    The government has the power of armed force to keep you in line. Something no corporation can do.

    Technically, that may be true, but don't fool yourself, corporate America runs this country and calls the shots.

    Must say I agree with Mr Whitlock, entire column is a good read.


    Excerpt from a column in the Kansas City Star

    Imus isn’t the real bad guy
    Instead of wasting time on irrelevant shock jock, black leaders need to be fighting a growing gangster culture.
    By JASON WHITLOCK - Columnist

    I haven’t weighed in on the Imus conflagration, but a reader has sent to me the best piece of commentary I’ve seen so far. Excerpt:

    While we’re fixated on a bad joke cracked by an irrelevant, bad shock jock, I’m sure at least one of the marvelous young women on the Rutgers basketball team is somewhere snapping her fingers to the beat of 50 Cent’s or Snoop Dogg’s or Young Jeezy’s latest ode glorifying nappy-headed pimps and hos.

    I ain’t saying Jesse, Al and Vivian are gold-diggas, but they don’t have the heart to mount a legitimate campaign against the real black-folk killas.

    It is us. At this time, we are our own worst enemies. We have allowed our youths to buy into a culture (hip hop) that has been perverted, corrupted and overtaken by prison culture. The music, attitude and behavior expressed in this culture is anti-black, anti-education, demeaning, self-destructive, pro-drug dealing and violent.

    Rather than confront this heinous enemy from within, we sit back and wait for someone like Imus to have a slip of the tongue and make the mistake of repeating the things we say about ourselves.

    It’s embarrassing. >>



    Anyone hear Whitlock on the Colin Cowherd show? Whitlock told it like it was.

    Normally I think Whitlock is an absolute moron, but he has surprised me with his opinions on this issue.



    I still don't like him though.
