Jason Whitlock is less than toad shit

This is the line that really sums up his mindset:
“She'd rather eat, half-ass her way through non-major tournaments and complain she's not getting the respect her 11-major-championships résumé demands.”

He's a big fat punk jackass scumbucket.

I found the article quite interesting and quite true. I guess it is always refreshing to hear someone tell the truth evey now and then about Ronald Reagen era and what a failure it was since Republicans continue to try to raise him from the dead. The part on Michael was interesting, I have just never thought that he was a child molester because I have never seen him as anything more than a child himself. But then I wasn't privy to all the info that Bob would have had access to. There is that sense in me that there are people who see that someone has problems and are willing to take advantage; but I'll never know. However, I do know that I will miss the genus of MJ in his music and showmanship, but I have not thought of him as a great man ever. Anyway, it was a good article and like most people, when someone dies we try to think about the best of their lives, even when it is someone local. That was exactly the same way Elvis was treated and his wife was underage, remember?

Yeah! you are right, but my point is – MOST of us bear that same self hatred (reverse racism if you will). Hey i am not better than anyone or worse …
So i put myself on anyones shoes.

Why should I or anyone else shoulder someone else's demons? I'm tired just because I'm black I have to take responsibility for someone else just because they are also black.

Here, here. I totally agree! There are plenty of other artists who had demons, as well, but I didn't see the media scrutinizing them with such a fine-toothed comb. I think Michael deserves to be celebrated for what he was brought us — his art. Oh, and those magic sparkly socks. He was one of a kind. And for not just the eighties babies, but our parents, shoot, even our grandparents. (My 87-year-old grandma recently asked me to make her a CD with “Man in the Middle”, so she can “have something to bop to.” Her words. Smile. Michael will be missed by so many…)

That is ALL true, sad is there were lottsa lot other GENIUS less celebrated.

People who contributed more to popular/not so popular music than MJ did.

As my Sistafriend said to me..

with Black folks, when Michael died, so did his demons. so, the only thing left to celebrate is his genius.

I don't really care about Michael Jackson either way, but I find it funny that someone who doesn't like all the attention Jackson is getting, but writes a column about him.

I took a nap and missed watching the match live on the internet. Hopefully It will air on ESPN later.

I watched it on internet live. I don't know if NBC will show it at all. ESPN might later, though I doubt it.

It's so nice to be able to admire the work of an athlete without cringing at their outside behavior. Those women are always ladies and champions in every sense of the word.
