What specifically is misguided in the article? Perhaps you can enlighten some of the uniformed posters.
Sure, starting with yourself, of course.
1.
"There's a reason I call them the Black KKK. The pain, the fear and the destruction are all the same."
Uh, no. A white terrorist organization (rooted in politicians and law enforcement) formed to hang, beat and intimidate blacks who sought to exercise their constitutional rights as citizens...
Is not the same as ignorant, emotionally immature, and usually uneducated young black men killing each other as a default for settling disputes. Not even close.
2.
"Our new millennium strategy is to pray the Black KKK goes away or ignores us. How's that working?"
Maybe that's what JASON WHITLOCK is doing, but tens of thousands of young blacks are involved in SOLUTIONS that include more than prayer. Maybe if he got off his fat ass and volunteered time or income, he wouldn't have to resort to poison pen attacks on young blacks for the amusement of whites and black fools that support Whitlock's platform.

"No disrespect to Taylor, but he controlled the way he would be remembered by the way he lived."
No disrespect? When every team member and family member and friend interviewed says he had grown up tremendously and calmed down tremendously in two years? Oh, but "no disrespect."

"Rather than whine about white folks' insensitivity or reserve a special place of sorrow for rich athletes, we'd be better served mustering the kind of outrage and courage it took in the 1950s and 1960s to stop the white KKK from hanging black men from trees.
But we don't want to deal with ourselves. We take great joy in prescribing medicine to cure the hate in other people's hearts. Meanwhile, our self-hatred, on full display for the world to see, remains untreated, undiagnosed and unrepentant. "
Who is this WE? WTF has Jason Whitlock concretely done to help the problem except attack other black journalists for no reason, attack black athletes out of jealousy, and put his "self-hatred, on full display for the world to see"?
Jason wouldn't have done SHIT in the 50s and 60s but attack Martin and Malcolm and Stokely and the rest as "rabble rousers."

"You're damn straight I blame hip hop for playing a role in the genocide of American black men. When your leading causes of death and dysfunction are murder, ignorance and incarceration, there's no reason to give a free pass to a culture that celebrates murder, ignorance and incarceration."
Oh really? Hip-hop, i.e. breakin' DJing, rapping, graffitti, production, fashion, etc. promotes all of that? Cause I thought WHITE CORPORATIONS PROMOTED ALL OF THAT. But Whitlock is a punk faggot who won't bite the hand that feeds him.

"Of course there are other catalysts, but until we recapture the minds of black youth, convince them that it's not OK to "super man dat ho" and end any and every dispute by "cocking on your bitch," nothing will change."
So now Soulja Boy rapping about two dances, the Superman and Supersoaker, are twisted around as misogyny and violence??

Are you pro-Whitey I mean Whitlock posters really that gullible?

"a thousand poor black kids today ignore the opportunity that is served to them on a platter."
Oh you mean like the feeder high schools that send 75% of their students to the prison system, as Oprah reported on? Educational opportunities like those?
8.
"There's only one group of people who can change the rotten, anti-education, pro-violence culture our kids have adopted. We have to do it."
We who? Was Whitlock at the Jena 6 protests? Does Whitlock appear in Black media organs like the Amsterdam News and the Chicago Defender to spread his message of reform to the Black community? When's the last time Whitlock appeared on Tavis Smiley or the Tom Joyner Show to defend his comments? He popped up at Morehouse and got slaughtered to the point where he refused to engage his critics.
Where is HIS ACCOUNTABILITY FOR HIS COMMENTS? He hides behind whites and gets frustrated Negroes like those in this very thread to co-sign it? FUCK outta here.

"According to reports, Sean Taylor had difficulty breaking free from the unsavory characters he associated with during his youth."
No according to reports, HE HAD BROKEN FREE and had difficultly getting them to ACCEPT IT.
10.
"The Black KKK is enforcing the same crippling standards as its parent organization. It wants to keep black men in their place — uneducated, outside the mainstream and six feet deep."
Right, and the overarching white political and economic structure, from a population that outnumbers us 10-1, has nothing to do with keeping us uneducated and outside the mainstream.
Dude you got to be kidding me right? WHITLOCK can write bullshit for the rest of his life and he don't even come close to the bullshit we black men have done to our own community. His fat sellout ass is on point. I don't care if he was a card carrying member of the grand dragon KKK!
That's all I needed to read. You are a true self-hating Negro if you would accept the Grand Dragon of the KKK telling you that you are stupid niggurs that kill each other and it's your own fault that you are in this predicament.
It's unbelievable you could even stretch your fingers to type that. Damn, Lord save our people. They are ignorant out of their fucking minds.
Kaya, Gene Cisco, COSIGN.
I dont know what it is about people that make them think Black people have to rise above what makes us human to demand respect. Lets say for some reason Black become the perfect race, we stop killing each other, stop husslin', stop "supa mannin' that hoe", stop doin all the things that every other race in humanity does.....what then?...Will whites then say..."Hey all you good Black people, here's all the good paying jobs, NOW you deserve them??..."Come be my neighbor Mr Black Man"...."We love you now Mr Black Man, all you had to do was eliminate crime in your race Mr. Black Man, now we welcome you with open arms as our equals!!!"
If you believe this will happen...You're the dumbest mu'fuka YOU know.
By saying you're not concerned with what "other people do" You're holding Blacks to an unfair higher standard of conduct, and encouraging the "Be a Good Nigga" mentality.

damn shame ain't it?
WAKE YOUR BLACK ASSES UP!!! STOP COSIGNING THE ENEMY!!
