Jason Whitlock on Sean Taylor = Great Read

^^^^ well said Chitown


Excerpt from Tim Wise:


[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Typical, typical, typical. White folks go off, killing wholesale like there's a frickin' closeout on semi-automatic ammunition, and we get fifty "explanations" from the so-called experts who are called in by the media to make sense of it all.
[/FONT]



[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]People of color do something horrific or commit random acts of retail violence and the whole world lines up to blame one of three things: their black families (particularly their black single mommas); their black DNA (as in the rantings of The Bell Curve); or their "defective" black culture and inverted value system. Whatever the case, their blackness never, and I mean never, gets overlooked.[/FONT]



[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Gang violence in the cities heats up and we've got U.S. News and World Report running a cover story entitled: "A Shocking Look at Blacks and Crime," and every nighttime news program running stories asking "what's wrong with the black family (as if there's only one); what's wrong with these people in the "ghetto underclass."
[/FONT]



[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]But when Charles Manson, John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy, and Jeffrey Dahmer go out and do their thing, no one thinks to ask what it is about white folks that makes them cut babies out of their mothers' wombs, torture young men and bury them under the house, kill two dozen or more women for the hell of it, or consume human flesh. White deviants are afforded the privilege of individualization--"that's just crazy Charlie, ignore him, he's a potted plant"--while those of color get to represent the whole community and become exhibit A in David Duke and Charles Murray's eugenic fantasy. You say 90 percent of modern serial killers have been white? Well, isn't that puzzling. Next question.[/FONT]

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]You'll never even hear the term "white crime" uttered in polite conversation. White collar crime, maybe; but to suggest that the collar might not be the only thing lacking color, would be dogma non grata in mainstream discussion. "White-on-white violence?" What the hell is that? Never heard of it. Even in the wake of these massacres. Even as white folks are killing other white folks in Kosovo (and still other white folks are bombing them to get them to stop).[/FONT]

[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]The media and politicians have done such a fine job making sure everyone knows who to fear (namely the dark and poor) that we forget how whites are disproportionately likely to engage in all kinds of destructive behavior, from drunk driving, to drug use as teenagers, to animal mutilation, to fratricide, to cutting corners on occupational safety standards and pollution control, which then result in the deaths of twice as many people as are murdered each year.

I have never really been a fan of Jason Whitlock but he was preaching to the choir with this one. His comments were not harsh when our black brothas are being killed over nothing. The Black KKK does exist. There are some good brothas out here but then there are some that have no drive, no ambition, no respect, and no love for anyone. How can mess like Soulja Boy make it to the radio but you very rarely hear Talib Kweli or Mos Def? The slave mentality is becoming more ovbious than ever before. I remember back in high school guys could dress...when I mean dress I mean clean and sharp as a tack. Now guys want to wear T-shirts long as a dress, earrings in BOTH ears, and braids but then consider themselves men.....sounds like a female to me. Farrakhan said it best that it appears that our men of today would rather switch rather than fight for the rights of our people. I apologize if this offends the so-called thugs out here. My Dad always told be that if a guy has to call himself a thug then he isn't one. That was 100% real talk.

[Mr. Met]

To all you Whitlock supporters, if Trent Lott or David Duke said all that shit, would you be all "I hate to say it but he's right??"

FUCK NO.

You MUST consider the source no matter how much the message makes sense. Everybody doesn't have your best interest at heart and I ASSURE you that fuckin' Slobba the Hut bastard does not either.

Jason Whitlock denigrates blacks and magnifies black dysfunction FOR A WHITE AUDIENCE.

This is NOT in the Amsterdam News. NOT in the Chicago Defender. NOT in the Final Call. NOT On Tony Brown or Tavis Smiley or Tom Joyner.

WAKE THE FUCK UP.

 

[thellc]

WOW thats heavy

 

[jumbo0307]

my problem with the situation is this. nobody knows what happened in the incident. theres only speculation due to merky facts and what happened in his past. of all the stories of professional athletes having their homes invaded by intruders, this story takes the cake in terms of direct disrespect. the man died yet these writers are subliminaly tryin to say he deserved it. and before people jump on me saying "they didnt say he deserved it" i said they carefully worded themselves to pay respect to him but blame him for what happened. as with most writers, jason whitlock gives an opinion with an agenda attached. as some have already pointed out, every negative event that happens in sports involving blacks, he finds a way to tie it to the hip hop culture. some points he makes are valid but for the most point, he and michael wilbaun prove to be nothin but uncle toms.

[Lattimore]

Whitlock:

"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.

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 basically his rant boiled down to blame hip-hop.

