Jason Whitlock " Poor People "

Image
Jason Whitlock comments this past week on the FS1 talk shows " Speak for Yourself" and 'The Herd" regarding Lebron James handling of the vandalism that happen to his home were ridiculous. He said and I quote " that Lebron is not a victim, racism only effects poor people." Chris Broussard begin naming guys like Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Henry Lewis Gates, and Jason Whitlock responded, " poor people." Seriously? Who the hell are you to say these are poor people or to just designate racism to only poor people. This isn't being an uncle Tom this is Jason Whitlock being ignorant and insulting to every American rich or poor, black or white who have experienced racism. This isn't the first time Jason Whitlock has degraded his own race though, he has made awful remarks regarding Mike Tomlin and Kobe Bryant as well for ratings. He figures as long as I say these controversial things about the black race and the black athletes, I will keep the rig

Reaction to Jason Whitlock's Comments on Racism

Wednesday at 6:44 a.m., the Los Angeles home of LeBron James was vandalized with N-Word graffiti. LeBron said "My family is safe." and went on to say "But it goes to show that racism will always be a part of the world, a part of America, especially for African-Americans, is living every day" FS1 analyst Jason Whitlock commented on James's home being vandalized by saying that "racism is primary an issue for the poor. It's not LeBron James's issue." and that he has "removed himself from the damages and ravages of real racism." I completely disagree with those comments.

Mr. Whitlock is not the only African-American that feels that money and fame can put you "above racism". This thinking is more common than you may believe. The problem with thinking that way is that you are dividing African-Ameri

NBA Finals Game 1 Recap

The Golden State Warriors blowout the Cleveland Cavaliers 113-91 to take the 1-0 lead. Kevin Durant had a game high 38 points 9 rebounds and 8 assist, shooting 53% from the field. Stephen Curry played outstanding finishing with 28 points 10 assist 6 rebounds, making 6 3-pointers LeBron James finished with 28 points 15 rebounds 8 assist, while Kevin Love grabbed a game high 21 rebounds game high with 15 points. Man... I wasn't expecting this. I was looking forward to a good game since the rest of the playoffs been such a drag. Half of me wants this to be a great series full of "scrappiness" and close games, but the other half of me know what time it is. And this Game 1 blowout is what time it is. The Warriors have been waiting on this moment since the day Kevin Durant signed. Golden State threw the best punches time after time after time. There were a few times, especially in the first half where the Cavs had life but Durant was too much. twincitiesbusinessradio.com

This is Ali vs Frazier, Tyson vs Holyfield, Mayweather vs Manny, I could go on and on.. This two teams come into this series with a combined record of 24-1 in which the one loss was an obvious fluke! You have the best player in the world in Lebron, The best scorer in the world in Kevin Durant, The best shooter in Steph, the best ball handler in Kyrie, and the best defender in the game right now in Draymond! I didn't even get to mention the perennial all stars Kevin Love and Klay Thompson name!
