Jason doesnt pull no punches.I always read his articles on Fox Sports.The msm doesnt say anything because it doesnt fit their agenda.

"I wonder why we've gone four decades without a real civil rights leader to take King's place, for as Jason has himself said before, people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are part of the problem with race relations today, not the solution."

I have to agree.MLK was a uniter not a divider like Jessie and Al.

Is spot-on in this piece.

The facts of the case as they have now emerged in Taylor's murder support every single one of Whitlock's points.

It is a very sad tale.  Another four young men lost to the gangsta rap culture.

While I admit I am not a regular reader of Jason Whitlock's sports columns, I do find myself gravitating toward his pieces that involve sports and social commentary. From his "Jena 6" column to this, Mr. Whitlock has the unique ability to shine light on issues the mainstream media avoids like the plague.

As a Redskins fan, it saddens me that one of the better defensive players on the team will no longer be there. More importantly, as a person, it saddens me greatly that a young man was cut down in the prime of his life and will never see his child grow up.

Another fine, insightful piece by a hidden treasure in the media. Bravo, Jason Whitlock.

Noel, great catch on a great piece. I do not read Whitlock where I live, but I do admire any person who has the courage to tell the truth. I would expect that Whitlock will have people after his job as well as all the hate mail he will get.I hope his employers have the courage that Whitlock has and they rebuff any complaints.

Frankly I see nothing in Mr. Whitlock's column to be worth posting or adoring. His statement that this young man with a future most boys would envy CHOOSING to continue to resort with hoodlums or "gangstas" is nothing short of cowardice and a complete lack of character.

This doesn't have a thing to do with race. All male children in life grow up and usually get beat up for taking stands against the mob of hooligans which all of us endure.
I well recall Tuna in Social Studies laying it on one thug who decided to pick on him. I recall Smoke taking one hell of a beating when some kids from another school insulted his girlfriend and he didn't take the trash talk. I recall my adventures not putting up with the mob.........sure it made life lonely and downright dangerous at times, but I grew up with John Wayne character and was a leader and not a follower.

Mr. Whitlock should acquaint himself with athletes as it has nothing to do with "enslaving" people from moving on up. It has to do with these athletes like Pacman Jones LOVE being associated with these thugs as they beat the hell out of people, rape women and piss on th the world. There is "no poor Sean Taylor" being hindered in life..there is only Sean Taylor like those basketball thugs acting uncivil because there is money in it.

Check Adrian Petersen of the Minnesota Vikings. Under Brad Childress there is NONE OF THAT bullsh*t Mike Tice ushered in with Culpepper and Randy Moss clubbing, sexing strippers and running over traffic cops.
Petersen's dad was in prison, but Petersen like a great majority of players in the NFL chose to amount to something and not go in for the gangbanger adoration weak piss ants cling to.

Writing pieces making excuses for stupidity is as stupid as if Mr. Whitlock condoned poor Mike Vick for allowing dogs to chew themselves to death, because the homies were enticing him.

None of this is a reflection directed toward Newsbusters or Mr. Sheppard, but I will answer his personal note in wondering why no black leaders came to the forefront.
It is common knowledge after Martin King was assassinated to deal with is unhealthy trends that thee FBI informant on the inside was chosen to "lead the civil rights cause". That person was Jesse Jackson.

That is why Jackson was allowed to extort money for decades from corporations and "lead the cause" which kept blacks in line, in the Democrat's pocket and all a shambles on the black family scene so they were dependent and not independent.

The real leaders like Roy Innis were never allowed the funding as it was understood blacks were the property of the liberals. It was only when Ronald Reagan came to the forefront did this plantation system end and the extremely talented blacks start to emerge in public. Until then these elite black families were in Jack and Jill groups living very successful lives, raising very successful children, but not wanting anything to do with what they all knew poor blacks were suffering through.
Bill Cosby is honestly the first black who has reached back across the barriers shining the light of Truth on the misery a segment of blacks are glorying in.

It is not the KKK going on in black poor America and Mr. Whitlock should know it. It is Falujah in terroristic thugs glorified on Hamas television and music which appeals to weak people like Sean Taylor.
Mr. Taylor blew it like many do. The Whitlock article should be on Adrian Petersen in someone who is not blowing it but caring for his family.

The important thing, whether u r white, black, yellow etc, to support Jason W and push the facts, hard-cold-uncomfortable non-PC facts, on the issues. It is the only thing that will help.

Damn the consequences, especially the expected weak and incorrect calls of racism. I am going to die soon. No use in going down weak and afraid to tell the truth.

God bless J Whitlock.

It's bad enough that the Latin Kings and Mexican Mafia have declared war on persons of color.  Then, there is the astounding statistics of how many blacks are killed by other blacks.  Add to that the media's failure to report the truth about race relations and it is a simply unfortunate.

Its the false siren song of oppression. There is enough real oppression going on in the world without every two-bit Leftist professor, Islamist Imam and Black "leader" doing the voodoo on every young mind that falls into their hands.

Once the group is established as completely oppressed, then all criticism(even constructive criticism) is an attack , and all bad behavior is justified due to the circumstances of being oppressed.

It ends with burning cars, belt bombs, and commercial jets flying into buildings.