I keep saying 70% of hip-hop is consumed by white suburban youth.

Why don't we see the same effect?

If hip-hop causes violence, then wherever hip-hop is consumed then violence follows????

Right?


Then he needs to explain why this high rate of violence does NOT occur within the community it is consumed in the most.

If he can't then hip-hop does not cause violence.

There may be a co-relation but it is NOT a casual relationship.


I wish we could understand the difference....................

Your question is easily answered. The reason young white kids don't respond the same way to hip hop as young black kids is bc they don't typically live in the environment where hip hop is created. Young white kids view Hip hop as entertainment... young black kids embrace it as a way of life acceptable among their peers parents and community. When you walk down your street in whatever hood and someone who looks like you tosses trash in the middle of the street, when there's a garbage can 2 feet away, and nobody says anything it is like co-signing that behavior. As a community by not enforcing a moral standard we're quietly accepting the dysfunction. Since the scenes in Hip hop resemble the images seen in damn near any hood the behavior is embraced because it's been glorified. The primary consumers of Hip Hop (white folks) aren't reinforced among their peers, parents and community the same way so the effects are different.

 

[Ill Paragraph]

Peace,

I don't know what the greater shame is. An uninformed Whitlock playing the opportunist and using Sean Taylor's death to once again berate the hip-hop crowd or cats on here foolishly co-signing bullshit. The facts surrounding the murder haven't even been surmised but here we are faced with the same ol', tired-assed "Crabs in the Barrel" arguments linking it with black jealously.

 

[Temujin]

The problems black people face in America have little to do with hip-hop or black culture. The Problems black people face in America are due to poverty and lack of education. The same problems that have faced us since we came to America and were forced to work for free and killed if we read a book. Systematic oppression is still in affect and if Jason "king coon" whitlock ever went to a black inner city school he would see that education is not served up on a shiny platter. He would see that in many black schools you still need the national guard to assure the safety of students.

I could point to hundreds of studies identifying the links between poverty, low education and crime. If he could show me one study that shows a casual link between listening to hip-hop and commiting crimes I would be amazed.

[teeski53]

That's funny. I just posted about it and I think it was rather harsh.

in case you missed my comment on femmenoire thread with a addition here it is:




I personally would not make that saying, The black KKK as a reference of Black on black crime because, It gives a pass in a strange way to KKK, black that kill blacks is not an organization trying to preserve itself,and contain rule over blacks, but is the effect of what happens when you have to live in poor economic and social conditions.

I would like to refer like how Amos Wilson said it

Black crime is an ally to racism white supremacy!

 

[AllState17]

I see what he is saying. Even though bringing hip hop into this is ridiculous. Downright retarded, even, but anyways.

 

[O.J PIMPSON]

Okay blacks killing blacks is wrong and its due to the fact of the have and the have nots. When a person does good for himself and comes back to his old community, there are two sets of people there. Those who are proud to see a young brother make it out, and those who see him as showing off. I've seen it first hand. Its sad as hell, to hear cats saying, "fuck that nigga. he think he special, he ain't no better than me. fuck they showing this nigga all that love for? he ain't shit!" All you can do is look at these cats and say damn. Maybe it was some street shit that came back on him. Maybe it was a burglar who got startled that he was home and popped off (you can't tell me the dude had aim enough to hit the correct artery in his leg). Its the nature of the "gots" and "wants". He got, I want, I take, by any and all means. So on that note, I guess I can see where Whitlock is coming from.

On the other hand if this dude don't stop blaming hip hop for black people problems, I'm going to choke his ass. Music is note the major problem, shit its not even a minor problem. Its a scapegoat to keep people from focusing on real issues and real solutions. People were being killed and maimed, drugs were being sold and taken, women were being treated inferior, long before hip hop. Hip hop didn't fuck up our community, people did. The government did, the lack of guidance from both parents did. Maybe I'm biased somewhat because I am a hip hop artist, but I also have good sense. I know who's who and what's what. I know the consequences of certain forms of life. The older dudes from my neighborhood while they were in the streets tried to shield some of us from it. You can't tell me when you were younger, living in the pjs that if it was about to go down, the older dudes wouldn't say, "shorty go in the house, you can come back out later but go in the house." If you blame music then blame movies. Music is heard. Movies are viewed. You see first hand what murder looks like. What crime looks like. Its just that why fuck with them when they can fuck with hip hop, which is mainly dominated by black artists. Rock music used to talk about killing yourself, them cats album covers were vulgar and vile, yet its really never mentioned. Why? Because young black men from the "hood" aren't into it so fuck it. Its not music that's the problem, its not hip hop culture that's the problem, its the situations and conditions that some are brought up in, which makes them feel its only a few ways out, drug dealing and shit like that is what they focus on. Help fix our communities, better schooling, better teachers, better surroundings, this is what we don't have, and more than likely won't get. But hey its easier to blame hip hop. Its the easy answer like cops saying, "it looked like a gun> You'll always get away with it. Pardon my Colin moment

yeah the black kkk is sellout mothafuckas like this nigga......believe it or not every bullet thats fired in the black community is because of honkies

 

[jdgone]

He does have good points (some), but the problem is that as was earlier stated, he leans too far to one side. He blames Hip Hop incessantly, and writes articles to please his master.

