I don't think so. You might be thinking of Scoop Jackson. You need to go back and read some of Whitlock's articles. Mainly the Rutgers women bb team-Don Imus fiasco, the Sean Taylor murder(where he was completely wrong) and NBA All Star Weekend in Las Vegas.bbgun;2255708 said:That's funny. I thought Whitlock was a guy who saw white racism around every corner. Maybe we're thinking of two different columnists.

Whitlock doesn't cry racism. He tries to push buttons along racial lines to get a deep conversation going about the black athletes, stereotypes, whatever. He tries to come off a the Ralph Wiley of this era and it does work sometimes and other times it doesn't.
Yakuza Rich;2256026 said:Whitlock suffers from the common problem of a writer being controversial for the sake of it which helps him get readers (whether we like it or not). I have read some brilliant articles by him in the past, but when you get a cross section of a lot of his articles, he's basically going against the grain to get a rise out of the readers.

and has the outlet to do that

He likes it when it is an African-American so he can pump out one of his anti-Black/Black KKK Articles.
Marcellus Wiley eloquently called him out on it.
