I cannot believe I am saying this....

*taking a deep breath*

Watch Oprah today at 4pm. There I said it. Whew..., but it was/is worth it.

She will have Jason Whitlock on her show.

He is a sports columnist and has come under fire recently for some of his dead on comments in the wake of the NBA All-Star game in Vegas and most recently the Don Imus situation and the Duke lacrosse case.

Basically boiling down to the fact that a black journalist like Whitlock is blaming the black race and that black's allow hip-hop and gang culture to influence thier lifes. Imus' comments were derogatory and wrong, but he is small potatoes compared to Snoop Dog, Jay-Z, and the Revs.

This is the story that started it all.

He is qouted as calling Sharpton and Jackson, "terrorists" on the Tucker show. This video is awesome. Where is the apology to the Duke players Jesse?

Also check out this article. It is his latest article from Friday. Not much different from the video, but still a good read.

You can also check out a podcast from Friday that he did here in Detroit on WDFN AM 1130. The sports talk radio show I listen to here. It's the first couple choices on this page.

This guy is right on.

Michele is TiVo for me so I can check it out tonight.

I'm glad someone is finally speaking out about this stuff.
