it that most white people are treated like they can brush off anything that offends them, but oh no blacks are just too fragile to do that. As Larry Elder said, blacks are so often treated like little kids. Oh, they can't help themselves. We must "protect" them.

[raskofa]

Hey, I'm a white guy and it's hard to believe that this guy would stoop so low just to accomodate the racist norm that permeates our society. Imus is in all of us in some shape or form. Morally I despise my conformity to our ethnocentric attitude towards our ancestors. It's unjust.
