Enough Is Enough!

Not since the OJ case has the White media, particularly the sports writers, had the perfect 'cover' from which to hide behind, while lobbing their racist bilge all over the place. Now they have the Michael Vick dog-fighting allegations and the Barry Bonds steroid allegations that they can fake moral outrage about, while at the same time venting their most racist feelings toward the players disguised as part of that supposed moral outrage.

Even some Black sportswriters have piled on as well, maybe to prove to their White colleagues that they can out-nigger as well as anyone else can. One Black female writer even wrote a silly prayer parody to her 'god', asking him to "Please stop Bonds before it is too late" (from breaking Aaron's home-run record). Shortly thereafter, Bonds did tie and then break the record, and this is what I wrote to her:

Ms. Hill,

"The letter that you wrote to your god, "Please Stop Bonds Before It's Too Late", was one of the most silly ever written. Apparently he was not a real God, because perhaps the best player that ever played the game, Barry Bonds, has now tied and passed the record that Aaron had held for 30+ years - in spite of your prayers!

Your god either ignored you, did not read your article, or maybe was powerless to stop a mere mortal like Barry Bonds. I suggest you find a 'real' God who can hear, pay attention to you, can read, and has enough power to stop a player like Barry Bonds if He chooses to.

This is a wake-up call for you to stop serving false gods. It's embarrassing that a Black women could be so hateful and silly and buy into this racist hysteria, and then put this garbage in a white publication.

Even some white sportswriters have admitted that this anti-Bonds crap is nothing more than naked white racism, maybe that's why, even your god ignored your ill-advised prayers.

They say 'the pen is mightier than the sword' - your pen failed you miserably."

Thankfully, at least most Black sportswriters are not fooled and can sense the racism and hear the racist overtones behind the faked moral outrage of the majority of the sportswriters. They have accordingly written some outstanding pieces that demand that both players be treated fairly and not pre-judged as so many are doing. They are also writing about the hypocrisy of the critics who fail to acknowledge the dual-standards applied to Black and White athletes, and the shaky premises that records like Babe Ruth's home-run record, really rests on.

Gordon Jackson, wrote an amazing and outstanding article on this subject:

I'm proud of the Black sportswriters who have cut through the racist hype and are providing the balanced reporting that those who claim to be 'fair and balanced', have failed miserably to do.
