It's clear that Jason Whitlock doesn't care what people think about him. That may or may not be a good thing, but based on what I have read from him in the last year, I generally tend to applaud what he says. He pulls no punches in his extremely provocative recent article dealing with the shooting death of Redskins safety, Sean Taylor, He writes:
There's a reason I call them the Black KKK. The pain, the fear and the destruction are all the same. Someone who loved Sean Taylor is crying right now. The life they knew has been destroyed, an 18-month-old baby lost her father, and, if you're a black man living in America, you've been reminded once again that your life is in constant jeopardy of violent death. The Black KKK claimed another victim, a high-profile professional football player with a checkered past this time. No, we don't know for certain the circumstances surrounding Taylor's death. I could very well be proven wrong for engaging in this sort of aggressive speculation. But it's no different than if you saw a fat man fall to the ground clutching his chest. You'd assume a heart attack, and you'd know, no matter the cause, the man needed to lose weight.Read the whole thing here.