Furthermore, the KKK was a terrorist organization that preyed on minorities as a policy. Raped women, burned homes, castrated men, etc. Whole areas of the South lived in fear because you did not know when they would strike. Black an Black violence is an issue but people are not being terrorized in the manner that the KKK historically did.

 

[grownazzblakman]

Fuck Jason Whitlock.

CO-SIGN!!!!!!!!!
Congrats, you summed it up perfectly with only 3 words.

Whitlock is ASS.
PERIOD.

A black athlete gets tragically shot at home, then Whitlock writes about 'the Black KKK' and how 'Hip-Hop' caused this incident? NIGGA PLEASE!! When did this fat fucker become a *forensics* expert?!

Whitlock is just a bucket-mouf *coon* who can to type proper English.
Nothing more.

 

[mariano42]

i agree with him to a certain extent. hip hop is a factor but its not the only factor.

the problem is poverty. because people are so poor they will robb and kill one another, which is why their need to be more opportunities for minorities to get jobs and to enter school. where hip hop come in? it easy, if theres opportunities for blacks and hispanics to prosper in society the ignorant ones who watch rap/MTV/BET and ganster movies(scarface) 24/7 will perfer to live the fast live of a rapper or a ganster.

niggas are so brainwashed nowadays its pathetic, ever since the drink "patrone" was used in rap videos, everyone started drinking it. before it was hypnotic cause or rappers now its patrone cause of rappers. so people drink these syhts just to ball or to retend. if jay-z start rapping about milk, GOD AS MY WITNESS!!, u will see clubs starting to serving milk. and people taking pictures to post on myspace, drinking milk.

the only solution to this syht is semi-segregation. i mean by seperating the individuals who choose to live life on the right path and those who what to be brains washed by rap, instead of actually taking advantage of opportunities.

thats why my ass is moving from the hood, cause no matter how successful u are, niggas will hate cause your doing something good with my life. .

The funny thing is that black people can't see that all this bullshit does is encourage more police brutality of the black community.

The wider public will feel like black people deserve it.............

Imagine immigrants come here and fall in line with that thinking based on these storylines created by black men hired to whip black people.

That's the problem. This time is not "that" time when Malcolm spoke. Answer me this, are you statistically quicker to die "while abiding the law" by the hands of the police or another black man?

While I never will disagree with those who want to point out systematic racism, you are doing a horrible disservice to the greater good of black people.

What is easier? Strengthening our families and our goals or changing how "the man" treats us.

Then ask yourself the question if all of the "white" ills were done away with, would black peoples current problems go away?

And to those who is defending hip-hop I dont think that is needed. While Whitlock may be not as informed as we are, lets not act like the gangsta culture has not kidnapped real hip hop. All he can do is comment on what HE sees and hears...but that the problem. That IS what he sees and hears without trying. Point is you shouldn't have to be a hip hop "head" to hear diversity.

He calling a spade a spade. For those who are offended ask yourself if his (and others) ends (which is more self respect safer streets etc) doesn't justify the means which may mean some people get offended?

Are your feelings and image worth more than the ultimate result?

Why does it have to be mutually exclusive?

We can strengthen our families AND change how the man treats us.

In fact one is directly related to the other.



Then ask yourself the question if all of the "white" ills were done away with, would black peoples current problems go away?


A lot of black problems would go away and a lot of them would stay i.e. the toality of black problems would be reduced.

There is no group of people throughout the world (and history) who have been problemless.

Are you implying that because whites don't suffer from racism that whites have no problems?



And to those who is defending hip-hop I dont think that is needed. While Whitlock may be not as informed as we are, lets not act like the gangsta culture has not kidnapped real hip hop. All he can do is comment on what HE sees and hears...but that the problem.

That IS what he sees and hears without trying. Point is you shouldn't have to be a hip hop "head" to hear diversity.

You sir just implied something that Whitlock never alluded to. How do you know what he sees and hears only?

Also please tell us who is in charge of radio & TV programming?


