Why would you be embarrased by someone else who doesn't represent you, particularly one you don't seem to like very much? He represents himself, not you. If you feel even the slightest bit of embarrasment, bow your head and I will do my special invocation that absolves you of all responsibility for everything done by every other black person.

Whitlock spent too much time at ESPN. The Whitlock of 1996 might never have embroiled himself in this lame tit-for-tat.

lee jackson, can you explain this? seriously. lame tit-for-tats have been part of my shtick since childhood. you can ask my college coaches. i believe, in 1996, a magazine in kc wrote an entire article about my lame tit-for-tats...

Then I must be grouchier and more jaded, because I don't remember you doing this silly shit back then. And you didn't. I took a vacation to Kansas City around that time and stayed at a friend's place, and he had stacks of old KC Star sports sections in his den. When the dude and his girlfriend were at work one day, I must have read damn near every one of those in my boredom. Oh, you were big in KC but you'd not swollen to your frighteningly national proportions as yet. You're never going to be the viper you think you are, but that was still some solid work back in the day. You hadn't been poisoned by the Me-Me-Me brand of journalism you learned at ESPN and there was a real sense of purity to your work. But that was a long fucking time ago, and that ship has long since sailed.

this stuff is amazing. you know better than i do what i've been doing my whole life. just incredible. and you gleaned it all from a stack of newspapers in someone's basement. wow.

the me-me-me brand of journalism i learned at espn? you have to be kidding me.

and, sportsbruh, you sure you're not bitter?

alma, the beauty of a message board is that i don't have to respond to every critic with a different opinion. i don't have to tell you why the woman's opinion is stupid. you already know it, but you're playing the SportsJournalists.com whitlock game...

Which is what?

To sprew venom about BLACK analyst and writers? People who still have their PULPIT and expense accounts. Kick rocks Girly fat man - order another pizza and settle down to your new 'messageboard' lifestyle - while the REAL movers and shakers are jetting about LIVING the lavish lifestyle you USED to enjoy.

sup Jamela and Bomani.

I know Jason's a big boy and I'm sure he can take it, but Jesus, guys, some of this shit is super harsh.

Songbird asked if you are embarrassed by Scoop Jackson. And the thing I read (and comprehended) were YOUR WORDS: "Songbird, I'm gonna have to think about this before responding."

Now read that sentence and read what I wrote. I'd say I comprehended quite well.

And since I am posting, I'll give you another example of how well I comphrehend. You started this "war" with the guy, by leveling your bojangling charge. You have further gone on on this thread to define bojangling. I read that word--and your susbsequent definition--as an overt criticism that Scoop Jackson is an Uncle Tom. He smiles and dances (does he shine shoes?) like a bufoon for amused white people, who throw change in his cup. By definition, an Uncle Tom is an insult leveled at black people who are perceived by others as behaving in a subservient manner to white authority figures, or as seeking ingratiation with them by way of unnecessary accommodation. I see little difference between that and your explanation for what "bojangling" means.

Yet, after you essentially called the guy an Uncle Tom, he responded in the column that started this thread by calling your actions "black-on-black" crime. And in this thread you accused him of calling you an Uncle Tom for saying that. Black-on-black crime has nothing to do with a black person demeaning himself to ingratiate himself to white people. So I am not buying your characterization.

So you started with the guy, by calling him an Uncle Tom--the kind of shit that would make just about any other black guy I know want to kick your ass (even if he didn't act out on it). Scoop has every right in the world to be pissed. But he was actually kind of measured. He responded by calling your attack "black-on-black" crime, which given that you are both media personalities, was a more than fair assesment.

I agree. Scoop rose above the taunts and name calling. Scoop never sunk to Jason's level - and I guess that's saying alot since Scoop is perceived as being the thug. Jason is the one that STARTED all this friction. Jason is the one that initiated the first blow. Jason is the shit-starter.

Scoop moved on and became a better writer. Jason's likes to believe (ego) that it was his Name calling/shit-starting/black on black crime binge that initiated it.

Jason is the fat bitch without the coveted job.

Songbird, I'm gonna have to think about this before responding. My initial reaction would be I'm not embarrassed by Scoop. It's something different. Scoop is a 40-something black man who addresses racial issues (my pet subject) in a childish, ignorant manner.

okay, big ragu, let's pretend like you can't read and no one else on this site can read either. you guys are hysterical.

sportsbruh, you know nothing about this bizness.

jones, no one has said anything offensive. seriously. this is entertaining to me.

Jason, Not sure what your problem is on this... You just quoted yourself:

I read what you wrote, understood what you wrote, and responded. I was mostly typing in jest. Not sure why this of all things would have you in a twist. I wrote what I really think about your "battle with Scoop Jackson" above. I'm sure you disagree. Feel free to tell me why.

jason_whitlock · Jan 3, 2007

sportsbruh, why not thank me for helping scoop begin the process of writing like a grown-@$$ man? seriously.

spare the rod, spoil the child. it's tough love.

and no one views scoop as a thug. scoop is viewed as a tiny, middle-aged man who runs around jock-sniffing athletes half his age and pretending to be the hip-hop rebel voice of teenagers. it's a stale tired act that he and flavor flav have perfected.

shotglass · Jan 3, 2007

Hmmmm.

Guess it's a really good thing that you've never pretended to be the hip-hop rebel voice of teenagers.

Regardless of your treatment of me, I've been trying to take the high road on this and back you. And you say THAT kind of shit? Buh-rother.