He calling a spade a spade. For those who are offended ask yourself if his (and others) ends (which is more self respect safer streets etc) doesn't justify the means which may mean some people get offended?

You are saying that the end result of his means is "more self respect"? By whom????

Are you waiting for white people's approval? We have been here for 400 years and not respected.

What makes you think that if there were no more rap music tomorrow that whites will respect blacks more???



Are your feelings and image worth more than the ultimate result?

The ultimate result is white supremacy and dominance.

Do you know what is cultural warfare?

 

[thirst245]

i understand what he,s saying but he needs to stop talking about the situation and go in and talk to the situation. if your not part of the solution shut up.

 

[chillwillwonka]

I agree wit ya bra, but my biggest issue is that if you have a young knuckle head brother or cuz or ever stepped into a public school, they focus be on some hip-hop influence thats NOT Common, Kweli hell even Kanye.

That Biil, Whitlock and Juan Willaims talk is the ONLY talk that speaks directly to them. They don't UNDERSTAND what systematic racism really is. Not only that, THEY DONT CARE.

You obviously see that both racism and personal accountability is the problem.

But when has personal accountability until now has been pushed by our so called leaders?

Now I know the answer to that and I'm sure you do to. (no money in that and less TV time)

Don't hate now that the personal responsibility pushers are getting some ears now.

Its been LOOOOONG over due.

 

[BlackGoku]

What I can't get over is that every article that Whitlock writes...it goes back to hip-hop. The Vick thing = hip-hop, Sean Taylor = hip-hop...sometimes he writes articles that I feel are spot on, but then there are some articles that he writes and Im just like "yo, hip hop is not the reason for all the problems in the world"

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!

In Jason Whitlock's world...

ALL the societal problems 'in the Black Community' started precisely when the 1st copy of the "Rappers Delight' album was ever sold by the Sugar Hill Gang.

READ ANY ARTICLE HE HAS EVER WRITTEN.
Whitlock always STARTS his articles talking about 'self-determination' and how we - as a people- need to 'look in the mirror' and 'stop blaming whitey'... yada, yada, yada.

And before he even finishes typing, I GUARANTEE he'll go *off-topic*, and try to make you believe his bullshit like...

1. Everyone is a 'Thug' nowadays cuz of Tupac.
2. Niggas can't stop dealing drugs because of Jay-Z's lyrics.
3. Inner City crime on the rise 'cuz NWA said 'Fuck the Police' 15 years ago.
4. Niggas is killing each other 'cuz T.I. bought all them guns.
5. Salt & Pepa's CDs are the reason for Teenage pregnancy.
6. Michael Vick was fighting dogs 'cuz DMX said it was 'ok'.
7. The NBA All-Star Game is 'ghetto'. Too much Hip Hop was involved.
8. All NFL players do is 'make it rain' at the strip club. Thanks Pac Man Jones.

Then all y''all (racist and/or self-hating) muhfuckas come out the woodwork - like roaches - co-signing this simp, talking bout... 'He's absolutely right" or "Whitlock's got a point" or "Real Talk".

NIGGA PLEASE.

- Where the fuck is Jason's article about the music found in the Virginia Tech Shooter's iPod?
- Where the fuck is Jason's article about Andy Reid's son(s) getting busted for cocaine trafficking?
- Where the fuck is Jason's article about the damaging effects of movies that contain INSANELY graphic violence?
- Where the fuck is Jason's article about the WAR in IRAQ? And all the Brothas getting shipped off to the frontlines?
- Where the fuck is Jason's article about all the drugs that the CIA dumped into our communities?
- Where the fuck is Jason's article about the lack of minority coaches in College Football?
- Where the fuck is Jason's article about the Hospital that Dikembe Mutumbo built in Africa?
- Where the fuck is Jason's article about ANYTHING POSITIVE that either a rapper, or a Black Pro Athlete has EVER done?

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.

3.

"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."

4.

"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."

5.

"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.

6.

"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?

7.

"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.

9.

"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!!

BUMP muthafuckas. Damn.

What I can't get over is that every article that Whitlock writes...it goes back to hip-hop. The Vick thing = hip-hop, Sean Taylor = hip-hop...sometimes he writes articles that I feel are spot on, but then there are some articles that he writes and Im just like "yo, hip hop is not the reason for all the problems in the world"

Yea, he keeps tying everything to music for some reason. Black People like gospel music, does that have correlation to crime or lack thereof? I think not.

A black athlete gets tragically shot at home, then Whitlock writes about 'the Black KKK' and how 'Hip-Hop' caused this incident? NIGGA PLEASE!! When did this fat fucker become a *forensics* expert?!
